Trail-ready 27.5″ hardtail with air suspension fork, dropper post, 1×12 SRAM drivetrain, and hydraulic disc brakes—built for control and confidence
Embrace trail confidence and versatility with the Giant Fathom 1 M – Knight Shield—a modern hardtail engineered for riders seeking performance on mixed terrain. Crafted from Giant’s ALUXX SL aluminum, the lightweight frame features balanced, trail-tuned geometry: a 75° seat tube angle for efficient pedaling and a slacker 66° head tube for added composure on descents. Built for fun, not fear.
A Giant Crest 34 RCL air fork with 130 mm of travel soaks up roots and rocks, while the dropper seatpost gives you instant saddle-drop for steep technical sections. High-volume 27.5″ tires (up to 2.6″ clearance) grip loose trails, and tubeless-ready rims make climbing and cornering smoother.
The ride-control package is solid: a SRAM 1×12 drivetrain with NX Eagle rear derailleur and SRAM SX crankset simplifies shifting and enhances chain control; powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes (MT‑420/MT‑401 levers + RT‑26 rotors) deliver reliable stopping power in all conditions.
