Frame Technology
Start with an ALUXX SL aluminum frameset, a hydro-formed work of art with all the right angles then add 4 inches of active Maestro travel, and you get an XC race bike that’s light enough to waltz up nasty climbs and stable enough to rail rutted descents. Test editors everywhere agree with Giant pros: Anthem X nails it.
