First, there was the Intrigue, then the Intrigue 29, and then the Intrigue LT. Now, meet the all-new Intrigue X range, a celebration of ten years of adventure aboard the Intrigue lineup. The X brings extra—adjustable geometry configurations, frame storage, wheel options. And in some circles, X means unknown, like all the new terrain we’re about to explore. Best of all, X marks the sweetest spot, between short- and long-travel, where everything comes together. From technical to flowy, from gravity to defying gravity, from progression to progression to progression. The Intrigue X is all of it.

HIGHLIGHTS
MAESTRO SUSPENSION TECHNOLOGY: Four strategically positioned pivot points and two linkages work together to create a single floating pivot point for the most active, efficient, and reliable suspension system.
This adaptable rear suspension platform enhances your bike’s capabilities, ensuring you have the control, traction, comfort, and speed to tackle everything from fast-flowing trails to challenging descents. Experience the ultimate in performance, no matter where your adventure takes you.
Maestro’s near-vertical wheel path and linear spring curve allow the rear suspension to remain sensitive to both small and big impacts without “packing up” under rapid, successive hits or bottoming out from big hits. This results in better contact between your tires and the trail—improving traction, acceleration, cornering and braking.
ADVANCED FORGED COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGY: The upper rocker arm is crafted using Advanced Forged Composite Technology which offers increased stiffness, durability, and lighter weight.
OVERDRIVE: Our oversized fork steerer tube technology is specifically engineered to deliver precise front-end steering performance. With oversized headset bearings (1-1/2” lower and 1-1/8” upper) and tapered steerer tube, this system works together to provide the ideal balance of steering stiffness and responsiveness.
TRUNNION MOUNT: Integrated shock mount produces a lower leverage ratio for increased pedaling and braking efficiency.
ADJUSTABLE GEOMETRY: The flip chip – Maestro 3 allows you to quickly adjust the frame geometry to match your riding style and rear-wheel size choice. It includes two flip chips: a high/low chip and a mid-position chip. Transitioning from low to mid changes the seat tube and head tube angles by 0.4 degrees, and from mid to high by 0.3 degrees. The bottom bracket height adjusts by 5mm between the three positions.
- HIGH POSITION: When this dual-position flip chip is installed in the high position, the frame’s head tube and seat tube angles become steeper and the bottom bracket height is elevated. This flip chip position allows the rider to run either a 27.5-inch or 29-inch rear wheel.
- MID POSITION: When this single-position flip chip is installed, the frame’s head tube and seat tube angles are positioned in a neutral stance, and the bottom bracket height is at its mid-height point. This flip chip allows the rider to run either a 27.5-inch or 29-inch rear wheel.
- LOW POSITION: When this dual-position flip chip is installed in the low position, the frame’s head tube and seat tube angles become slacker, and the bottom bracket height is lowered. It is recommended that the rider use the factory-equipped rear wheel in this position.
ADJUSTABLE REACH: The flip chip – headset features two different “chips”, or headset cups, placing the headset/reach in either a -5mm (short), 0mm (mid), or +5mm (long) offset position. This allows you to customize the bike’s reach to suit your preference and individual fit.
MX CONFIGURATION: Frame sizes XS and S are solely designed for an MX configuration – 29-inch wheel up front and 27.5-inch wheel in the rear. Frame sizes M and L come equipped with 29-inch wheels up front and in the rear and can accommodate a 27.5-inch wheel in the rear.
GIANT TUBELESS SYSTEM: Integrated tubeless wheelsystem and tires deliver improved efficiency, comfort and control in the most user-friendly and reliable system. Max tire size is 2.5-inch.
BOOST HUB SPACING WITH UDH COMPATIBILITY: Boost 15x110 [F], 12x148 [R] hub spacing, combined with Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) compatibility, enhances stiffness, trail handling, tire clearance, and drivetrain durability.
FRAME MOUNTS: Underneath the top tube, discover a set of frame mounts to secure a compact gear bag — perfect for must-have tools or snacks.
INTEGRATED DOWN TUBE STORAGE: Open a latch on the down tube to reveal an internal compartment that contains a water-resistant bag where you can store essential items including an inner tube, CO2 cartridge, tire lever, snacks, or a multi-tool.
INTEGRATED FRAME PROTECTION: The drive-side chainstay and down tube are equipped with frame protection to guard against rocks and debris, while a clear 3M protective strip on the upper part of the down tube safeguards the frame during shuttle vehicle transport.
EXTRAS: Internal cable routing, integrated cable ports, and water bottle cage mounts on all frame sizes.
