Giant Omnium

The Giant Omnium is a bike that features an ALUXX SL aluminum frame that perfectly blends aerodynamics and stiffness. With a specially designed aero fork and no brake bosses or bottle cage mounts, Omnium was built and designed as a do-it-all bike rather than a pure sprinter or pursuit machine. Giant's aim was to create the stiffest and most aerodynamic frame possible with the weight falling in the UCI limits. The result is a totally new chassis crafted from Giant’s Aluxx SL aluminium tubing, with a huge down tube that tapers internally (and complies with the UCI’s 3:1 rule). Other features include an Overdrive tapered head tube and fork steerer, and a new fork that’s similar to the one found on the new Trinity time trial bike but with a thinner profile and no cable routing. The carbon seatpost has adjustable offset like on Giant’s TCR Advanced, and the dropouts have been designed so that if you overtighten the wheel it doesn’t damage the frame. The Omnium is available in Black/White/Team Blue.
