Lighter Frame Weight
Thanks to composite’s minimal mass, Alliance frames weigh up to a half pound less than traditional aluminium frames.
Outstanding Lateral Stiffness
Aluminium’s unyielding stiffness gives Alliance models bottom bracket deflection equal to all-aluminium frames.
Superior Compliance
Composite’s legendary vibration absorption makes it the perfect choice for the strategically laid-out top section of Alliance frames. These advantages add up to an overall outstanding ride quality that balances weight, stiffness and ride compliance.

Seat Post Giant formulaOne Composite
Giant’s advanced mixed-material technology for the competitive racer to the weekend club rider, Alliance, is engineered to provide significant comfort and efficiency over standard aluminium framesets. It accomplishes this by fusing two traditionally independent frame materials: composite and aluminium. Unifying these two complementary materials enables Giant to create a single structure that capitalises on the performance benefits of both. Only through Giant’s long-standing experience in working with these two materials is this highly technical union now possible.
Alliance is more than just an aluminium and composite material story. It’s how they’re combined that provides the real advantage - an advantage that you’ll be able to feel in three ways
