It's the 2015 Anthem SX. a version with 120mm up front. It came stock with a float and I swapped it out for the SID. Also changed the rear rocker from the stock blue to the blacked out 1

That stems only 100 but I agree. I might go with something beefier to take away from the length

nice... that why it looked that slack for a anthem... must be fun to ride... one of my friend got a anthem but found that the head angle is too steep but the bike is realy light and fast... it doesnt help that i ride a trance

look like its a perfect combo there, slack/light/fast

Here is mine again, after some upgrades. Float X is a killer.

it climbs really well with the climb switch on. I believe its just about 29 pounds so its pretty light for a reign

Watched one of your videos a little tip ditch the clips and get a descent set of flat pedals with 510's. Will help out the learning curve you would be surprised how well flats and 510's stick together. Looks like some fun places to ride though.

I like the clips for faster and slightly less technical stuff but where rocks are still present because my feet don't bounce of the pedals. Clips also help with pedal efficiency which is nice to have on long climbs or steep climbs. But flats would be an advantage on steeper and gnarlier stuff and those kind of trails are plentiful where I live.

You would be surprised at how well a good set of flats and 510's stay planted. I have yet to bounce off my pedals on rocky fast sections. Having ridden both the pedal efficiency is not big enough improvement for it to outweigh the advantages I get from flats. To each their own just my experience over the years
