Giant Crosscut Grip

This tire is optimized for gravel and dirt, with a 90/10 split favoring unpaved surfaces. While it rolls efficiently on pavement, it is specifically designed to handle the loose, technical terrain found on gravel roads.

X-Shield is a protective layer integrated into the tire's casing that specifically reinforces the sidewalls. This helps prevent cuts and abrasions from sharp rocks or debris, which is a common issue when riding on technical gravel trails.

Yes, these tires are designed for a tubeless setup. Running them tubeless is recommended, as it allows you to lower your tire pressure for better traction and significantly reduces the risk of pinch flats.

The tread pattern features spaced-out side knobs that are specifically designed to shed mud and water as you ride. This helps maintain consistent grip and cornering control even when the trail gets sloppy.

These are 700c tires with a 40mm width, so you need to ensure your frame and fork have enough clearance to accommodate a 40mm tire. They are standard 700c diameter, but the width is wider than a typical road tire, so check your bike's specifications first.
