![]() ![]() There’s also a standard, tapered head tube and a tapered fork.Ĭrunch the numbers and it’s clear that Giant’s intentions are a little mixed. There are two bottle cage mounts - both inside the front triangle - but the stock dropper post on my large test bike fouled the seat tube bottle cage mount - stopping it from being fully inserted. The rear wheel is attached with the Boost QR 141 axle, which replaces a standard 12mm Boost axle in favour of a quick-release system. Unusually, the bike’s seatstays join the seat tube lower than the top tube, which Giant claims helps to increase the bike’s bump-absorbing ability and make the back-end feel smoother on rough terrain. Here, they continue their journey along the underside of the chainstays to the mech and brake caliper. There’s provision for a front mech on the bike if you’d like to add more gears, and the cables are routed internally through the down tube, exiting just above the bottom bracket. The Fathom is built around Giant’s own ALUXX SL aluminium tubing. ![]()
