Hills, rocks, roots—trail obstacles are all simply easier on Giant's Anthem X 29er 4. It features a RockShox Monarch rear shock with 100mm of Giant's renowned Maestro suspension technology that provides awesome traction and unreal descending capabilities without robbing you of any pedaling power. For your fork, you've got a RockShox Recon to guide you safely through the rough sections. Shimano's Deore group gives you 30 speeds, so any hill is easily within your grasp and you have powerful Shimano disc brakes to keep your speed in check. And you'll love the light Giant wheels and Giant Connect controls.
Giant’s OverDrive 2 delivers up to 30%-better cornering and sprinting stiffness and control than non-tapered front ends with:
1/2) 1 ¼-inch/1 ½-inch diameter bearings
3) 1 ¼-inch diameter Giant stem
4) Tapered fork steerer
5) Giant OverDrive steerer plug

Comments:
I recently sold my beloved, American--built, LX build, GT Ricochet. It was a beautiful bike that served me well along the trails of the Wasatch Mountains for 15+ years. I scoured the local classifieds looking for a modern upgrade. I hoped for a hardtail 29er with a decent shock and at least a Deore build. I owned a Diamondback Ascent wayyyy back in the day, and happened upon an online deal on an Overdrive Pro with a SLX, Deore, XT build and a Fox fork. I almost pulled the trigger. However, it was a heavy bike and I thought I'd better research all online inventory at the local bike shops to be sure I wasn't missing a deal. Plus, I wanted a correct fit. I was a little nervous to buy a bike online, set it up, only to find it's a little too big or small. At 5' 10 1/2" I land between a Med & Large. I wanted to be sure of a great fit. Also, although I'm really handy w bikes, I wasn't stoked to be required to set up a new "online" bike or fix-up a used one. I am so glad I held out and happened upon the 2013 Giant Anthem X 29er 4!!! A local shop had several in stock and were blowing them out. These were "new -old-stock." (I purchased new in April 2016!). I got wayyy more than I bargained for: Deore, a nice Recon fork, PLUS Maestro/ Monarch full suspension, Schwalbe Racing Ralph's, a great Giant 29er wheel set, not to mention a beautiful black/eggshell blue paint job. (All pics I can find look more sky blue but in person the blue is much more of a subdued "cornflower/eggshell blue.). When I found this bike online I researched all online reviews I could find. Pros and average Joes raved about it' great value, and performance way beyond it's price. They touted it's climbing and XC abilities, as well as it's nimble-for-a29er trail manners. After a couple of weeks on this awesome machine, I'm an absolute fan too!!! This bike rocks!!! I am instructed in this review not to mention ANY names of retailers, so I won't. I will say if you are looking for one of Giant's last 29ers ( they've gone almost exclusively 27.5 now) I wish you luck! There are a few of these left at a nice shop south of SLC.
