The Anthem Advanced Pro 29er combines the most up-to-date Maestro suspension technology with a completely re-engineered 29er geometry. If XC racing is your passion, this superlight XC flyer is your ideal companion to reach the podium.
Handcrafted with a superlight Advanced-grade carbon frame, this XC flyer features 90mm of smooth rear suspension travel and 100mm up front. The new trunnion mount shock produces a lower leverage ratio for better pedaling and braking efficiency, and also allows for shorter chainstays to improve the bike’s climbing capabilities and agility. The Advanced Forged Composite upper rocker arm is lighter, stiffer and stronger than the previous aluminium version. The combination of wider Boost hub spacing and a Giant WheelSystem gives you super strong and stiff wheels for confident, precise handling on XC terrain.
Paton took winning and second place at Pro XCT in Vermont with his Anthem Advanced Pro 29er in the Multi-Lap XC and Short Track Races.
“The course was flat and fast so I knew it would be a tactical race. I chose the Anthem because there were roots on the course and it allowed me to carry much more speed through those sections. I found a good inside line that no one else was taking and saved it for the last lap. I made my attack with one to go and was able to hold off a charging field to the line.” - Cole Paton, Giant Factory Off-Road Team Rider and Pro XCT Vermont Short Track Race Winner.
