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 clés de performance
VITESSE DE COURSE SUR LES TRAILS
Le cadre entièrement en carbone est ultra-léger et très efficace, vous permettant de gravir les pentes sans effort et d'utiliser chaque watt de manière optimale. Les systèmes de roues et l'ensemble guidon-potence intégré sont conçus pour une efficacité maximale et une réponse immédiate à vos mouvements. L'amortisseur arrière a été repositionné et partiellement intégré dans le tube supérieur, ce qui permet de gagner du poids et de créer de l'espace pour un deuxième porte-bidon.
CONTRÔLE TOTAL
Avec un débattement actif de 120 mm à l'arrière et une fourche de 130 mm, la nouvelle suspension FlexPoint Pro offre une conduite souple et contrôlée, vous permettant de maîtriser sans effort les descentes cahoteuses et les montées techniques. La puce Flip-Chip vous permet d'ajuster avec précision la maniabilité à tout type de terrain.
INTÉGRATION DU SYSTÈME
La nouvelle unité intégrée guidon-potence monobloc offre plus de souplesse, réduit les chocs et les vibrations, pour un meilleur contrôle et une maniabilité plus confortable. Vous avez le choix entre deux modèles : Contact SLR XC Integrated en carbone et Contact SL XC Integrated en aluminium. Les deux versions séduisent par leur passage de câbles sans soudure et sont disponibles dans différentes tailles : largeur de 780 mm et longueurs de potence de 50 à 90 mm.
Points importants
1
ADVANCED SL COMPOSITE
Professional-grade raw carbon is woven in the Giant composite factory using the most advanced engineering and construction methods. Continuous Fiber Technology adds strength and minimizes weight.
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.
