2011 Giant Anthem X2

Hey Pinkbike! For sale is my 2011 Giant Anthem X2. I’ve kept this bike I good condition for a year now and it has served me well but it’s looking for a new home. The Anthem is one of the best bikes I’ve ever owned and is ideally designed for cross-country and all mountain riding however that’s not to say it won’t handle bigger stuff as well. The Fox air suspension provides a sturdy and well balanced platform for climbing while also providing the cushion needed for bigger rolls and drops. I’ve replaced the original rear derailleur with a XT shadow+ making shifting effortless and the clutch will prevent chain slap and hold the chain in place while riding. An XT front derailleur handles things in front. Avid Elixer R front and rear brakes makes slowing down easy and stopping even easier. I’ve paired an Onza ibex 2.5 (front tire) with a Maxxis minion DHR (rear tire) for endless amounts of traction even on wet days. And the Giant Contact riser seat post makes moving from climbing height to descending height easy. All told the bike comes in at a mean 22 pounds shredding machine.

Specs are as follows:

• Fox 32 series fork
• Fox float RP2 rear shock
• Deore XT drive train
• Deore XT shifters
• Avid Elixer R front and rear brakes
• Giant front hub
• DT Swiss OL3 rear hub
• Giant Contact riser seat post

This is an excellent bike and the definition of all mountain gets redefined for me whenever I ride it. With that said, feel free to contact me with any additional questions or if you’d like to come see the bike in person. I will consider all reasonable offers.

Malcolm.
