Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Is that not what one will get when putting a 120 on a 29er Anthem ... a bit whack Sorry OTSmall tweaks here and there since then though.
edgarblount Posted November 6, 2015 Author Posted November 6, 2015 Thanks for all the advice guys. Will go and test some Giants now.
Cat2forLife Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Any issues with the Maestro Suspension on the Giants that you guys know of? Lol!
nonky Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 You'd be doing yourself a HUGE disservice if you didn't at least ride/test the Camber. I have a 2014/2015 and it's perfect for stage races and trails at Haka, Red B, Van G etc. The 2016 model has 120mm suspension, relaxed 68.5 head tube angle; wide 29mm rims (plus 1x11 & SWAT box on carbon models).

I'll go out and test the Anthem SX and test the Camber again just to make sure I compare red apples with giant apples. Thanks for the feedback.

Camber is apparently EPIC (sigh, that name) with a 130mm fork on the front. Giant is also BRILLIANT with the 120mm fork.
Maximis Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Loving my 2016 Anthem x 29er. Already put a shorter stem on with wider bars. Put a 120mm fork on and wow, what a difference. I have ridden the camber too and it also felt great. Both bikes will get the job done!

worriesnot Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 What fork did you put on? so you haven't pulled the trigger yet?
Maximis Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 What fork did you put on?Suntour Epicon. After the bike i didnt have loads to spend... But wow, what an awesome fork
edgarblount Posted November 9, 2015 Author Posted November 9, 2015 ... Races I am doing next year:1. 36ONE2. TransBaviaans....I think we can all agree that the Camber and Anthem SX makes decent trail bikes. What about their marathon capabilities? As you can see I am doing 36ONE and TB next year. I am quite sure they will do just fine.
mtbride Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 so you haven't pulled the trigger yet? Not yet ... hunting for a bargain, which will never come haha. Let me warn you, I take months to buy stuff ... pedantic like anything.
