The 2026 Giant FastRoad AR 2
Combines the speed of a flat-bar road bike with the rugged versatility of gravel geometry, giving you the freedom to explore paved streets, rough backroads, and everything in between.
Its ALUXX-grade aluminum frame paired with an Advanced-grade composite fork strikes the perfect balance of durability and lightweight responsiveness. A flat handlebar and upright position deliver confidence and control whether you’re navigating city traffic or long gravel stretches.
Equipped with Shimano’s CUES 1x9 drivetrain (42T crankset and 11–41 cassette), the FastRoad AR 2 provides simple, reliable gearing with enough range for steep climbs and spirited commutes. Hydraulic disc brakes with 160 mm rotors ensure consistent stopping power in all weather conditions.
Rolling on Giant’s S-X2 Disc wheels with Maxxis Re-Fuse 700x40c tubeless tires, this bike is ready for both smooth asphalt and rougher terrain. A D-Fuse alloy seatpost and ErgoContact saddle add comfort on longer rides, while internal cable routing keeps the look clean and modern.
With clearance for up to 42 mm tires, tubeless-ready setup, and versatile mounts, the FastRoad AR 2 is your go-to for fitness riding, daily commuting, and weekend adventure spins.
