THIS LIVELY TRAIL BIKE IS A PARTY ON WHEELS
This Full-Suspension Bike Was Built with the Modern XC in Mind. This Full-Carbon Bike Will Help You Attack Steep Singletrack Climbs and Tackle Technical Descents with Full Speed and Control. With Flexpoint Pro Suspension and a Race-Oriented Geometry, The Anthem Advanced 29 Will Help You Get to the Front of the Pack.
Key Performance Factors
Ultra-efficient
Advanced composite frameset is 241g lighter than previous generation. The bottom bracket area is stiffer for faster acceleration, and a steeper seat tube puts the rider in an efficient climbing position.
Superior Control
FlexPoint Pro suspension delivers 100mm of smooth, active rear travel. The frameset features modern XC geometry including a slacker 67.5-degree head tube and 110mm suspension fork for technical descents.
29er Stability & Speed
Frame geometry and suspension are optimized for fast and stable 29-inch wheels. A longer reach and modified cockpit including a 35mm composite handlebar and alloy stem further boost balance and stability on XC terrain.
