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.
