iv seen a couple of deals on last years anthems (29er) and tempted as a replacement for my hard tail.
Im just over 6'2 so think i need an XL
is an xl anthem 20" or bigger?
Seen the anthem 2 for sale down from 1700 to 999 and is advertised as 20" but I'm not sure that is the xl or not?
had a quick run on a large at is was to small but unsure if the anthem large is 18" or 20"??
I'm pretty sure the large is 20" and the medium 18" inch with Giants.
yeah its looking like it 🙁
only 999 ones are all 20" so out of luck
You should be fine on a 20", I'm 5.11 and used to ride a medium 18"
Go throw your leg over one or try one
I am running a large at 6'2" and feels good.
I have 34" inside leg.
I believe there were a few on Ebay last week including a Warranty replacement.These were all XL.
I do ride an XL in a XTC 29 as these have always felt short in the seattube.
Yeah large is 20" and XL is more like 21".
Thanx,
Max
I have a 650b frame at 18" medium and at 5'8" thought it was going to be on the large size, but actually spot on more like a 16/17", if your 6'2" then I'd defiantly say a 20" XL
had a quick spin on a large 650b and it felt tiny which made me think it was only 18"
my rune is xl 20" and is fine..
I'm about the same height as the OP (with long legs) and have a L Anthem (26er) which is bang on (for me) size wise.
I'm 1/2 an inch shorter than OP. have an anthem x29 1 in large. It's a good size. Have even shortened stem...
Found Giants sizing chart and I'm bang in the middle of large 29er anthem!!!
The large I tried was 650b but really felt small....
Going up to an Xc race tomorrow..... Bound to be a few anthems around for me to have a nosey at.... If I get away with a large I'll go for one of those at £999
I'm 6' with a 31" inside leg, and ride a medium with straight post and an 80 stem (it came with a 90 stem and a 20mm layback post). Do some measuring of your old bike, as against the TT for the Anthem, then factor in the stem length needed.
They are very nice bikes...bit low to the ground if you are doing rockeries though!
650B models I believe have a shorter top tube than 29ers so will feel different.
Try the 29er in large to check tho 🙂
Bit smaller than you at 6'1", & the large fits me perfect...
went with an xl 29.... may need a slightly shorter stem but other than that all good 🙂
I've got a large anthem, I'm about to put into the classifieds in the next few days.
I just got mine (off ebay last week... !)
I'm 6-3/ 33 inside leg and the XL fits me well with a longer stem.
It came with two stems so email me if you want the shorter one.
(Giant branded)
Cheers Ben... Will do, mine should be with me towards the end of the week so I'll see how it feels after a good spin
