mtbride Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 And probably an increase in price as well. I'm happy that I got my 2014 for R22k a year ago

StevieL Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 that black 2014 was way better looking than the 15IMO, the 2016 looks even better...
mtbride Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 I can also stick some yellow tape in random places on my 2014 and it will look the same! mmm , every year that part where the seat tube and top tube meet seem to get thicker ...

raptor-22 Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 No change to the Advanced Anthem as far as I can see except colour.My 2015 is soooooooo schweeeeet
MarickH Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Are the components exactly the same between the 2015 and 2016?
StevieL Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Are the components exactly the same between the 2015 and 2016?I think the advanced has switched to SRAM
raptor-22 Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 X29 or Anthem Adv 27.5 ? The latter has been SRAM XX1 for 2015 already
Spoke101 Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 heard via the grape vine that a full XT Anthem will is going to be 38k.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 heard via the grape vine that a full XT Anthem will is going to be 38k. The dollar has really shafted us... along with inflationary increases, it's a real problem
Spoke101 Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 The dollar has really shafted us... along with inflationary increases, it's a real problem Trust me I know, but damm I thought the new 2016 Spez pricing was bad. This is a whole nother league.We had a local Giant dealer pumping out 2015 Anthems with a full XT upgrade for 26k this year. Thats a 46% increase

This is a whole nother league.We had a local Giant dealer pumping out 2015 Anthems with a full XT upgrade for 26k this year. Thats a 46% increase I think the '16 anthem 1 has the Factory Fox bits though, don't they? That could account for the majority of the difference... Edit: I see the '15 anthem1 also had factory fork. Which one are you referring to, spoke? The 1 or 2? And as raptor says, this is still full retail pricing with a *** dollar. The guys were also looking to move stock at a fast pace, which means very good pricing as well...
raptor-22 Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 The 2014 bikes were discounted to R28000 ish from retail at R33500. So the price increase is expected since the rand has fallen in its moer and the 2016 bikes are at max rrp. This will drop by March next year an then again in may June as 2017 model years approaches
