Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 12, 2013 Share There's a reason the Scott scale was voted best hardtail of 2012 by the okes at MBR... LazyTrailRider 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arendoog Posted January 12, 2013 Share If you look at the bb or crankset height it is clear that the giant will be more stable with your overall Centre of gravity being lower .Anthem geometry is proven by thousands of happy giant anthem owners ,including myself .Anthem was voted best bike by its users on Twentynine inches website 2011 and voted highly recommended in a DS test done for use in the EPIC 2012 .Maestro suspension is still regarded as one of the best systems .Merida???

LazyTrailRider Posted January 12, 2013 Share There's a reason the Scott scale was voted best hardtail of 2012 by the okes at MBR... Amen. I've had one (yes, *gasp*, I have a 29er!) for a couple of weeks now, and it's a revelation. It's nimble, flickable but stable enough to not be trouble, launchable over debris and roots, and accelerates like a hybrid between a bat out of hell and Jared Graves on speed. I think I should quit my day job and write blurbs for Scott... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolipoli Posted January 13, 2013 Share I would take the Anthem, but that might be because I love how Maestro works. I ride a longer travel Giant Reign, but have also owned Glory, Reign X, Trance and Anthem 26". For what it is worth though, of I couldn't get an Anthem 29er, I would look at the Scott ahead of the Merida.

Brogue Posted May 22, 2013 Share http://www.merida-bi...inety-Nine XT-M If you're paying more than 21K for the Merida, you're being ripped off. http://www.merida-bi... Pro XT-Edition - the carbon dualie Merida should set you back no more than 26.5K including tubeless conversion.

mallyo Posted June 3, 2013 Share The spec on the Merida is MUCH better than on the AnthemX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
