Giant Fathom

No. As of September 2026, Giant has no Fathom mountain bikes available in Australia.

And we aren't expecting stock for the foreseeable future.

Giant still lists the Fathom on its global range, so this is an availability question rather than a model that has been formally dropped.

We've kept this page up rather than deleting it, because the Fathom was a genuinely good bike and the question it answers is still a fair one:

Where do you go for an alloy trail hardtail with real travel, modern geometry and a dropper post, for under two thousand dollars?

There are now several answers, and at least one of them is a straight upgrade on the Fathom at the same price.

There isn't one replacement, because people arriving here want one of two different things.

If you want to stay with Giant:

The closest bike in the current Australian range is the Giant Talon.

Be clear about what you're getting though:

The Talon runs 100mm of front travel against the Fathom's 130mm, on more cross-country geometry.

It is a lighter, faster, less aggressive bike, not a Fathom with a different sticker.

For fire roads, singletrack, commuting and general trail riding it's excellent and it starts well under the Fathom's old price. For the rougher, steeper riding the Fathom was built for, it isn't the same tool.

If you want to match what the Fathom actually did:

Look at the Norco Charger and the Cannondale Habit HT instead.

Both run 130mm forks and 29-inch wheels with droppers fitted as standard, which is the Fathom's exact recipe.

Both sit in the same price band too.

And at the Fathom 29 2's own $1,899, the Norco Charger A1 gives you Shimano Deore 12-speed where the Fathom gave you CUES 10-speed, on the same travel and the same wheels.

That's the honest version of "as good or better." On travel and geometry these bikes are equivalent. On drivetrain at matched price, two of them are ahead.

We hold trail hardtails across all three stores, at Heidelberg Heights, Hallam and Hoppers Crossing.

One thing to know before you order:

Giant, Cannondale and Norco all restrict online shipping on complete bikes, so every bike on this page is Click and Collect or in-store purchase only.

That isn't a policy we chose, and honestly it works in your favour on a bike like this.

A trail hardtail needs to be set up properly, sized properly and ridden before you commit.

If you've been looking at the Fathom for a while, an hour in one of our stores comparing a Charger against a Habit HT will tell you more than any spec sheet.
