Perhaps the biggest story is in Giant’s refinement of its Maestro suspension system that is found on the new Anthem and Trance bikes. Head angle is at a relatively slack (for XC) 68-degrees. The top tube reach extends by 10mm, while the rear end is now 5mm shorter thanks to new Boost axle spacing (148 x 12mm). Rear suspension travel has been bumped up to 110mm, while a longer 120mm fork sits up front.
