Interview: The Team Behind Giant's New Anthem Talks Kinematics, In-House Carbon, 32" Wheels, & More

Dec 2025 · Mike Levy

We put a lot bigger shock in there than what a lot of other bikes on the market have. So we have a 50 millimeter stroke shock in this particular platform. A lot of other bikes are using a smaller 45 mm stroke that has a shorter eye to eye, smaller can, smaller eyelet, all of those things.

Giant Anthem Advanced Pro 29 1 review

Nov 2023

The Anthem Advanced Pro 29 1 is Giant's flagship XC thoroughbred and, for its top-shelf price, it is tricked out with a matching component list. Along with a blingy kit, its efficient yet confident ride puts it squarely in line as a top contender for the best cross-country mountain bike crown. Bike check: Nino Schurter's Scott Spark Merida Big.Nine 10k first ride review The Rules of Faff - A mountain biker's guide Giant marketed this bike as an XC racing machine that works well both in terms of uphill and downhill situations.
