Thanks for the reply - it’s a gen 1 version with the button. Yeh agree, not great at all! Taken the thing off and not using lockout

Hi All, Are there any alternatives other than the Rockshox twistloc for front and rear suspension dual lockout? Mine is not working great and sticks. Not a great system. Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I am in the same boat as you - occasionally I ride gravel with gravel riders and those bikes roll so well (25-30kh/hr avg) which is hard work on a MTB! Just wanted to know if shorter travel dual sus mountain bikes feel more like a hardtail....

Hi All, I want to upgrade from my Trek Top Fuel and looking at two options considering I don’t ride super technical trails all year round where a live (mainly longer gravel rides) - just not sure what would be the best option….. 1) Gravel Bike (ie.Specialized Crux/Diverge) 2) Short travel dual sus MTB (ie. Trek Supercaliber or Specialized World Cup) I know it will come down to personal preference but just out of interest, what option would you take. Many Thanks

No it isn't from what I can see - not listed on Giant SA website or with the major retailers?? Just SL SE, 0, 1 & 3 (Not 2)

Any idea if the SL 2 will become available in SA as there is a big price jump between the SL3&1 (+-R 60,000)!! I personally think that the SL2 will be in the sweet spot in terms of affordability for most weekend worriers...... https://www.giant-bicycles.com/us/anthem-advanced-sl-2-2026

Agreed, spec is quite poor for price point of view compared to competitors.
