Giant XTC Advanced 3 (Black/Gray)
2201065225
Responsive ride quality and maximum efficiency on fast, flowy singletrack — this lightweight composite hardtail is a great choice for XC racing or KOM chasing.
Overview
The XTC Advanced 3 is handcrafted from Advanced-grade composite, offering XC racers and riders a competitive advantage for climbing, accelerating, and sprinting. The frame is engineered with a high stiffness-to-weight ratio, which translates to efficient pedalling power and precise handling on the trail.
Each frame is custom-tuned based on its size, with individual composite lay-up schedules created to optimise vertical compliance and produce a smoother ride quality on XC terrain. A Shimano Deore/SLX 2x11-speed drivetrain delivers a wide gear range for varied terrain, and the carbon fork keeps the front end light and precise.
It's built for a rider who wants genuine XC composite-frame performance at a more accessible price than the higher-tier XTC Advanced builds.
