Giant Anthem Advanced SL Frame Bike

The Giant Anthem Advanced SL Frame is the starting point for your dream XC build.

This is a frameset, the Advanced SL carbon frame and rear shock, ready for you to build exactly the way you want. It's for the experienced rider or racer who has parts in mind and wants Giant's lightest cross-country chassis underneath them for fast Valley trail days and weekend races in the Santa Monica Mountains.

It's right for you if:

• You're a racer or home wrench who wants a custom XC build, not an off-the-rack spec.

• You already own a groupset, wheels, or cockpit you want to carry over.

• You want the lightest Anthem chassis as the foundation of your bike.

Why you'll love it:

• The Advanced SL full-carbon front and rear triangle keeps your finished build featherweight.

• Efficient Maestro suspension rewards every pedal stroke on the climbs.

• Race-proven XC geometry gives you a fast, confident handling base.

• Full build freedom lets you spec the drivetrain, wheels, and cockpit you actually want.

The tech you get: an Advanced SL full-carbon frame with carbon Maestro rear end and rear shock, short-travel XC suspension design, and 29-inch wheel compatibility. Complete-build components are not included.

Highlights

Custom XC Carbon Layup

The Anthem Advanced frameset uses Giant's High Performance Grade raw carbon, built for a high stiffness-to-weight ratio. You get a race platform that snaps forward when you put down power and holds its line through fast corners.

FlexPoint Pro Suspension

The linkage-driven single-pivot design delivers 100mm of active rear travel with a full-composite swingarm. It stays supple over chatter while pedaling efficiently, which is exactly what a cross-country course demands.

Modified Monocoque Construction

Giant molds the frame with its own construction process to keep weight low and strength high. Less bike to haul uphill, more frame to trust when the trail gets rough.

Built to Your Spec

As a frameset, this is the starting point for a custom XC build. It clears tires up to 2.4 inches and runs a chainring up to 34t, so you can dial the setup to your terrain and your legs. Bring it to Brian and we'll build it right.
