✓ Specs checked against the manufacturer
Last checked 4 Sept 2026 against the manufacturer's own page . The weightfigure is our estimate — the manufacturer publishes none. Caveat: Size M/L geometry row, Giant's nearest size to a 56cm frame. Price is Giant's stated original RRP of £2,799; the page showed a promotional £2,239 when checked. Giant publishes no claimed weight for any bike, so the weight shown is our estimate. Stock tyre is the nominal 700x32c; Giant notes it measures 33.5mm on the supplied rim. Giant's UK page lists no mudguard or rack mounts for this frame, so both are recorded false; that is the conservative reading rather than an explicit denial by Giant.
