Giant Faith 24 Full Suspension Youth MTB
Small but mighty, this highly capable new trail bike is made for little rippers with big ambitions. With a lightweight alloy frame, 24-inch wheels, and youth-tuned suspension, it balances efficient climbing, loads of traction, and confident handling to help young riders take it to the next level.
Key Performance Factors
Youth-Tuned Suspension
FlexPoint rear suspension with a Crest FloTrac Lite shock delivers 130mm of smooth travel tuned specifically for lighter weight riders. Up front, the 140mm Crest TR Elite fork handles rocks, roots and ruts. Front and rear suspension both have minimal activating force, giving young riders smooth control and confidence on technical trails.
Agile & Efficient
An ALUXX SL aluminum frameset with youth-specific trail geometry is combined with quality lightweight components to minimize weight and help young riders tackle challenging terrain. A new 24-inch TRA WheelSystem borrows key technologies from the proven adult TRA WheelSystem for improved climbing capabilities and quicker acceleration.
Off-Road Control
Giant TRA WheelSystem features WideGuard technology, resulting in lighter, stronger rims so riders can run lower tire pressures for better traction without the risk of tire punctures or rim damage. The youth-specific 24-inch wheels help smaller riders maneuver and tackle technical trails, while a dropper seatpost makes it easy to optimize riding position while climbing or descending.
Highlights
This all-new trail bike features a lightweight ALUXX SL aluminum frame with FlexPoint rear suspension and a Giant Crest FloTrac Lite shock that delivers 130mm of fully active travel to help kids advance their trail-riding capabilities. Up front, the new Giant Crest TR Elite Lite fork handles rocks, roots and ruts with smooth efficiency. A youth-specific, 24-inch Giant TRA WheelSystem combines lightweight performance with robust rim strength, helping kids make the leap from neighborhood rides and pump tracks to more challenging singletrack terrain. A dropper seatpost, shorter cranks and cockpit controls designed for small hands all add up to greater control and confidence.
Tech & Features
ALUXX SL Aluminum Technology
This High-Performance level, state-of-the-art aluminum material is made predominantly from 6011 alloy and delivers best-in-class strength-to-weight ratios. These framesets also feature unique welding technologies for a high-performance ride quality.
FlexPoint Suspension Technology
A proven “single-pivot” design that uses the flexing action of the chainstay/seatstay junction to produce a lightweight and durable suspension system with 4.7 inches/120mm of rear travel.
MegaDrive
A massive rectangular downtube and oversized toptube work in unison to provide superior front end lateral and torsional steering precision. The precisely engineered, rectangular shaped downtube yields unprecedented steering and pedaling stiffness.
OverDrive
Giant’s original oversized fork steerer tube technology. Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings (1 1/4” lower and 1 1/8” upper for road, 1 1/2” lower and 1 1/8” upper for mountain) and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness.
PowerCore
A massively oversized bottom-bracket/chainstay area features a fully integrated, 86-millimeter wide bottom-bracket design (92-millimeter wide for off-road bikes). Asymmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and stability on the non-driveside.
