Giant Fathom 2 (Trekking Green)
2101017327
A hardtail 29er for riders who want smooth-rolling climbing efficiency and stable, confident descents, with a plush 130mm suspension fork and dropper seatpost that adjust to the trail as it changes underneath you.
Overview
The Fathom 2 is built on a lightweight ALUXX SL aluminium hardtail frame with progressive trail geometry: a 75-degree seat tube angle keeps the rider in a powerful climbing position, while a slacker 66-degree head angle adds stability and confidence on technical descents. It's a frame tuned to help riders climb, corner, and hold speed on the flats with equal efficiency.
Up front, a Giant Crest 34 RCL suspension fork with 130mm of travel absorbs roots, rocks and ruts, while a Shimano Deore 12-speed drivetrain provides a wide gear range for everything from steep climbs to fast singletrack. A Giant Contact Switch dropper seatpost with a handlebar remote lets riders drop the saddle instantly for descents and raise it back up for the next climb, and grippy, high-volume Maxxis tyres in a tubeless setup add traction exactly where it's needed on rugged terrain.
It's built for a rider who wants to progress on singletrack without compromising on climbing performance, in a hardtail that's set up to handle real trail riding rather than just fire roads.
Why You'll Like It
- Confident descents, efficient climbs: Progressive trail geometry with a slacker head angle and steeper seat tube angle balances downhill stability with climbing power.
- Plush, trail-ready suspension: The Giant Crest 34 RCL fork's 130mm of travel absorbs roots, rocks and ruts for a smoother, more controlled ride.
- On-the-fly saddle adjustment: A dropper seatpost with a handlebar remote lets you drop the saddle instantly before a descent and bring it back up for the next climb.
- Wide-range, dependable shifting: The Shimano Deore 12-speed drivetrain covers steep climbs and fast descents without hunting for gears.
- Grip when it matters: High-volume, tubeless-ready Maxxis tyres front and rear add confidence-inspiring traction on loose or rocky terrain.
Who Is It For?
The Fathom 2 suits a rider who's ready to move beyond fire roads and smooth trails into genuine singletrack, where a suspension fork and dropper post start to matter. The progressive geometry and 130mm of front travel make it a confident companion for the rockier, more technical trails found on weekend rides out of most Indian cities.
It also works well for a rider upgrading from a rigid or basic hardtail who wants to tackle more ambitious trail days without jumping straight to a full-suspension bike. The wide gear range and dropper post mean it adapts easily between long fire-road climbs and the kind of punchy, technical descents that reward a more capable setup.
Good to Know
The fork's 130mm of travel and Boost thru-axle spacing give the front end a stiffer, more precise feel on technical terrain, and the factory tubeless tyre setup is ready to run without extra conversion work. The dropper seatpost's handlebar remote keeps saddle height adjustments quick and intuitive mid-ride. This colourway is currently available in size L.
