Giant say: "XC RACE, MARATHON OR ALL-DAY EPIC. FOR THOSE WHO DO IT ALL AND WANT TO DO IT FASTER , THIS NEW 27.5 MACHINE IS THE ANSWER. What do you get when you combine the quickness and agility of the Anthem platform with the added handling and stability of 27.5-inch wheels? You get this, the next evolution of XC performance. It features a lightweight ALUXX SL fullsuspension alloy frame and award-winning Maestro Suspension—meticulously engineered to optimise this new wheel size. The frame features Giant’s OverDrive 2 steerer tube for razor-sharp handling, plus a PowerCore bottom bracket for maximum pedalling stiffness and power transfer."
