MOUNTAIN BIKE NAMES GIANT ANTHEM X1 BIKE OF THE YEAR!

The rave reviews just won’t stop. The UK’s top MTB magazine has given it’s Bike of the Year award to the Giant Anthem X1. In a breathtaking six-page article (AND a magnificent cover photo!) What Mountain Bike in its July 2009 issue has put the Anthem X1 at the top of a list after head-to-head testing against more than 100 other bicycles. “It’s one of those bikes you can just hand to people and then stand back and wait for the fireworks to kick off; a bike with an insatiable lust for velocity that turns even the most idle gear twiddler into a speed crazed, crank stomping maniac.” There’s so much more, we don’t know where to go next, so we’ll just finish with this: “…its Maestro suspension and spot-on handling balance will happily tear a ragged ‘wait for them while the dust settles’ hole in the ego of most longer-travel trail bikes.”
