Giant Anthem Advanced SL 1 Carbon Dual Suspension Mountain Bike 2026 targets elite cross country racing with a superlight carbon frame shaped by top level competition. Development alongside Giant pro Alan Hatherly supported his 2025 Elite Men’s XCO World Championship win, and every detail serves speed, control and efficiency.

FlexPoint Pro rear suspension provides 120mm of active travel and works with a 120mm fork to keep momentum on steep climbs and rough descents. A flip chip allows quick geometry adjustment to suit race courses and riding style. Giant WheelSystems with a 120 tooth helical ratchet deliver instant power transfer, while strong 5mm rim sidewalls resist impacts and punctures during hard efforts.

A lighter composite frameset cuts 89 grams compared with the previous generation and raises stiffness to weight for sharper acceleration. The semi integrated rear shock sits neatly within the top tube area, saving weight and creating room for a second bottle cage. An integrated handlebar and stem unit reduces vibration through added compliance, improving control and comfort over long laps. Clean internal cable routing completes a focused race machine built for riders who chase results.

Key Features:

- Advanced SL-Grade Composite Carbon Frame
- RockShox SID Select+120mm Fork
- RockShox SIDluxe Select+ Rear Shock
- SRAM GX Eagle T-Type AXS Drivetrain Components 
- Giant XCR Carbon Rims 
- Maxxis Aspen TR 29 x 2.4 Tyres

- Adjustable Geometry: Flip chip allows quick changes to suit course conditions and riding style, enhancing control and handling.
- Refined composite frame saves 89g and increases stiffness, providing sharper responses during sprints and technical sections.
