Giant Anthem Advanced SL 2
The Giant Anthem Advanced SL 2 is the full-suspension carbon XC mountain bike developed for modern cross-country racing and inspired by the platform that carried Alan Hatherly to the 2025 Elite XCO World Championship title. The completely redesigned frame is 89 grams lighter than the previous generation and improves the stiffness-to-weight ratio by 7.95%, offering maximum climbing efficiency and immediate power transfer. The semi-integrated rear shock in the top tube reduces overall weight and allows for the installation of a second bottle cage, making the Anthem Advanced SL perfect for XC and marathon racing.
FlexPoint Pro 120mm Suspension and Adjustable Geometry
At the heart of the Giant Anthem Advanced SL 2 is the 120mm FlexPoint Pro suspension system, paired with a 120mm fork, which delivers smooth, responsive handling on technical descents and challenging climbs. An integrated flip chip allows you to adjust the geometry to tailor the Anthem Advanced SL 2 to any cross-country course, improving stability and steering precision. Giant WheelSystems wheels with 120-tooth helical ratchet system ensure lightning-fast engagement and direct power transmission, while 5mm rim walls increase resistance to impacts and punctures.
Total Integration and Absolute Control
The Anthem SL is completed with an integrated monocoque cockpit (Contact SLR XC Integrated carbon or Contact SL XC Integrated alloy, depending on the build) with fully internal cable routing. This solution improves aerodynamics, comfort, and precision, reducing vibrations and increasing control during the most intense phases of the race. With a standard width of 780 mm and 50 to 90 mm stems, the Anthem Advanced SL 2 is a fast, modern, and race-ready carbon XC mountain bike.
