MOUNTAIN BIKE ACTION RIDE ANTHEM X 29'er!
|
"Cross country performance meets versatility"
“…the perfect bike for cross-country riders who love technical singletrack.”
US Publication Mountain Bike Action gave the all new Anthem X 29'er a thorough grilling for their May issue - and just like Guy Kesteven who tested the bike in the UK recently - the editor came away from the test thoroughly impressed with Giant's new XC machine!
On the ride:
“For a bike with competition-inspired cross-country geometry, Giant’s Anthem X 29er makes easy work of technical trail noise…descends in a very relaxed state, which allows the pilot to choose the best line through rim-twisting terrain…performs best when the rider chooses a line, sticks to it, and rides the rough terrain in a straight line, no matter how rocky or rutted.”
On the spec:
“Giant does a great job of tying their color scheme into nearly every component on the Anthem, resulting in a very clean and sophisticated look….Giant has stepped it up with in house brand components and the Anthem shows off the Contact handlebar, stem and seatpost, plus Giant’s own wheelset. The eye-catching blue is carried in Avid’s Elixir CR brakes with a 7-inch front rotor and 6-inch rear rotor, and the awesome Fizik Tundra 2 saddle.”
Buying advice:
“…The perfect bike for cross-country riders who love technical singletrack. It’s also an excellent bike for those with endurance racing in mind. …If you’re like us, then just set the sag, tire pressure and brake levers where you like, and blaze the trail.”
If you want to try the Anthem X 29'er or another of Giant's Maestro equipped or big wheeled models fro yourself then come along to The Demo Series. We're heading to Cannock this Saturday, all you need is a helmet, photo id (photo drivers license or passport) and a bank card - check out www.TheDemoSeries.co.uk for more details.
