DESCRIPTION
Cross-country is evolving beyond fast-and-flowy to fast-and-everything—technical terrain, all-day epics, and stage races. The new Pique Advanced 29 is …ready for it. Reengineered for greater efficiency and control, this XC queen was built to slay switchbacks, rock gardens, and yesterday’s PRs.
Efficiency is Speed
Now 297g lighter*, the Advanced-grade composite frameset also features greater stiffness for efficient power transfer, a massive advantage on climbs and at speed. New FlexPoint Pro suspension minimizes weight by minimizing parts. And a shorter chainstay offers greater agility for maneuvering switchbacks, and snappy acceleration for seizing every overtake opportunity. *Compared to previous generation
Control is Power
With its patented, linkage-driven, single-pivot design, the new FlexPoint Pro suspension delivers 115mm of smooth, active rear-wheel travel, so you can maximize power and traction over ever-changing and uber-challenging terrain. Combined with a slacker head tube angle and 120mm of front suspension, this setup ensures you're equipped to dominate technical descents.
Stability is Mastery
Roll over just about anything on 29-inch wheels designed for stability and efficiency. Updated geometry provides a longer reach, putting you in a lower and more aggressive body position. A steeper seat tube angle increases pedaling efficiency on even the steepest climbs. And the modified cockpit includes a 35mm composite handlebar and alloy stem for steering precision.

The sizing chart is a great place to start when picking your next bike but everyone will fit a bike a bit differently. Your torso, arm, and leg lengths all play into what size of bike you may need. Plus, there's your own personal preference.
We always recommend swinging by the shop and taking the bike that you're looking for a spin to see how it feels. If you're unable to come by, looking at the geometry of your current bike and comparing it is a good place to start. If you have any further questions, our customer service team is there to help.
