Giant Anthem X Advanced SL 3 Bike
The Giant Anthem X Advanced SL 3 blends XC speed with trail-ready composure.
The Anthem X Advanced SL 3 is a full-carbon cross-country and trail bike for riders who want to climb fast and still charge the descents. It's efficient where you need it and confident when the trail gets rough, a natural fit for mixed days across the foothills and singletrack above the Valley.
It's right for you if:
You want one fast bike for both racing and all-around trail riding.
You value efficient climbing but refuse to give up on the descents.
You're upgrading from an alloy trail bike to a lighter carbon platform.
Why you'll love it:
The Advanced SL carbon frame keeps weight low, so climbing feels quick.
Maestro suspension stays active over roots and rocks while pedaling efficiently.
Balanced trail-XC geometry keeps you fast up and composed down.
A capable, versatile build handles everything from race laps to weekend rides.
The tech you get: an Advanced SL carbon frame, Maestro rear suspension, a wide-range drivetrain, and hydraulic disc brakes for confident stopping in any conditions.

Highlights
Advanced SL Composite Frame
The lightest composite grade Giant makes, now in a frame that blurs the line between XC speed and trail capability. Fast on the climbs, composed when the trail gets rough.
120mm Rear / 130mm Front Suspension
FlexPoint Pro rear suspension with a Fox Float SL shock paired with a Fox 34 Rhythm fork. More travel than a pure XC bike for confidence on technical descents without sacrificing pedaling efficiency.
Flip Chip Geometry Adjustment
Switch between a steeper XC setup for tight courses and a slacker, more stable position for rougher terrain. One bike, two personalities.
Shimano Deore 1x12 Drivetrain
Proven reliability with a wide 10-51 gear range. Handles steep Valley climbs and fast descents without missing a beat.
