85Nm
peak torque
SyncDrive Pro motor delivers 85Nm of torque and tunable support ratios up to 400 percent. Smart Assist technology creates smooth pedal assistance that engages instantly when human power is applied, giving you reliable performance on steep climbs and at low speeds.
140 / 150
mm rear / front travel
Optimized Maestro suspension for 29-inch wheels with 140mm rear / 150mm front travel to roll over rough terrain with balance and stability, giving you more momentum for technical climbs and the confidence to fly on fast, rugged singletrack descents.

flip chip positions
A flip chip lets you change the headtube and seattube angles, along with the bottom bracket height, to fine-tune handling for varying trail conditions and individual riding style.
The SyncDrive Pro motor delivers 85Nm of torque and 400 percent tunable support. The lightweight ALUXX SL aluminium frameset carries 140mm of rear suspension travel — 150mm up front — and a flip chip that adjusts frame geometry. Integrated RideControl Go and RideControl Ergo 3 units keep the controls clean and simple.
Highlight 1 of 12
State-of-the-art aluminium made predominantly from 6011 alloy, delivering best-in-class strength-to-weight ratios.
Highlight 2 of 12
The system combines electric power with human power to produce a smart, natural and powerful e-bike riding experience.
Highlight 3 of 12
Four strategically positioned pivot points and two linkages work together to create a single floating pivot, for an active and efficient suspension system.
Highlight 4 of 12
A flip chip lets you change the head tube and seat tube angles, along with the bottom bracket height, to fine-tune handling.
Highlight 5 of 12
A 625Wh battery cleanly integrated within the downtube of the frame, removable for charging off the bike.
Highlight 6 of 12
Option to carry an EnergyPak Plus range extender, which provides 250Wh of additional power for longer days out.
Highlight 7 of 12
Co-developed with Yamaha and optimised to work with Maestro suspension. The compact motor is lighter (2.7kg) with increased torque output (up to 85Nm) and significantly reduced noise levels.
Highlight 8 of 12
Six smart sensors precisely measure the power being applied to the pedals so the motor can provide just the right amount of assistance.
Highlight 9 of 12
The handlebar remote can be mounted on the left or right side. Buttons can be configured with the RideControl app to fully customise the controls.
Highlight 10 of 12
A top-tube integrated, multi-function on/off button that powers on the e-bike quickly and easily, with an LED display of assist mode and charge level.
Highlight 11 of 12
The integrated tubeless wheel system and tyres deliver improved efficiency, comfort and control.
Highlight 12 of 12
RideControl Ergo connects wirelessly with the RideControl app, so a smartphone can function as a display for ride data and system updates.

Hybrid Cycling Technology combines electric power with human power to produce a smart, natural riding experience. These are the systems doing the work.
Co-developed with Yamaha and optimised to work with Maestro suspension. The compact motor is lighter at 2.7kg, with torque output up to 85Nm and significantly reduced noise levels.
Four strategically positioned pivot points and two linkages work together to create a single floating pivot — the most active, efficient and independent suspension system Giant builds.
The flip chip lets riders quickly adjust the geometry of their Maestro-equipped mountain bike to better suit how and where they ride, changing head tube and seat tube angles along with bottom bracket height.
Giant’s most advanced e-bike battery system, cleanly integrated within the downtube. The 625Wh pack is joined by an optional EnergyPak Plus range extender adding 250Wh.
Six smart sensors precisely measure the power being applied to the pedals so the motor can provide exactly the right amount of assistance, instantly and smoothly.
Estimates for the EnergyPak Smart 625Wh battery paired with the SyncDrive Pro motor. Real-world range depends on assist mode, rider and cargo weight, gradient, surface, tyre pressure, temperature and cadence.
Extreme
60 km/ 37 mi
Steep, technical climbing in the highest support mode, heavier rider and load, cold weather, soft ground.
Good
120 km/ 74 mi
Mixed rolling trail in a middle support mode, moderate temperatures and a typical rider weight.
Ideal
190 km/ 118 mi
Gentle gradients in the lowest support mode, warm weather, firm surface and an efficient pedalling cadence.
Adding the optional EnergyPak Plus range extender contributes a further 250Wh — roughly 40 percent more capacity on top of the 625Wh main battery.
Recommended rider height per frame size. Where two sizes overlap, the smaller frame gives a more manoeuvrable bike and the larger one more stability at speed.
