Details
Giant's Anthem X2 gives you everything you want and need for technical XC: super-light quickness, torsional stiffness, big tire clearance and 100mm of Maestro-equipped travel. The full Shimano XT group, the Mavic wheels, the Race Face controls; these all add up to a versatile ride that's light enough to climb all day, tough enough for all-day epics in the backcountry and fast enough to race. Since these things have different suspension needs, the Anthem is equipped with a Fox fork and shock so you can custom-tune the feel of your ride for all your varied disciplines. This bike is as versatile as you are.
The 100mm-travel rear suspension features strategically positioned pivots that create a floating axis for excellent pedaling efficiency. It prevents energy-sapping bobbing and increases suspension sensitivity for optimum traction, comfort and control.
Choose your preferred pedals (sold separately) from our full selection.
