Giant Fathom 29 1

Not everyone needs a razor-sharp hard tail mountain bike refined in World Cup and World Championship races. Sometimes a hard tail should be more fun than fast! Welcome to the Fathom 29 1! The Fathom 29 series of mountain bikes are built around a hydroformed ALUXX SL-Grrade aluminum frame that boasts a stable geometry for tackling technical trails and rocky descents. A slack head tube and generous suspension travel delivers confidence when the going gets steep! The ALUXX SL-Grade frame boasts light weight and high torsional strength, making every challenging stretch of singletrack more fun. A tapered OverDrive head tube helps keep the front wheel where you point it in technical terrain, while a press-fit bottom bracket anchors the crankset for flex-free power delivery. Internal cable routing adds a sleek look to the Fathom 29 1. An air-adjustable Crest 34 SL RCL suspension fork with 130mm (that was not a misprint) of travel helps keep the front wheel planted.

The Fathom 29 1’s SRAM 12-speed Eagle drivetrain brings precise operation at your fingertips. An SX Eagle shifter is matched with an NX Eagle rear derailleur, shifting across an SX Eagle 11-50T cassette. An SX Eagle alloy crankset with a 30T single chainring does power delivery duty. Every component works in concert so you only have to think about the trail in front of you.

Rugged tubeless alloy AM 29 wheels are wrapped with meaty Maxxis tubeless tires. The 29x2.5” tires feature an aggressive tread pattern for excellent control when charging through rock gardens and root “fun houses”. A 30mm wide rim helps to spread out the tread, improving control in high speed turns and under hard braking. Shimano hydraulic disc brakes deliver confident stopping power in all conditions, rain or shine. A Giant dropper post with a bar-mounted remote switch helps get the saddle out of the way on steep drop-ins. An alloy bar and stem combination completes the cockpit.
