Hardtail

RESPONSIVE RIDE QUALITY AND MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY ON FAST, FLOWY SINGLETRACK. THIS LIGHTWEIGHT COMPOSITE HARDTAIL IS A GREAT CHOICE FOR XC RACING OR KOM CHASING. KEY PERFORMANCE FACTORS Lightweight and responsive - A handcrafted Advanced-grade composite frameset offers XC racers and riders a competitive advantage for climbing, accelerating and sprinting. XC efficiency - The frame is engineered with a high stiffness-to-weight ratio, which translates to efficient pedaling power and precise handling on the trail. Custom compliance - Each frame is custom-tuned based on its size. Individual composite lay-up schedules are created to optimize vertical compliance to produce a smoother ride quality on XC terrain. TECHS & FEATURES: 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. OVERDRIVE Giant's original 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 for road, 1 1/2" lower and 1 1/8" upper for mountain) and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness. TUBELESS SYSTEM Fewer flat tires. Greater traction. Less rolling resistance and a smoother, faster ride. Giant's Tubeless System makes it easier than ever to experience all these benefits.

When it comes to having things your way, no bike is as accommodating as the Salsa Woodsmoke. The light carbon frame and ultra-short chainstays bring out the best of the 27.5+ wheels and tires for full days of fun on any trail. The Woodsmoke will happily accept 29+ wheels for gobs of speed and traction or slap on a pair of 29er wheels for relentless cross-country speed. RockShox knows a thing or two about suspension and cover that ground, expertly soaking up the rough with a 140mm Pike RC Ultimate fork. A huge front triangle accepts large frame bags for bikepacking adventures, and internal shifter and dropper post routing ensures your bike's important parts work when they need to. A 12-speed SRAM X01 Eagle drivetrain offers a colossal gear range for slow, technical climbs, and SRAM Guide RS brakes offer incredible power and modulation, paired with 180mm rotors to keep you out of trouble on crazy-fast descents. Sun Ringle Duroc rims keep 2.8-inch Maxxis tires rolling true across rowdy trails, and the premier-level RockShox Reverb dropper post lets you instantly get into the right spot for fast climbs and even faster descents. Big wheels. Big plans. Big fast fun.

The Arc is back. Conjuring up all the nostalgia, hoots and hollars from yesteryear. It's your instant-feedback steed for any trail. Show it your singletrack, pump track and your bikepack route too. It's got history to live up to and new history to make. And it's already impatient.
