    My, not very experienced, view is if you’re over 6″ you don’t feel as secure on a 26″ as you do on a 29″……. that’s my personal view only but I had loads of OTB’s and front wheel snatches on my 26″ ……..I still felt like I was hanging over the front end on the Anthem 29er ( great bike by the way soooo light and racy) but I just feel so much more confident on the Trance 29…….total do it all

    I need to know if I’m a large or XL. Think at 6ft 4 Ide be better with XL.

    You’ll need an XL in my opinion.I’m 6’1″ & ride a large Anthem & also have a 26″ wheeled Trance in large too.

    Yep XL for sure. I had a large Anthem at 5’11, or 5’10 if I’ve been standing up all day 🙂

    I’m 5’10.5 and I test rode mediums and bought a medium, sat on a large, much too big, I have long legs, short body so didn’t want silly long top tube (medium Trance/Anthem same as my medium 456 and Fargo)

    I have a trance X29er in medium, I’m 5’10” too. The large felt far too big despite my previous bikes being large 26″ stumpjumpers. Advise you at least sit on a L and XL to see how they feel.

    Trance is ace, fast fun and jumpy.

    well I would like to reply to “rickon” who thinks my rear end will be stuck up in the air more and my front end lent over more on a trance than an anthem? is this true ?
    I will find out Saturday at rutland cycle but im curious because I prefer to be more upright!!

    I have an Anthem X2, £1199 at Pedal On for 2013 at the moment which is a great deal allowing plenty for upgrades etc. Think only got Large left though.

    I have an anthem in 26 inch flavour. Great bike on everything but steep technical stuff, in which case I wouldn’t fancy it that much.

    If the 29r version is an even faster version then it’ll be a great bike.

    Thought Ide let you all know that I’ve just tested Anthem X 1 29Er and I love it. Very nippy and well made. Trance needs to be off road all the time so Anthem it is 😆

    Best prices please if anyone knows of a good deal. £1999 the best I can find.
