Product Information
Giant Anthem X 29er 1 2012
The Anthem X 29er is the culmination resulting from the integration of 2 successful concepts into the one bike.
The agility, quickness and versatilty of the famed Anthem X design has been combined with the control, speed and stability of 29" wheels resulting in a bike suitable for XC racing, 12 hour marathons, multi day challenges, or almost anything else as the nickname "Mr Versatility" indicates. Every cross country pursuit will be improved as the Anthem X 29er has impeccable trail manners. It is extremely stable and has immpressive improvements in the level of traction available making every ride a joy and better than the one before.
As can be ratified at any mountain bike event, SRAM is often a favoured brand by competitors and this bike is predominately SRAM equipped with a Fox rear shock and front suspension to boot. As with many race orientated bikes the Anthem X 29er 1 features 2 by 10 gearing, meaning a double chainring at the front and a 10 speed rear cassette, which is often favoured by many racers but is even useable by lesser mortals given the advantages introduced with 29" wheels. This really is a fast go anywhere type of bike.
The ALUXX SL fluid formed frame shares the evolutionary advancements, heritage and technology of all Giant aluminium frames, benefitting from decades as the leader in aluminium frame technology. Assembled with a range of great components, the Anthem X 29er 1 is a bike to be ridden fast and enjoyed.
