Road Frames

Unleash your sprint with 200 meters to go. Close a gap, chase back, and launch a solo attack. This new aero road machine is made for the moments that count. More aero, more adjustable, more ways to win. Key Performance Factors: - Integrated aerodynamics AeroSystem Shaping, a result of CFD analysis and dynamic wind-tunnel testing, optimizes aerodynamic performance at every yaw angle. The truncated ellipse airfoil tube shapes produce outstanding overall aero performance. - Easier adjustability All-new cable routing through the handlebar and frame makes it quicker and easier to adjust or change cockpit components and fine-tune performance and riding position. - Race-winning efficiency Advanced SL-grade composite frameset features Giant’s pro-level composite materials and manufacturing processes. The result is 225 grams of weight savings compared to the previous generation and an even greater stiffness-to-weight advantage. Techs and Features: - Advanced SL Composite Technology Professional-grade raw carbon fiber is woven in our composite factory to produce our lightest, stiffest, and highest-quality frames. This is the technology used by Giant’s pro racers in almost every cycling discipline. - Aerosystem Shaping Technology Through CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and wind-tunnel data, engineers optimize each tube shape to deliver superior aerodynamic performance. - OverDrive Aero Found inside the head tube of the Propel and Defy ranges, the D-shaped fork steerer tube and corresponding spacers provide an extremely aerodynamic, easier-to-service system of internally routed brake and derailleur cables.

This is a no-holds-barred triathlon machine—no restrictions, no limitations. The CADEX Tri frameset is designed, engineered and put to the test by the world’s fastest triathletes in a bold quest to push the sport forward. Created in conjunction with Ironman World Champion Kristian Blummenfelt’s attempt to break the seven-hour mark for the Ironman distance, a project dubbed Sub7, it features a radical monocoque frame, wide-spread fork legs and horizontal seatstays. The massive down tube doubles as a race-ready storage system, making hydration and nutrition easily accessible. And its wide-ranging adjustability makes it quick and easy to dial in over 1,000 fit configurations for personalized performance PERSONALIZED FIT - The CADEX Tri frameset makes it easier for athletes of all heights and body dimensions to achieve a perfect fit. Using real-world dimensional as well as stack and height data collected from pro and amateur triathletes, CADEX created five frame sizes and then configured ways for any rider, no matter what frame size they choose, to easily adjust critical fit factors. ENDURANCE AERODYNAMICS - Aero performance goes beyond wind-tunnel data. Using AeroSystem Shaping Technology to create a radical wide-spread, bladed fork, horizontal seatstays and other drag-reducing frame features—along with optimal rider position for Ironman racing—CADEX Tri is about achievable real-world gains. RACE-READY INTEGRATION - The unique chassis of the CADEX Tri frameset—a massive down tube with no top tube—offers a complete hydration, nutrition and tool storage solution fully integrated into the frame. This design lets riders hydrate and refuel quickly and conveniently from the seated aero riding position while remaining totally self-sufficient on the course. TOTAL EFFICIENCY - Engineered with the highest grade T1000 carbon fiber and cutting-edge layup techniques, the CADEX Tri frameset boasts class-leading pedaling and torsional stiffness with a total weight of just 4577 grams. Combined with ultra-adaptable fit, groundbreaking endurance aero technology, and a completely integrated hydration and nutrition system, the result is zero watts wasted. COMPLETE TRAVEL SOLUTION - The CADEX Tri frameset minimizes the amount of disassembly and reassembly needed and comes with a purpose-built, high-impact resistant Topeak travel case featuring airport-friendly wheels, a full interior protection system and built-in work stand.
