Giant Anthem Advanced SL frame Electrical Storm

Description

Anthem Advanced SL-frameS Electrical Storm is a full-suspension XC race MTB built around a frame with modern kinematics and 120 mm of travel. It targets experienced riders who demand efficiency on climbs as well as stability on fast descents. It’s a high-performance frameset foundation for building a no-compromise XC race bike on 29" wheels.

Frame and geometry

The frame is made from Advanced SL Composite carbon composite and uses Continuous Fiber Technology for high strength at low weight. The rear end uses the FlexPoint Pro system with a semi-integrated shock mount beneath the top tube. Geometry can be adjusted via flip chip inserts in two positions to suit the terrain and riding style. The frame features internal routing and a 12x148 mm thru-axle rear end, which supports overall stiffness. It’s available in size M and fits tires up to 2.4" wide.

Components

Drivetrain: The frame is set up for a 1x drivetrain with an MRP 1x CS guide and a maximum of 34 teeth. The bottom bracket is threaded BSA.

Brakes: The frame supports disc brake installation with internal hose routing. The specific brake model and rotor diameter depend on the chosen build.

Wheels and tires: The platform is designed for 29" wheels and tires up to 2.4" wide. Rim, hub, and tread selection depends on the intended use.

Cockpit: It uses the Giant Integrated XC integrated carbon combo with a width of 780 mm. The Giant Integrated XC Carbon stem in size M is 70 mm long.

Ride characteristics

The Advanced SL Composite construction focuses on high torsional stiffness, so the bike responds quickly to changes in pace when pedaling seated or out of the saddle. FlexPoint Pro paired with the RockShox SidLuxe Ultimate shock delivers sensitivity over small bumps while maintaining support under acceleration. The 120 mm travel broadens its range for technical XC courses and longer, faster descents. Switching the flip chip changes the handling character between a more lively feel and calmer stability.

Who it’s for

The Anthem Advanced SL frame is intended for racing and performance-focused XC riders who build their bike around their own priorities. It’s well suited to XCO and XCC-style courses, where short climbs, technical sections, and fast descents alternate. Compared with more conservative XC frames with less travel, it offers a bigger margin in rough terrain.
