Anthem X Advanced SL
WILD SPEED
Every trail presents a challenge. Can you conquer the technical climb? Descend and rail corners with more flow? Can you go faster today than you did yesterday?
The desire to squeeze out more speed, to see how far you can push yourself, doesn’t always mean pinning on a race bib. Whether you’re going all out for a Strava segment, for bragging rights with friends, or just to experience that feeling of speed, it’s fun to go fast.
That’s the idea behind the new Anthem X Advanced SL. With a longer travel fork and modern, trail-tested components, it’s the wilder sibling of the race-focused Anthem Advanced SL. It’s built on the same composite frame with 120mm of smooth FlexPoint Pro rear suspension. Lightweight and efficient, it climbs with purpose and it charges technical terrain with swagger.
It’s not just about chasing podiums.
It’s about chasing that rush.
Facteurs de performance clés
RACE-BRED TRAIL SPEED
A full-composite frameset is both ultra-light and highly efficient to help you power up climbs and make every watt count. The WheelSystems and integrated handlebar/stem units are designed for maximum efficiency and instantaneous response to rider input. The rear shock is repositioned and semi-integrated with the top tube, shaving weight and creating space for a second water bottle cage.
TOTAL CONTROL
The new FlexPoint Pro suspension delivers 120mm of smooth, active rear travel paired with a 130mm fork—helping you fly down rough descents and power up technical climbs. A flip chip lets you fine tune handling for all types of terrain. Superlight composite or alloy Giant WheelSystems (depending on model) with a next-generation 120-tooth helical ratchet drive system for immediate power and robust 5mm rim sidewalls for greater protection against impacts and punctures.
SYSTEM INTEGRATION
A new one-piece integrated handlebar/stem unit adds compliance to reduce shocks and vibrations, improving control and hand comfort. It’s available in two models—the Contact SLR XC Integrated composite and Contact SL XC Integrated alloy. Both feature the same seamless cable routing and versatile sizing with a 780mm standard width and stem lengths ranging from 50-90mm.
Points importants
1
ADVANCED SL COMPOSITE
2
FLEXPOINT PRO SUSPENSION
Developed as superlight rear suspension for XC bikes that demand efficiency, control and responsive handling, this 120mm, linkage-driven, single-pivot system is semi-integrated and attached beneath the top tube with a full-composite swingarm to minimize frame weight.
3
ADVANCED FORGED COMPOSITE
A high-pressure molding process is used to produce a complex shaped carbon-fiber upper rocker arm that is lighter, stiffer and stronger than an aluminum version.
4
ADJUSTABLE GEOMETRY
A two-position flip chip lets you adjust frame geometry and fine-tune the handling for your riding style and terrain. The High setting locks in a steeper head and seat tube angle, along with a higher bottom bracket, for sharp, aggressive handling on tight, technical terrain. The Low setting reduces the head and seat tube angles and lowers the bottom bracket, offering slightly more relaxed handling and greater control for high-speed descents.
5
TWO BOTTLES
New frame design has space for a second water bottle. Integrated mounts on the the seat tube allow you to carry more hydration without having to wear a pack—a major upgrade for marathon races or longer XC rides.
6
OVERDRIVE
Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings (1 1/2” lower and 1 1/8” upper) and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness.
7
INTEGRATED FRAME STORAGE
Easily accessible compartment inside the down tube includes an all-new water-resistant tool roll to safely and quietly carry essential items.
8
POWERCORE
A massively oversized bottom bracket area features a fully integrated, 92mm wide design. Asymmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and increased stability on the non-driveside.
9
WIDE GUARD
Hookless rims with a 30mm inner width and robust 5mm rounded-edge sidewalls let you run lower tire pressures for greater control, and a reduced risk of rim damage and punctures.
10
RATCHET DRIVE SYSTEM
A 10° helical engagement between the hub and ratchet rings produces efficient, consistent power transfer with reduced stress on components. 120-tooth helical ratchet rings deliver rapid 3° engagement for immediate response and precise power.
11
GIANT TUBELESS SYSTEM
Integrated Tubeless WheelSystem and tires deliver improved efficiency, comfort and control in the most user-friendly and reliable system.
Technologies
Technologie de Composite Advanced SL
Le matériel de carbone brut de niveau professionnel Giant est tissé dans notre propre manufacture en utilisant nos méthodes d'ingénérie et de construction les plus avancées incluant: Technologie de Fibre Continue, afin d'ajouter de la puissance tout en réduisant le poids; Technologie de Nanotube en Carbone, afin d'améliorer la résistance aux impacts; et le Processus Fusion, pour des jonctions de cadre plus légères et robustes.
Technologie de Composite Advanced Forged
Un processus de moulage haute-pression à la pointe de la technologie est utilisé afin de produire des composantes aux formes complexes en fibre de carbone, plus légères, rigides et robustes que les composantes similaires fabriquées à partir d'aluminium. Cette technologie est utilisée pour les composantes nécessitant la plus haute performance, telles que le bras oscillant du système de suspension Maestro.
FlexPoint Pro Suspension Technology
Developed as a superlight rear suspension setup for XC bikes that demand efficiency, control and responsive handling, FlexPoint Pro is a linkage-driven, single-pivot system that delivers 100mm of rear-wheel travel. It’s engineered with a full-composite swingarm that significantly reduces overall frame weight.
MegaDrive
Un tube diagonal rectangulaire massif et un tube horizontal surdimensionné travaillent d'unisson afin de fournir une précision de conduite. Le tube diagonal rectangulaire, conçu avec précision, produit une rigidité de direction et de pédalage sans précédent.
OverDrive
La technologie originale de Giant. Conçu pour fournir une conduite de précision, le système de roulements surdimensionnés du jeu de direction (1 1/4” en bas, 1 1/8” en haut pour la route, 1 1/2” en bas, 1 1/8” en haut pour la montagne) et le pivot de fourche conique travaillent conjointement afin d'offrir une rigidité directionnelle optimale.
PowerCore
Une zone de jeu de pédalier/base arrière extrêmement surdimensionnée, caractérisée par un jeu de pédalier de 86mm (92mm pour les vélos de montagne) de diamètre totalement intégré. La base arrière asymétrique fournit plus de rigidité du côté du pédalier et plus de stabilité du côté opposé.
Wide Guard Technology
When your wheel hits a sharp or square edge, especially at speed, pinch flats and rim damage can occur. Wide Guard technology minimizes this risk by broadening the contact point between the rim and tire with a solid 5mm rim sidewall. That means you can skip the heavy tire inserts to have less unsprung weight on your bike and allow your suspension to perform better. The wide sidewalls also better protect your wheel from big impacts, reducing the possibility of rim damage.
Tubeless System
Moins de crevaisons. Meilleure traction. Moins de résistance et un roulement plus doux et plus rapide. Le système Tubeless Giant vous permet d'expérimenter ces avantages plus facilement que jamais.
