Description
Pro Level Cross Country Efficiency and Speed
The elite Giant Anthem Advanced Pro 2 2022 delivers podium-hunting velocity directly into your competitive cross-country racing pursuits. For a long time, traditional full-suspension designs added unnecessary weight that compromised vital climbing performance. However, this pro-level race machine rewrites that narrative entirely. Giant builds the new Advanced carbon frame and rear triangle to be a massive 250 grams lighter than the previous generation. Consequently, marathon racers and aggressive singletrack riders can power up steep inclines with maximum forward momentum and zero wasted energy.
Advanced Composite Architecture and Stiffer Power Transfer
Excessive frame flex during an out-of-the-saddle sprint can easily ruin your momentum and waste precious watts. Therefore, Giant engineers this chassis with enhanced stiffness through the bottom bracket area to guarantee instantaneous acceleration the moment you stamp on the pedals. Additionally, a steeper seat tube angle successfully shifts your weight forward into an exceptionally efficient climbing posture. Meanwhile, the longer reach and a redesigned cockpit stabilize your positioning, which allows you to maintain total power transfer over erratic and uneven terrain.
