Maestro suspension keeps these bikes efficient uphill, and progressive trail geometry featuring longer reach, slacker head tube, and steeper seat tube angles improve confidence when descending. The Anthem and Pique are full-suspension XC race bikes designed for technical trails and riders who need more comfort and traction on rough terrain. The current Anthem is a 29er with 90mm of rear suspension travel and 100mm front. The Pique is also a 29er but has 100mm of travel front and rear and uses a women’s-specific tune for the suspension. Both bikes use Giant’s Maestro rear suspension system for efficient pedaling and predictable braking performance. The new Maestro linkage on the Anthem and Pique allows for shorter chainstays that improve climbing and overall agility.
The 27.5” version of the Reign and Hail have 160mm of travel with a 170mm fork. The enduro geometry is the longest, lowest, and slackest that Giant and Liv offers , giving riders more confidence and control. The Maestro suspension is tuned to deliver a smooth and active suspension capable of absorbing bigger impacts. GFR helps young BMX shredders master tricks and dial in their style. With its sturdy, lightweight aluminum frame and tough components, GFR is designed to help young BMX riders as they progress. From those first bursts of speed to more advanced skills and tricks, it’s with them all the way.
You train, you put in the work, and this aero machine does the rest. Built to give you an edge when it really counts—on the attack, in the sprint, going all out—it delivers energy-saving efficiency and race-winning aero performance. Developed and proven by the fastest sprinters on the CCC Team WorldTour squad, the Propel giant KIDS BIKES Advanced SL Disc delivers ultimate speed through integrated aerodynamics. It’s engineered with Giant’s AeroSystem Shaping technology, which means every tube shape and angle is optimized for minimal drag. These tubes feature a “truncated ellipse” shape, which also result in a frame that is ultra-stiff and superlight.
Giant’s Slick brake cable is pre-stretched for high responsiveness. This galvanized cable is double ended for use with road and mountain bikes and is compatible with almost all brakes. The Trance 29 is certainly capable for the amount of travel it has, but it is not by any means a Reign 29. I believe riders who constantly ride very steep, giant KIDS BIKES technical, and fast terrain will prefer more suspension and more aggressive DH-oriented geometry. Having ridden various bikes over the past, including Trance 27.5, I’d say T29 is more capable and aggressive bike when things get steep and point down. It’s got slacker head tube, more reach and longer wheelbase than it’s 27.5 variant.
Built with a lightweight aluminum frame, plenty of stand-over clearance, and easy-to-use gears, this is the rigid version of the XtC JR family. With smooth-rolling tires that can handle the trail, it’s a fun and stable way to get started on the trail. Key performance factors Lightweight frame – ALUXX-grade aluminum frame provides a lightweight, purpose-built chassis for aspiring young off-road riders. They’re designed to go fast and stay composed on gnarly and steep terrain, send big features, while still being efficient enough to pedal back up the hill. The 29” version of the Reign (Hail is not available in 29″) has 146mm of travel in the rear with a 170mm fork.
These mountain bikes are designed for lifestyle, performance, sport, and advanced riding. The bikes built by Giant are crafted specifically for different surfaces, including on-road, X-road, off-road, and BMX. At this price point, there’s a split between a carbon frame and an alloy with arguably nicer kit. Built around Giants’ ALUXX SL-Grade aluminium frame the Reign 29 1 comes with a Fox 38 Performance fork and an X2 shock, much like the top of the range bike. The drivetrain gets a bit interesting here, it’s a mish-mash of Shimano bits with a Deore XT shifter and mech but an SLX drivetrain and Deore XT crankset.
