The controller/telemetry box wired to the suspension and sensors for Fox's Live Wire system. This can be setup and dialled via a Bluetooth on a dedicated smartphone app. Edited November 19, 2021 by Danger Dassie TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted November 19, 2021 Share 2 hours ago, dseenya said: Giant are off-trend, still no "down country" version. where's the 110mm rear & 120mm front version? Given them a chance. This is their race specific model, they have a tendency to bring out their "X" models that are a little more gravity orientated compared to the model it is based on. So I say look out for a Anthem X in the not too distant future with more "down country" spec. dseenya and DieselnDust 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love my XTC and the Anthem that I just sold but sadly, there's no value for money anymore. Best value for money these days is to just ride the bike you already have.

TheoG Posted November 19, 2021 Share Just now, Hairy said: Best value for money these days is to just ride the bike you already have. Yip, agree, unfortunately. Would love to get my hands on a newer RM frame, but they are "chicken teeth" at a premium price ... ????. Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Dassie Posted November 19, 2021 Share The Giant Trance 29 with 130f/115r is as downcountry as they come. What are people talking about? stefmeister, Giba Nut, dseenya and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely ya, haven't checked the latest pricing because I don't feel a need for it. And sometimes ignorance is bliss! TheoG and dseenya 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffsVintageBikes Posted November 19, 2021 Share Has anyone tried to buy a Medium dual-susp MTB recently? No one has stock of anything, not only Giant. I tried for a Trance E 29er recently, stock only arriving in January... hopefully. Danger Dassie, ChrisF and DieselnDust 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted November 19, 2021 Share 4 hours ago, dseenya said: It's not on the ZA giant website, maybe its coming? no stock, thats the problem. Making matters worse, China is experiencing loadshedding, in fact its throughout Asia and even GB and the EU, parts of the USA. Energy is a global problem right now. Energy shortage = a shortage of raw materials... Its going to be at least another year before the world normalises. Its worse for SA because we have a dithering government that can't make decisions ChrisF and dseenya 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger Dassie Posted November 19, 2021 Share Interestingly the Imbuko/Giant team standardised their power meters with Power2Max throughout the team. Wonder if they correlate any of the power data with that from the Live Wire suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
