Giant 3G Jointless Mainframe

Most of our competitors are still bonding carbon tubes into lugs - adding weight and reducing the structural integrity of their frames.  Giant's 3G Jointless Mainframe is now in its 8th year of development.

So, how is it done?:

  • Composite tubes are placed in molds.
  • High pressure heated air is forced through heat-resistant nylon bladders inside the tubes.
  • This removes all voids and provides maximum compaction of the composite
  • Front triangle is formed in one smooth, integrated structure - no lugs or joints


Benefits:

  • Minimises weight + total assembly accuracy
  • Stiffer, stronger more durable frames
  • Smooth, organically shaped looks
  • Removes 6 joints from the frame
