1. im newbie i want to buy fat bike i found a cheaper giant "rocker king 1" but i cant find any review about it have you hear about it?
2. i accept used bike trash bike 😊
3. Great video! I was looking at the specs of the Anthem in Giant Website and I could not figure out the recommended sizes for your height. The sizing chart suggest that someone like me with 5'5 will fit in the small size in some of the Anthems, but the same chart for other Anthems models tells you are too short even for the small one. I have seen the frame measures and is the same for all of the Anthem models. What do you think? Is it a printing error or has to do with the rim and tires size, which what I can tell are also alike. I am looking forward your comments. I wanted this bike to be an upgrade for my Specialized Rockhopper Comp.
4. I have giant, very nice to ride it.

6. Title should have said focus was gravel.....Where are the road bikes...Giant sells more road bikes than gravel...????
7. Just because they added a 120 fork to the Anthem doesn't mean they've lost any agility. They might have if they left the geometry the same as the older ones but if they were smart they would have changed the geometry to match that fork travel. I agree though it is still a pretty weird decision.
8. Hi Clint, thanks for all your videos. I am kinda new to MTB riding. I currently have a Giant Talon and am now interested in going to a full suspension bike. I see that the Trance 3 and Stance 1 are priced the same but equipped a bit differently. My local trails have a fair amount of tree roots, rocks, and tight corners along with some mild climbs and descents. Which bike do you think would be better for me?
9. You didnt do the atx 2017 :c or i missed it
10. Good video
11. what do you guys prefer? im choosing between
    Revel 1 2017 (29er) or
    Talon 2 2017 (27.5)
    
    both have same price but different specs
12. Hopefully my price range will be at the $2100 mark, and for that I can get either a trance 3 or a stance 1, I'm going to go with the trance because it's got more travel in the fork, as well as the maestro system and the overall geometry seems to be a bit more aggressive and to my liking. Is there anything important I'm missing? also idc about the dropper on the stance. Something I can always add later if I really feel I'm missing out.
    EDIT: actually I don't think I'm going for a Giant, looking at other slightly smaller companies you can get much better components for similar prices, the Commencal META AM V4 ORIGIN ROCKSHOX 650B YELLOW 2016 looks like an insane buy. Great specs and totally tubeless ready, dropper is only thing missing but that's always an upgrade for the future if need be.
13. Eyeing the 2017 anthem sx 1 as a potential new ride. Looking for a bike that's good on Rougher trails but can do Recreational racing with and is nimble and good for climbing. This seems to be the bike that will be good at all of these things. Anybody have any thoughts on this?
14. Great video, Clint! I have the 16 Anthem X 29er and my wife has the 16 Anthem 2. I'm looking for a bike for my 13 year old. At 5', he is too big, now, for 24" wheels so I'm trying hard to find a good MTB option for him around 700-ish. After looking at Trek, Specialized, GT, etc., I'm thinking about going w/ the 17 Giant Talon 2 in a small frame as I couldn't find a better value option. I would invest more if I knew he wouldn't outgrow it in a couple years. Giant continues to offer great quality, good value bikes... for the whole family.
15. Hey Clint!
    
    Saw the new TCX Advanced SX in a store recently. Very sharp!
    The store owner, who promotes and supports many local CX and gravel races, demoed it to me as a cross bike.
    
    I am new to gravel and cross and really respect your channel, but am confused. Is this a cross or gravel bike, or both?
16. Great video..curious if you have ever tested the rear shock "fee"? I am looking to go 27.5 for a while to have a more fun play bike and considering the Anthem Advanced 1. I am a true Trek biased rider because the full floater feels so good, but curious how the Giant rear suspension feels. I have heard most Giant FS feel like they fold in on themselves due to their design...just wondering your thoughts since you have been riding it for a while. Wife has last yrs new Niner RKT and I will say the rear shock feels great and gives the feel of more than 90mm. Thanks in advance for your comments.
17. Great video, like all your others very informative. I must say I completely agree regarding your comments about the anthem. I just bought a 2016 version of the 27.5 1 and it's my second anthem so far. For my xc riding I find the 100mm so perfect for pretty much everything I throw at it. I can't help but wonder if the new 2017 version with more travel will be a bit "stodgy" to ride in comparison.....
18. Watched your Cross Country VS. Trail Bike video about 4 months ago and have just felt "destined" to buy an Anthem ever since. Thanks so much for explaining the characteristics. It's really meant a lot. That being said, I'm totally excited to see "Boost" make it to the Anthem. With the 2017 release, it just seems like a great value/strength combination. But ah, not sure if they needed to go 120mm front suspension...? At least it's a 34mm and not a 32mm on the Anthem 2. It will be interesting to see what the bike weighs and whether or not the 120 is even necessary... Anyway, thanks for the 2017 model walk through. I may even be looking for a 2017 Stance, based on value and also the types of trails around Arizona. Might be a good fit if the 120 suspension feels loose on the Anthem?
19. I like that kind video. It's interesting to hear your thoughts. I ordered the Trance 1.5 LTD 2017 a month ago. Can't wait to get it and set it up.
