Giant Anthem Advanced SL SE Stormfire Sprint

This superlight XC flyer.

A proven winner with World Championship and World Cup wins to its name, is engineered with a semi-integrated 120mm FlexPoint Pro rear suspension system and adjustable geometry for any XC terrain.

With an all-new CADEX Max XC WheelSystem and limited-edition, race-inspired graphics across the frame, fork and shock, it’s pure inspiration for your podium pursuits.

Key Performance Factors

• TOTAL CONTROL: The new FlexPoint Pro suspension delivers 120mm of smooth, active rear travel paired with a 120mm fork, helping you fly down rough descents and power up technical climbs. A flip chip lets you fine-tune handling for all types of XC terrain. The superlight CADEX Max XC WheelSystem with Wide Guard rim technology and robust 5mm-thick sidewalls allows lower tyre pressures for greater control and puncture protection.
• LOW-LATENCY SPEED CONCEPT: A fully reengineered composite frameset is 89g lighter with an 8.64% percent greater stiffness-to-weight ratio to help you power up climbs and make every watt count. The WheelSystem and integrated handlebar/stem unit is designed for maximum efficiency and instantaneous response to rider input. The rear shock is repositioned and semi-integrated with the top tube, shaving weight and creating space for a second water bottle cage.
• SYSTEM INTEGRATION: The Contact SLR XC integrated composite handlebar/stem unit adds compliance to reduce shocks and vibrations, giving you better control and hand comfort. Its geometry is optimised for XC racing with a -8° stem angle, 9° back-sweep, and 2° up-sweep. It features clean cable routing and versatile sizing with multiple stem length options ranging from 60-80mm.

TECHNOLOGY

• ADVANCED SL COMPOSITE: Professional-grade raw carbon is woven in the Giant composite factory using the most advanced engineering and construction methods. Continuous Fibre Technology adds strength and minimises weight.
• CADEX MAX XC WHEELSYSTEM: One-piece hookless carbon rims deliver race-ready stiffness and efficiency balanced with smooth compliance. Wide Guard rim technology with 5mm wide rounded outer edges helps reduce the risk of rim damage and punctures. And a 120-tooth helical-bevel ratchet hub gives you instant power transfer and smooth engagement.
• FLEXPOINT PRO SUSPENSION: Developed as superlight rear suspension for XC bikes that demand efficiency, control and responsive handling, this 120mm, linkage-driven, single-pivot system is semi-integrated and attached beneath the top tube with a full-composite swingarm to minimise frame weight.
• ADVANCED FORGED COMPOSITE: A high-pressure moulding process is used to produce a complex-shaped carbon-fibre upper rocker arm that is lighter, stiffer and stronger than an aluminium version.
• ADJUSTABLE GEOMETRY: A two-position flip chip lets you adjust frame geometry and fine-tune the handling for your riding style and terrain. The High setting locks in a steeper head and seat tube angle, along with a higher bottom bracket, for sharp, aggressive handling on tight, technical terrain. The Low setting reduces the head and seat tube angles and lowers the bottom bracket, offering slightly more relaxed handling and greater control for high-speed descents.
• TWO BOTTLES: New frame design provides space for a second water bottle. Integrated mounts on the seat tube allow you to carry more hydration without having to wear a pack—a major upgrade for marathon races or longer XC rides.
• OVERDRIVE: Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings (1 1/2" lower and 1 1/8" upper) and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness.
• MEGADRIVE: A massive down tube and oversized top tube provide superior front-end lateral and torsional stiffness. The precisely engineered, rectangular shaped down tube yields unprecedented steering precision and pedalling performance.
• POWERCORE: A massively oversized bottom bracket area features a fully integrated, 92mm wide design. Asymmetric chainstays provide additional stiffness on the driveside and increased stability on the non-driveside.
