✓ Specs checked against the manufacturer
Last checked 3 Sept 2026 against the manufacturer's own page . The weightfigure is our estimate — the manufacturer publishes none. Caveat: Size M/L geometry row. Price is Giant's stated original RRP of £2,299; the page showed a promotional £1,839 when checked. Giant publishes no claimed weight; the figure 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, so both are recorded false but are unconfirmed rather than explicitly denied.
