Developed to meet the demands of Giant’s World Cup XC racers, this innovative rear suspension delivers smooth control, uncompromising efficiency, and lightweight agility. Its single-pivot design isolates the rear shock and produces 120mm of fully active, ground-tracking suspension. Whether you’re gunning for podiums or burning up your local trails, you have the confidence and control to fly down technical descents and hammer up steep climbs.

With a frame weight of just 1530 grams (size medium Anthem Advanced SL), and higher torsional/pedalling stiffness than any other bike in its category, the flagship Anthem Advanced SL 0 achieves a total stiffness-to-weight ratio that’s up to 16.66 percent greater than its competition.

The new frame and suspension design opens up space for a second water bottle. Integrated mounts on the seat tube allow you to attach a second cage, so you can carry more hydration without having to wear a pack—a major upgrade for marathon races or longer XC adventures.
