Giant say: "READY TO LEAVE THE COMPETITION IN THE DUST? THIS NEW 27.5 ROCKETSHIP IS THE CHOICE OF GIANT PROS FOR TECHNICAL XC TERRAIN. Engineered to give Giant’s elite-level racers every advantage on technical XC racecourses, this all-new bike features the race-proven performance of the Anthem name—smooth Maestro Suspension, confident handling and lightweight frame technology—but supercharged with a new purpose-built 27.5-inch-wheel frame design. Handcrafted with a superlight and stiff Advanced Composite mainframe and meticulously engineered geometry, optimised for a 100mm suspension fork, it’s the ultimate XC speed machine. Frame technologies include Giant’s OverDrive 2 steerer tube for precision stiffness and steering, internal cable routing and dropper seat cable routing."

Technologies

 1 OverDrive 2
Designed to offer unprecedented front-end steering performance, the system’s
oversized headset bearings (1 1/2” lower, 1 1/4” upper) and tapered steerer tube work
in harmony to provide supreme steering stiffness.
2 PowerCore
A massively oversized bottom-bracket/chainstay area features a fully integrated,
92-millimetre-wide bottom-bracket design.
3 MegaDrive
The precisely engineered, rectangular shaped downtube yields unprecedented
steering and pedalling stiffness.
4 Maestro Suspension System
Utilises four strategically positioned pivot points and two linkages that all work
together to create a single floating pivot point for the most active, efficient and
independent system on the trail.
5 27.5-Specific Geometry
XC frame geometry tailored for 27.5-inch wheel size Maestro suspension bike to
optimise control, acceleration and stability
6 Internal Cable Routing
Frame features unique internal cable routing for sleek, uncluttered appearance and
performance.
7 142/135mm Convertible Rear Thru-Axle Design
142/135mm convertible rear dropouts let riders choose which format works best for
their needs.


Pedal On Say: "Giant's Anthem is probably the best cross country mountain bike ever made. Light and tight enough to race, capabale enough for challenging trails. What Mountain Bike described the Anthem as their 'favourite fast trail bike' which sums up the Anthem perfectly. Precise handling and the brilliant Maestro suspension platform make this bike fun, capable and perfectly suited to the varied riding that UK MTB riders do. 2014 sees the arrival of 27.5 (650b) wheels to the Anthem platform combining the light weight and fast handling of a small wheel with the traction and stability of a large wheel. If you ride XC then you must consider an Anthem.
