Built to slay singletrack with blazing speed, the new Anthem X Advanced SL blurs the lines between XC and trail performance. The lightweight composite frame features a new semi-integrated FlexPoint Pro rear suspension setup with 120mm of travel plus a flip chip to adjust geometry. Combined with a 130mm fork and an integrated handlebar with clean cable routing, it’s fast, fun and ready to rip.

RACE-BRED TRAIL SPEED

A full-composite frameset is both ultra-light and highly efficient to help you power up climbs and make every watt count. The WheelSystems and integrated handlebar/stem units are designed for maximum efficiency and instantaneous response to rider input. The rear shock is repositioned and semi-integrated with the top tube, shaving weight and creating space for a second water bottle cage.

TOTAL CONTROL

The new FlexPoint Pro suspension delivers 120mm of smooth, active rear travel paired with a 130mm fork—helping you fly down rough descents and power up technical climbs. A flip chip lets you fine tune handling for all types of terrain. Superlight composite or alloy Giant WheelSystems (depending on model) with a next-generation 120-tooth helical ratchet drive system for immediate power and robust 5mm rim sidewalls for greater protection against impacts and punctures.

SYSTEM INTEGRATION

A new one-piece integrated handlebar/stem unit adds compliance to reduce shocks and vibrations, improving control and hand comfort. It’s available in two models—the Contact SLR XC Integrated composite and Contact SL XC Integrated alloy. Both feature the same seamless cable routing and versatile sizing with a 780mm standard width and stem lengths ranging from 50-90mm.
