Cyclocross

DESIGNED TO HELP YOU REACH THAT PODIUM, THE BRAVA ADVANCED PRO IS AN AGILE RACE BIKE CREATED TO PROVIDE EXCEPTIONAL HANDLING AND MAXIMIZE ACCELERATION. KEY PERFORMANCE FACTORS Built to Perform Advanced-Grade Composite open triangle frame design makes shoulder carrying easy, while the V-shaped down tube efficiently sheds mud. Commanding Control OverDrive 2 steerer combined with a D-Fuse seatpost offers a lightweight, responsive and agile ride with precise steering. Race Ready Tubeless set-up, 1x drivetrain, and up to 45mm tire clearance makes this lightweight race machine daring enough to take on any cyclocross course. TECHS & FEATURES: ADVANCED COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGY Liv’s High-Performance Grade raw carbon material is used to produce this frameset in our own composite factory. Using state-of-the-art materials and manufacturing techniques, Liv’s Advanced-Grade Composite frames are designed to offer lightweight and stiffness with optimal compliance. D-FUSE SEATPOST The proprietary "D" shaped composite seatpost damps vibration, resulting in a smooth, compliant ride. OVERDRIVE 2 The most advanced steerer tube technology in today’s Liv and Giant bikes. Designed to offer unprecedented front-end steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings (1 1/2" lower, 1 1/4" upper) and tapered steerer tube work in harmony to provide supreme steering stiffness.

Proven through countless pro wins, this lightweight composite cyclocross bike delivers quick acceleration, smooth handling and total control on dry pavement, loose dirt, deep sand or slick mud—everything you need to aim for the podium. ELITE LEVEL EFFICIENCY - Advanced-grade composite frameset is 17.5 percent lighter than the previous generation while retaining its best-in-class torsional/pedaling stiffness. TOTAL CONTROL - Integrated disc brake technology with flat mounts and thru-axle hubs, combined with tubeless ready Giant WheelSystem, delivers added control in variable conditions and all types of weather. SMOOTH RIDE QUALITY - D-Fuse composite seatpost helps absorb bumps and vibrations, and you also have the option to switch to a standard 30.9mm round or dropper post depending on your riding style and terrain. ADVANCED COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGY - Giant's High Performance Grade raw carbon material is used to produce this custom frame material in our own composite factory with a high stiffness-to-weight ratio. The front triangle of these framesets is assembled and molded as one continuous piece in a proprietary manufacturing process called Modified Monocoque Construction. OVERDRIVE 2 - The most advanced steerer tube technology in today's Giant bikes. Designed to offer unprecedented front-end steering performance, the system's oversized headset bearings (1 1/2" lower, 1 1/4" upper) and tapered steerer tube work in harmony to provide supreme steering stiffness. COMPACT ROAD DESIGN - Introduced by Giant with the professional Team ONCE in the 1990s, Compact Road revolutionized the look and feel of high-performance road bikes forever. A downward sloping toptube (from the headtube to the seattube) creates smaller front and rear triangles for a lighter, stiffer bike. It also makes it easier for riders of all sizes to have a perfect fit. TUBELESS SYSTEM - Fewer flat tires. Greater traction. Less rolling resistance and a smoother, faster ride. Giant's Tubeless System makes it easier than ever to experience all these benefits.

Head down, tongue down, pedal pedal pedal. A bike with a trophy cabinet glistening with World Cup silverware, the Tension C keeps weight to a minimum with its race-winning carbon chassis. When resistance reduction is a necessity, the Sram Force One groupset and matching carbon crank, Hunt 4 Season wheels, and a Richey 4-Axis stem will let you leave everything out on the course. Fast Challenge Grifo tyres are the icing on the cake – all that’s left now is to welcome the applause of cowbells as you reach the chequered flag in first place.

The beauty of the stiff alloy frame is also that it climbs quickly, readily flying when you open up a sprint. The bike handled tight & twisting turns, loose downhill & pedaly sections, and repeated short sprints all without hesitation. As you move up the rankings in the Tension collection, the Tension 2 comes with a Sram Rival groupset, Hunt 4 Season wheels, and a Ritchey cockpit. A more race-winning gear ratio suits the price point while possessing the same aggressive geometry found throughout the collection. The wheelset hosts long-lasting cartridge bearings with reliable Challenge Grifo tires, whatever the conditions, and if you so wish, make switching to tubeless simple. A T47 threaded bottom bracket provides peace of mind against mechanicals, along with the bike’s durable chassis.

Designed for hour-long racing efforts, or hacking through the woods at maximum speed. The Tension 1 is the perfect bike for those wishing to start working their way up the cyclocross ranks. With its competition-ready legal build, our entry-level racer gives you everything you need to start earning those podium places with a competent aluminum frame and lightweight carbon fork. A Sram Apex One groupset with single-chainring 11-speed gearing – though wide for elite-level racing – will leave you enough in reserve lest you stall mid-race or enjoy taking it easy in the off-season.

A World Cup-winning design ridden to multiple Elite level wins by pro rider Gosse van der Meer. Mix it with the very best on our top-flight racer. Built around an aggressive carbon chassis, its weight is kept to an absolute minimum to deliver you to the bell lap with enough energy left to boss the finishing sprint.

Possibly the most iconic frame associated with Ritchey, the Swiss Cross draws its name from early factory rider, cyclocross and mountain bike legend Thomas Frischknecht. The first iteration of the Swiss Cross in 1994 was a no-holds-barred race machine designed for one thing: ripping through dirt like no other. Captained to numerous victories under Frischi, the Swiss Cross went on to become one of the most revered frames of the Ritchey offering – proving itself a winning combination of Tom’s framebuilding mastery and Frischi’s dominance in racing. As a true ‘cross ripper or a fast gravel racer, the Swiss Cross remains lightweight and compliant, and offers the winning combination of confident responsiveness and razor-sharp handling. Its race-ready geometry will ignite the competitive spirit, while clearance for 40mm tires will appeal to those who’s pursuits reach beyond the course tape. The Swiss Cross is painstakingly TIG-welded with proprietary triple-butted Ritchey Logic steel tubing that now sports an updated one-piece truss design for flat mount brakes - providing as much stiffness and strength of previous mounts while reducing chainstay weight significantly. Whether it's ticking off the grueling miles of a gravel race or leading the charge on bell lap, the new Swiss Cross is more than capable of tackling it all. Go fast. Get dirty.
