LIV PIQUE ADVANCED 29 2 2025
Cross-country is evolving beyond fast-and-flowy to fast-and-everything—technical terrain, all-day epics, and stage races. The new Pique Advanced 29 is …ready for it. Re-engineered for greater efficiency and control, this XC queen was built to slay switchbacks, rock gardens, and yesterday’s PRs.
ADVANCED COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGY
Giant’s 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 of these framesets is assembled and molded as one continuous piece in a proprietary manufacturing process called Modified Monocoque Construction.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
- EFFICIENCY IS SPEED: Now 297g lighter*, the Advanced-grade composite frameset also features greater stiffness for efficient power transfer, a massive advantage on climbs and at speed. New FlexPoint Pro suspension minimises weight by minimising parts. And a shorter chainstay offers greater agility for manoeuvring switchbacks, and snappy acceleration for seizing every overtake opportunity. *Compared to previous generation
- CONTROL IS POWER: With its patented, linkage-driven, single-pivot design, the new FlexPoint Pro suspension delivers 115mm of smooth, active rear-wheel travel, so you can maximise power and traction over ever-changing and uber-challenging terrain. Combined with a slacker head tube angle and 120mm of front suspension, this setup ensures you're equipped to dominate technical descents.
- STABILITY IS MASTERY: Roll over just about anything on 29-inch wheels designed for stability and efficiency. Updated geometry provides a longer reach, putting you in a lower and more aggressive body position. A steeper seat tube angle increases pedalling efficiency on even the steepest climbs. And the modified cockpit includes a 35mm composite handlebar and alloy stem for steering precision.

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.
