Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 24, 2017 Share Hmmm, how reliable is your source? They were either talking out their arse or Giant are running late. My guess is that they'll just save it for their 2018 range, most likely announced in September/October. Sent from my E5823 using TapatalkNo, he was right. Launch has reportedly been put back to June / July. Christofison 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monark Posted March 24, 2017 Share The new Anthem 29's delayed released caused me to jump ship to a Yeti ASR... Prior to this I only ever rode Anthems and loved them. The Yeti is a cool bike but not nearly as efficient as an Anthem. The Anthem does everything so well. I hope that Giant get the new 29er Anthem right and follow the latest trends.

splat Posted April 25, 2017 Share https://www.pinkbike.com/news/giants-new-dh-shoes-and-the-rebirth-of-the-anthem-29-sea-otter-2017.html Carl Decker showed up ready to race at the Sea Otter Classic aboard an early version of the carbon bike. The final details are still being kept under wraps, but Giant did say that the bike has 90mm of rear travel and a 100mm up front, and a full carbon frame. Full details about the Anthem should be announced in June, with availability beginning sometime in the fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
