✓ 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 £7,199; the page showed a promotional £5,749 when checked. Giant publishes no claimed weight for any bike, so the weight shown is our estimate. Giant lists a fender mount for this frame, so mudguard mounts are recorded true; no rack mount is listed, so that is false. The frame uses an integrated seatpost, which limits saddle-height adjustment after cutting.
