Liv Pique Advanced SL 2 White/Carbon

Built for speed

The new Advanced SL-grade composite frame is the lightest we’ve ever designed, achieving exceptional stiffness-to-weight so you can punch up climbs, shoot out of corners, and sprint to the next section without hesitation. Tuned specifically for downcountry adventures, the reengineered FlexPoint Pro Suspension is lighter, more compact, and more responsive.

Built for performance

The Pique X Advanced SL is designed as a single optimised system. The new one-piece handlebar-stem with fully integrated cable routing keeps things light, clean, and responsive. Giant WheelSystems with Wide Guard rims give you robust sidewalls so you can run lower tyre pressure for extra grip and puncture protection.

Built for fun

The updated FlexPoint Pro suspension system offers 120mm of smooth, active rear-wheel travel, paired with a 130mm fork, keeping you glued to the trail when it’s rowdy, and efficient when it’s not. The two-position flip chip lets you adjust your geometry for the perfect handling for the terrain. And with built-in down tube storage, you’re ready to fix and fuel.

Features

• Advanced SL Composite Technology: Professional-grade raw carbon is woven in Giant Group’s composite factory using the most advanced engineering and construction methods. Continuous Fibre Technology adds strength and minimizes weight.
• FlexPoint Pro Suspension: Engineered for XC efficiency, control, and responsive handling, this 120mm single-pivot system is semi-integrated beneath the top tube with a full-composite swingarm to minimize weight while maximizing traction on technical terrain. Unlike other single-pivot designs, FlexPoint Pro isolates suspension performance from frame flex, eliminating unwanted resistance so every bump is absorbed exactly as intended. The result is smoother small-bump sensitivity, more consistent control, and a more efficient ride.
• Advanced Forged Composite: A high-pressure moulding process produces a complex shaped carbon-fibre upper rocker arm that’s lighter, stiffer and stronger than an aluminium version.
• Adjustable Geometry: A two-position flip chip lets you adjust frame geometry and fine-tune the handling to match your riding style and terrain. The High setting steepens the head and seat tube angles and raises the bottom bracket for sharper, more aggressive handling, while the Low setting slackens the angles and lowers the bottom bracket to add stability and confidence on high-speed, technical descents.
• OverDrive: Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings (1 ½” lower and 1 ⅛” upper) and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness.
• Integrated Down Tube Storage: A built-in storage compartment with a removable tool roll bag keeps ride essentials—tools, tubes, snacks—secure and organized inside the frame. It’s a clean, convenient way to leave the pack behind and stay streamlined on longer rides.
• Megadrive: A significantly oversized down tube and top tube work together to deliver exceptional front-end lateral and torsional stiffness. The precisely engineered rectangular down tube improves steering precision and pedalling response.
• Powercore: A massively oversized bottom bracket area features a fully integrated, 92mm-wide design for maximum pedalling stiffness and power transfer. Asymmetric chainstays boost driveside rigidity and enhance stability on the non-driveside.
• Integrated Cockpit: Bikes feature either the carbon Contact SLR XC or alloy Contact SL XC integrated handlebar-stem. Both share a 780 mm width, –8° stem angle, 9° backsweep, and 2° upsweep, providing full internal cable routing for a clean, race-focused setup. The 780 mm width delivers confident control on technical courses and can be easily cut for a custom fit.
• Giant Tubeless System: The integrated XCR and XCA WheelSystems and tyres deliver improved efficiency, comfort and control in the most user-friendly and reliable system.
• Wide Guard: Hookless rims with a 30mm inner width and robust 5mm-thick rounded edges are engineered to deflect angled impacts and reduce the risk of rim damage or tire sidewall cuts. This design allows lower tyre pressures for better traction and fewer pinch flats.
• Ratchet Drive System: A 10° helical interface between the hub and ratchet rings ensures smooth, consistent power transfer while reducing stress on internal components. The 120-tooth helical ratchet rings deliver rapid 3° engagement for instant response and precise power.
• Two Bottles: Sizes S, M, and L feature space for a second water bottle with integrated seat tube mounts giving you more hydration options for long XC rides and marathon events. Size XS fits a single 750 ml bottle, making the most of available space.
• Computer Mount: A sleek, top-cap mount integrated into the one-piece handlebar-stem keeps your device centered, secure, and easy to read for a clean, streamlined cockpit.
