Giant Contact XC 35
Handlebar
The handlebar and stem are where your hands steer the bike. Their width and length set how upright or stretched out you sit.
Giant Grit SL
Saddle
The saddle and seatpost carry your weight. The height of the seatpost sets your pedalling position.
Giant Contact Switch Core dropper
Dropper post
A dropper post lowers the saddle from a remote on the handlebar, so you can move freely on descents; raised again, it brings back your pedalling height.
Advanced-grade composite
Frame
The frame is the bike's backbone: every other part is fixed to it. Its material and shape decide its weight and how it feels to ride.
Fox 32 Float Step Cast Performance · 100 mm
Fork
The fork holds the front wheel. A suspension fork absorbs bumps at the front; its travel is how far it can compress.
Shimano Deore XT BR-M8100 · 180 mm / 160 mm
Brakes
Brakes slow the bike. Disc brakes squeeze a rotor fixed to the wheel hub; rim brakes squeeze the wheel rim itself.
Shimano Deore XT M8100
Drivetrain
The drivetrain turns your pedalling into motion: the cranks, the chain, the cassette and the derailleur that changes gear.
F] Maxxis Rekon Race · 61 mm / 57.2 mm
Tyres
Tyres are the bike's only contact with the ground. Their width and tread decide grip, comfort and rolling speed.

- Weight
- The most accurate way to determine any bike’s weight is to have your local dealer weigh it for you. Many brands strive to list the lowest possible weight, but in reality weight can vary based on size, finish, hardware and accessories. All our bikes are designed for best-in-class weight and ride quality.
