2023 Giant FastRoad AR Advanced 1 M/L

Advanced Composite frameset and sleek shaping make this model more than 200 grams lighter than the aluminum version. A stiffer bottom bracket area improves power transfer so you can accelerate and climb faster with less effort.

Flat handlebar frame geometry creates a more upright riding position for confident handling. Powerful disc brakes offer added control in all conditions. And the combination of a D-Fuse composite seatpost and ErgoMax saddle helps smooth out rough roads.

With clearance for high-volume tubeless tires (up to 42mm), riders have the freedom and versatility to ride smooth roads, bumpy bike paths or gravel. Single or double chainring setups are available on different models to suit individual riding style and terrain.

Features may include:

A lightweight, smooth riding Advanced Composite frameset with a flat handlebar creates a more upright position that combines speed and stability. The composite fork further minimizes weight and helps absorb road shocks and vibrations. Dropped seatstays and a D-Fuse composite seatpost add more compliance in the rear, and ergo grips keep your hands comfortable on longer rides. The lightweight, durable wheels are fitted with high-volume 40mm tubeless tires for a smoother ride, more grip, and a reduced risk of punctures. Integrated rack mounts make it a smart choice for commuting, fitness riding and weekend adventures.

• ADVANCED COMPOSITE

High-performance grade raw carbon material is used to produce this custom frame material in our own composite factory with a high stiffness-to-weight ratio. The front triangle is assembled and molded as one continuous piece in a proprietary process called Modified Monocoque Construction.

• OVERDRIVE

Giant’s proven oversized fork steerer tube technology. Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings (1 1/4” lower and 1 1/8” upper) and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness.

• FLAT-BAR GEOMETRY

Frame geometry is specifically engineered for a dynamic feel that blends stable flat-bar positioning with speed and road acceleration.

• D-FUSE SEATPOST

Proprietary “D” shaped composite seatpost dampens vibrations, resulting in a smooth, compliant ride.

• POWERCORE

A massively oversized bottom-bracket/chainstay area features a fully integrated, 86.5mm wide bottom-bracket design. Asymmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and stability on the non-driveside.

• INTEGRATED MOUNTS

Easy-to-use mounts on the frame and fork offer the option to add racks, fenders and other accessories.
