Anthem X2

;)
Overview
XC RACE, MARATHON, ANOTHER WEEKEND EPIC. FOR THOSE WHO DO IT ALL AND WANT TO DO IT A LITTLE FASTER, THE ALL-NEW ANTHEM X IS THE ANSWER.
Its versatility makes it one of the staples in Giant’s performance off-road family. The lightweight ALUXX SL frameset is a FluidForm work of art with all the right angles. Add 4 inches of Maestro Suspension travel and new features like a PressFit bottom bracket for stiffness and a tapered OverDrive headtube for pinpoint steering and you have an off-road bike that’s lightweight enough to race and tough enough to rail nasty descents, week in and week out.

| Weight | How much does this bike weigh? It’s a common question, and rightly so. But the truth is, there are no industry standards for claiming bike weights—and this leads to a lot of misinformation. Variances exist based on size, frame material, finish and hardware. And as bikes get lighter, these differences become more critical. At Giant, we believe the only way to truly know the weight of any particular bike is to find out for yourself at your local retailer. |
