2016 Giant Anthem Advanced 27.5 0
Giant's top of the line full-suspension cross-country bike, the Anthem Advanced 27.5 0, is looking really good this year, with the key upgrade being Rockshox's RS-1 inverted fork.
With a one-piece carbon upper and steerer tube, the RS-1 is an impressive fork. Front to back, it's exceptionally stiff under braking. This was apparent with just a quick test ride in the car park. It felt plush and looks awesome, too.
SRAM's Rise 60 carbon wheelset goes faster than green grass through a goose.
Top-end SRAM XX1 1x11 speed and XX brakes give you the most X's and 1's money can buy.
This medium weighs in at 10.18 kg (22.44 lbs). She's a real beaut. We have a quick overview on YouTube.
