Lighter weight
The Advanced SL-grade composite frame (upgraded from Advanced-grade composite), combined with refinements to the paint, seatpost, fueling system, and handlebars, reduces the weight of the new Trinity Advanced SL by 558 grams compared to its predecessor, making it the lightest Trinity yet.
Stiffness and efficiency
The new Trinity Advanced SL achieves a 12% improvement in efficiency while maintaining the same stiffness as the original model. Feedback from athletes confirmed that the original Trinity’s stiffness provided optimal steering, sprinting, and pedaling performance, so Giant focused on reducing weight to enhance overall efficiency without compromising the bike’s exceptional handling and power transfer.
Disc brakes
The new Trinity Advanced SL upgrades from rim brakes to disc brakes, offering superior braking power in all weather conditions, better heat dissipation, reduced rim wear, and more consistent braking performance. This results in greater control and confidence on technical courses.
Integrated fueling system: AeroVault System
The AeroVault System has been notably updated to seamlessly integrate into the frameset. The expanded hard-shelled bento box now holds six gels (up from four), while the redesigned hydration system includes dual-sided access for easy refilling and a capacity of 700ml on sizes XS, S and 850ml on size M and L.
Adjustability.
The new Trinity Advanced SL features unmatched adjustability, making it the most versatile triathlon and TT frameset on the market. Designed to adapt to a wide range of body shapes and proportions, it seamlessly transitions between triathlon and TT disciplines.
- Armrests: 24x more adjustment options than the previous generation, easily customizable with a simple two-bolt mechanism.
- Seatpost: redesigned with four offset positions and a 51mm adjustment range (compared to two positions and 40mm previously), offering greater flexibility to achieve the ideal riding position for comfort and efficiency.
- Riding positions:
- For triathlon racing, the Trinity Advanced SL supports a more upright, comfortable position ideal for endurance events.
- For TT racing, it accommodates a more aggressive, aerodynamic position for maximum speed.
