Hi guys.

only got 100mm travel at the moment. would like a little bit more, eg 140. any one suggest any forks that would fit?

budget about £400, non tapered. Thanks :)

    I think the idea of the anthem is a lighter smaller low travel xc machine, 120mm is probably your limit.Any more than that I would sujest a different frame.

    Why do you think by having more travel it instantly means its an upgrade? :roll:

    You've got the wrong bike if you want more travel, its not designed for that much, I'd speak to Giant to see what the max its warranted for.

    Why would you like to do that? A 140mm fork is too much IMO...

    120mm is the limit on a anthem if you wanna go bigger than that i would change bikes, how come you wanna change to a bigger fork?

    Upgrading to a better quality 100mm/120mm fork will be worth while. A nice set of high end Rockshox Reba's will help improve the ride
