My New 2022 Giant Anthem Pro 3 29er - My Initial Thoughts on this XC Racing Machine

My New 2022 Giant Anthem Pro 3 29er - My Initial Thoughts on this XC Racing Machine My initial thoughts on getting my brand new Giant XC race bike. I like the bike, it handles great, goes down great, but I really don't understand making it so heavy out of the box for racing XC. It's OK to be disappointed in your favorite bike brand, and there are ways to make it work. For now, I leave you with my first impressions. ==================================================================== Getting Started in MTB - Your First 90 Days $10 value, available for free: https://urbikelife.com/cyclingproducts/ Get a Coach for better performance, affordable options for everyone: https://bikelifewithrob.com/mountain-...
