Performance
Giant says
Increased trail control. better traction. more speed. everything you love about anthem x, only more. The legendary speed and agility of Anthem X gets the big wheel boost. Developed, with the help of Giant XC pros and raced to victory at its very first event, the Sea Otter Classic Super D, Anthem X 29er is all systems go. Featuring a lightweight FluidForm ALUXX SL frameset, confident geometry and Maestro Suspension, with all the added benefits of 29-inch wheels.
