GIANT ANTHEM ADVANCED SL 3
Modern racecourses demand the very best from both rider and bike—and the Anthem Advanced SL responds. We meld state-of-the-art engineering, radical design, and cutting-edge manufacturing techniques to create an XC bike that is a pure extension of the rider. Every component and every technology is designed to help you get to the finish line first.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
- TOTAL CONTROL: The new FlexPoint Pro suspension delivers 120mm of smooth, active rear travel paired with a 120mm fork—helping you fly down rough descents and power up technical climbs. A flip chip lets you fine tune handling for all types of XC terrain. Superlight composite or alloy Giant WheelSystems (depending on model) with a next-generation 120-tooth helical ratchet drive system for immediate power and robust 5mm rim sidewalls for greater protection against impacts and punctures.
- LOW-LATENCY SPEED CONCEPT: A fully reengineered composite frameset is 89 grams lighter than its predecessor, with 7.95 percent greater stiffness-to-weight ratio (efficiency) to help you power up climbs and make every watt count. The WheelSystems and integrated handlebar/stem units are designed for maximum efficiency and instantaneous response to rider input. The rear shock is repositioned and semi-integrated with the top tube, shaving weight and creating space for a second water bottle cage.
- SYSTEM INTEGRATION: A new one-piece integrated handlebar/stem unit adds compliance to reduce shocks and vibrations, improving control and hand comfort. It’s available in two models—the Contact SLR XC Integrated composite and Contact SL XC Integrated alloy. Both feature the same seamless cable routing and versatile sizing with a 780mm standard width and stem lengths ranging from 50-90mm.

WEIGHT: THE MOST ACCURATE WAY TO DETERMINE ANY BIKE’S WEIGHT IS TO HAVE YOUR LOCAL DEALER WEIGH IT FOR YOU. MANY BRANDS STRIVE TO LIST THE LOWEST POSSIBLE WEIGHT, BUT IN REALITY WEIGHT CAN VARY BASED ON SIZE, FINISH, HARDWARE AND ACCESSORIES. ALL OUR BIKES ARE DESIGNED FOR BEST-IN-CLASS WEIGHT AND RIDE QUALITY.
