2017 Giant Anthem 1 27.5″ Mountain Bike

Capable of speeding to the top while still having a blast on the way down the mountain, the Giant Anthem 1 full sus bike delivers an efficient XC ride but doesn’t forget to have fun and enjoy itself.

The ALUXX-Grade aluminium MTB frame has been completely redesigned for 2017 and is now stiffer and lighter than ever. The Maestro, dual-link suspension platform now offers 110mm of supple and supportive suspension travel that keeps working under pedalling and braking.

The Advanced Forged Composite Rocker features the new Trunnion Mount which allows for a more compact design as well as further reducing weight and increasing stiffness. The frame features wider Boost spacing with 148mm width in the rear and 110mm in front, increasing wheel stiffness and tyre clearance.

Giant’s in-house carbon XCR 1 wheelset gives fast and lightweight rolling to make sure you have an efficient ride. Fox takes care of the suspension with their Performance Elite Shocks front and rear, to give excellent balance when the going gets rough. And to get you moving and control the descents, Shimano’s legendary XT groupset keeps shifting and braking crisp, precise and reliable.

Take it to the mountains with the Giant Anthem 1.
