Giant ToughRoad SLR 2 2022 Bike

When the pavement ends, the adventures begin. Climb a rugged mountain pass, roll through gravel, or venture onto forest trails. ToughRoad SLR lets you do it all.

Highlights

A lightweight ALUXX SLR aluminium frame and smooth-handling composite fork work together to take the edge off bumpy roads and trails. Fast-rolling 700c wheels give it a smooth, efficient ride quality. Integrated disc brakes produce smooth stopping power and control on all types of terrain, in any weather. The flat handlebar and more upright position put the rider in control on all types of terrain, and the innovative D-Fuse seatpost reduces shocks and vibrations on rough roads and trails.

ALUXX SLR Aluminum

This superlight aluminum material is made predominantly from 6011 alloy and delivers the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any Giant aluminum frameset. State-of-the-art microscopic grain manipulation and advanced butting allows for 20 percent thinner and lighter tube shapes than ALUXX SL framesets.

D-Fuse Seatpost

The proprietary “D” shaped composite seatpost dampens vibration, resulting in a smooth, compliant ride.

X-Defender

Protective padding on underside of the toptube shields the frameset and rider from dirt and rocks while providing smooth cable routing for adventurous riding.

700c Wheels

Fast-rolling wheels deliver confidence and control on variable terrain.

Key Performance Factors

Lightweight agility

The frameset is constructed with ALUXX SLR, Giant’s lightest grade of aluminium, and a composite fork.

Comfort and stability

Flat-bar frame geometry puts rider in a position that balances efficiency with confidence on rough roads, paths or trails.

Integrated rack mounts

Compatible with front and rear racks, allowing easy cargo capacity for daily trips or longer treks.
