GIANT U-TURN

In 2014 Giant removed virtually all 29ers from their line-up (some markets kept a single model), but it looks like big wheels are back in for 2018 on their top-tier cross-country bikes. On show at Sea Otter was a 90mm-travel, full-carbon Anthem 29er rumoured to weigh just 10kg (22lb). Details are scant at the moment, but we’re sure that this thing will be one fast XC bike and cost a pretty penny!
