    Never ridden any of them but I think I would go with the Giant, everyone that I know that's had one really rate them. Good spec for the money too.

  • What weight do you reckon it is? Can't find anything on the net! 26lb?
    Thanks
  • Depends on size but seen it quoted as 11.6kg (25.9lb). Gets nothing but great reviews as far as I can see.

    No contest there, has to be the Giant Anthem. Far better frame & rear suspension than the other two. Giant don't quote weights for their bikes but my 2010 medium Trance X3 weighed just a touch under 28lb so I would guess 26lb - 27lb
  • Thanks guys will prob get that ordered tomorrow while they still have my size!
