A thoroughly modern high-tech cross-country bike that flies when care is taken over its setup
Excellent XC geometry
Decent spec list, even for the cash
Confident yet agile handling
Harsh cockpit
Live Valve needs care to get settings right
May 2022 · Graham Cottingham
Giant's new long-standing Anthem gets a serious suspension and geometry overhaul for 2022 in what could be the cross-country bike's biggest update yet
Calm and controlled geometry
Well controlled suspension
Very capable spec list
Live Valve works effectively in the background
Lower shock mount recess collects dirt
Only one bottle cage
No downtube protection
No internal frame storage
Snakepit of Live Valve cables

In Issue #116 of Singletrack Magazine, Wil and the crew tested three new generation full suspension XC race bikes. Read on for the full review of the 2018 Giant Anthem...

The Giant Anthem Advanced Pro 29 is Giant's short (90mm) travel, carbon XC race weapon. Matched to a 100mm fork it delivers almost trail bike handling.
Exceptional handling prowess.
Component list.
The ride is a little too relaxed and soft for a true XC race bike.
Tricky getting the front end set to the right height.

The bike we've been waiting for from Giant is finally here, a cross-country race bike with... wait for it... 29" wheels, yay! The new Anthem 29 is 100% ready for racing with razor-sharp handling and smooth efficient suspension. Read our full review here!
Race-ready 29er.
Fast rolling and ultra-efficient.
Supple Fox suspension.
SRAM Eagle drivetrain.
On/off suspension lockout, nothing in between.
27.2mm seat post restricts dropper post options.

Giant’s all-new carbon 29er cross country race bike is quick as lightning

The 2018 Giant Anthem 29 returns to its XC roots.
Jun 2017 · Jason Sumner
New lightweight rig is an unapologetically XC race bike with 29er wheels, 100mm/90mm of front and rear, no stock dropper post option, and 1x on most builds. - Mtbr.com
