The Giant Anthem 27.5 3 is way more fun than expected but needs a few specification tweaks

Highs
  • Real turn of speed and precision on twisty trails, married with excellent parts

Lows
  • Tall/short sizing requires an extra long 100mm stem

Flow's First Bite - Giant Anthem Advanced 27.5 1

Jan 2016

There’s a whopping nine versions of the Anthem available in both aluminium and carbon frames. There’s the Anthem X with 29″ wheels, the more aggressively specced Anthem SX (click here for our review of the SX) and the regular Anthem we have here. We’ve also reviewed the Anthem’s bigger brother recently, the Trance Advanced 27.5 …

Highs
  • 11kg!

  • Top shelf FOX suspension.

  • Shimano XT single ring drivetrain.

Lows
  • Do we need a remote fork lockout?
