ANTHEM Advanced SL 1

Developed to help Giant pro Alan Hatherly win the 2025 Elite Men’s XCO World Championship, this superlight XC composite flyer is engineered with a semi-integrated 120mm FlexPoint Pro rear suspension system and a flip chip to adjust geometry for any racecourse or XC terrain. Key Performance Factors TOTAL CONTROLThe new FlexPoint Pro suspension delivers 120mm of smooth, active rear travel paired with a 120mm fork—helping you fly down rough descents and power up technical climbs. A flip chip lets you fine tune handling for all types of XC terrain. Superlight composite or alloy Giant WheelSystems (depending on model) with a next-generation 120-tooth helical ratchet drive system for immediate power and robust 5mm rim sidewalls for greater protection against impacts and punctures. LOW-LATENCY SPEED CONCEPTA fully reengineered composite frameset is 89 grams lighter than it predecessor, with 7.95 percent greater stiffness-to-weight ratio (efficiency) to help you power up climbs and make every watt count. The WheelSystems and integrated handlebar/stem units are designed for maximum efficiency and instantaneous response to rider input. The rear shock is repositioned and semi-integrated with the top tube, shaving weight and creating space for a second water bottle cage. SYSTEM INTEGRATIONA new one-piece integrated handlebar/stem unit adds compliance to reduce shocks and vibrations, improving control and hand comfort. It’s available in two models—the Contact SLR XC Integrated composite and Contact SL XC Integrated alloy. Both feature the same seamless cable routing and versatile sizing with a 780mm standard width and stem lengths ranging from 50-90mm.Sizes M, L,Colour – Rainbow Black/Rainbow Charcoal Frame – Advanced SL-grade composite front and rear triangles, 120mm FlexPoint Pro suspension, flip chip, 12x148mm thru-axleFork – RockShox Sid Select 3P, 120mm, Charger Race Day 2 damper, Boost 15×110, 44mm offset, remote lockoutShock – RockShox SidLuxe Select , RL damper, Solo Air, 210/50, TwistLoc UltimateHandlebar – Giant Integrated XC, composite, 780mm, 9-degree upsweepGrips – SRAM TwistLoc Ultimate Stem – Giant Integrated XC Carbon 70mmSeatpost – Giant Contact Switch SL dropper, remote, 140mm travel / 30.9 x 395mm Saddle – Giant Grit SLPedals – None providedShifters – SRAM AXS Pod, discrete clamp, 1×12 Rear Derailleur – SRAM GX AXS TransmissionBrakes – Shimano Deore XT BR-M8220, hydraulic, Shimano RT-66 rotors [F]180mm, [R]160mmBrake Levers – Shimano Deore XT BL-M8200Cassette – SRAM XS 1275, 10x52Chain – SRAM GX TransmissionCrankset – SRAM GX Transmission, 34t, 55mm chainline M:170mm, L:175mm Bottom Bracket – SRAM DUB, press fitRims – Giant XCR Carbon WheelSystem Hubs – Giant MTB alloy, 6-bolt Spokes – CarbonTyres – Maxxis Aspen 29×2.4, foldable, 120tpi, MaxxSpeed, EXO, tubeless Extras – MRP 1x CS chain guide SKU: BG-anthem-advanced-sl-1 Categories: Bikes, Mountain Bikes
