Giant introduce new Anthem, Trance, XtC and Fathom mountain bikes

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.

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.

Early April the 29er Alu Anthem 29ers hit SA (early) and then the Advanced ones shortly there-after.

Has anyone else noticed that all online sneakpeaks of the 2018 Anthem 2 29er have been removed. Removed from Bikehub & removed from my Giant LBS facebook page. Under strict instruction I ussume? Does anyone have some inside info?

Probably waiting for the official launch

 

In the meantime, the bikes are in shops and for sale.

R39 250 for the Anthem X2 (with very similar spec and R1000 more than the 2017 model)

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.
