I always said I would never spend that kind of money on a bike... but damed excited now 😀 ... I think thats a good price from Pauls Cycles and a well specced bike

Giant are perceived on here a bit like Spesh and Trek....mainstream, safe and a bit boring
...but I agree with you, my Trance is silly good, so much so that I've sold the DH bike as it was actually easier to ride uplift days on my Trance than my YT Tues (the bike incidentally that won the DH world cup series yesterday!)....the way Giant can make aluminum frames so light is impressive too, the ride and pedaling quality from their Meastro (DW rip-off) suspension is excellent.
Enjoy..

I had the Sx version of that, was a great bike. I had been away from FS for a couple of years since selling a 5, and was riding everything on my Soul. The Anthem reinvigorated my love of bouncy back ends 😀

Sold it in January and replaced with the new version which is lower and longer.

Great bikes.

Wow looks lush I loved the anthem when I rode it on a demo day. That's a good price too!

Specialized, Trek, Giant - all make great bikes. Bike snobbery is ridiculous.

Glad you are enjoying your new bike OP!
