The early models could get to the team for the Tour de France, while the official presentation will arrive in Eurobike 2011. The bike is still final. The project has not been overturned, but the bike has been completely revised, although maintains a family feeling with the current model. New type of carbon used and the arrangement of layers of carbon. New, albeit similar, sections of the main tubes of the frame and also the new rear triangle. Remains the integrated seat post, of which Giant has been a pioneer in its application. Yet developed the fork, which retains the classic straight legs, another characteristic theme of Giant. Yet fully reviewed the cables, now completely internal. All these changes resulted in a reduction of weight, which should be close to 800 grams, and an increase in rigidity and responsiveness of the frame. Remain unchanged shares cycling, considered excellent by the athletes of Team Rabobank. For the moment we have no other information.
