Giant releases the new Giant Anthem 29er since its first appearance about two years ago, and this bike will be Giant's lineups for 2013; but better for you to know about the impression of this new bike, and this is about ride test the Giant Anthem X 29er 4. Regarded as full suspension cross country bike, this bike has been one of the favorite of the full suspension cross country bike from Giant. And if you are the rider that prefer to the trail and cross country track, this bike is already for you; and another important information, this bike has been priced about $1925, such an affordable price for high quality bike.
ALUXX-SL still be used for the material in the frame in Giant Anthem X 29er 4, and it has Maestro Suspension, a suspension from Giant; and this bike have one for the rear suspension. The addition of number "4" is not a model, but this is like a name for this bike because this is the entry level of the Anthem family. Entry level? Yep, but you don't have to worry because this bike has been equipped with high specification to support to release its best performance. Such as the usage of Shimano Deore 3x10 as the drivetrain, and for the maximum grip in any surface, this bike use Schwalbe Racing Ralph 2.25.
As the cross country bike, the Giant Anthem X 29er 4 has good power to climb, and thank for the Rockshox Recon Silver TK. The rear suspension, Maestro Suspension from the same manufacturer also offers the good impression in the uphill. But better be careful when you want to try technical riding or extreme riding; this may the impact of the fork and wheelset quality. And also be careful in the down way, because this bike is just in average as cross country bike, but the Maestro saves all; this suspension done well in this bike. Overall, this is good bike with good price, but if you want to do some upgrades, maybe wheelset and front fork need to be considered, if you want more technical riding. Just for advice, put the upgrading step by step, and improve your riding skills first before you upgrades, if so, this Giant Anthem X 29er 4 will be great machine for you.
