Anthem X. There's nowt else like it.
Mine's down at 23lbs and I've only got carbon bars.
Officially it's my race bike but I think I've used it more this summer than my other bikes and I only raced once...
Anthem frame sounds good - Is it the same frame across the range ?? I.E. if I picked up a used X4 on e-bay , is that the same frame as on a X1 ?? ,
Coz if it is thats a good platform to start upgrading.
Same frame from X1 to X4 - just the shock that differs. I bought a nearly new X4 back in March and switched my XT stuff onto it and my Stans Olympic wheelset. Managed to pick up a bargain Fox Float RPL to replace the Float R shock and that completed the bike for me.
It's a superb bike which seems capable at most things XC and trail.
I've 6" FS bike which never gets used as the Anthem X is just so good.
A friend of mine has an Anthem Advanced SL 0, and he says that's a brilliant trail bike, but not the best thing he's raced, so even the standard Anthem has to be worth a look.
i say go for a hard tail .Ive got a intense 5.5 and love that for rough stuff but way too much travel for singletrack etc.I bought a carbon trek 9.7 and thats great and fast as hell on that kind of stuff.Right going to get my gear on and ride upto Gisburn forest cya!
The perfect singlrtrack rocket = cotic soul
Close, but no cigar. The pefect singletrack rocket = Cotic So[u]da[/u]
