This is the brand new 2022 Giant Anthem, their carbon fibre, twenty nine inch, 100mm XC race machine, and it marks a significant departure from their usual full suspension concept.
The new Anthem does away with its Maestro suspension set up, and instead picks up a linkage driven single pivot layout, with flex built into the rear triangle. Giant calls this design FlexPoint Pro.
It’s similar to designs found on many contemporary XC race bikes, such as the Specialized Epic and Cannondale Scalpel, as well as bikes lower down in Giant’s range, including the Stance.
Our Senior Technical Editor, Tom Marvin, has a size large Giant Anthem Advanced Pro 29 1 model in for testing, so keep an eye on BikeRadar.com for a review once he's been able to test it properly.
