ANTHEM ADVANCED SL 1

World-Cup-Level XC Speed with Precision Control

Modern XC courses demand maximum efficiency, agility, and control. Anthem Advanced SL 1 delivers with an ultra-light Advanced SL composite frameset, 120mm FlexPoint Pro suspension, and fully integrated cockpit design. From explosive climbs to technical descents, it converts every watt into forward drive while keeping you composed and in control.

DISCOVER

EXTREME CONTROL

The FlexPoint Pro rear suspension delivers 120mm of smooth, responsive travel, perfectly matched to a 120mm RockShox SID Select+ fork. Combined with a flip-chip geometry adjustment system, Anthem Advanced SL 1 can be precisely tuned for any XC course—balancing sharp climbing agility with confident stability on rough, technical descents.

INSTANT ACCELERATION

An all-new Advanced SL composite frameset is 89 grams lighter than the previous generation and offers a 7.95% higher stiffness-to-weight ratio. Paired with a carbon wheel system using a 120‑tooth ratchet hub for ultra-fast 3° engagement, every pedal stroke is transferred instantly into forward speed, helping you surge up climbs and out of corners.

INTEGRATED SYSTEM DESIGN

The one-piece integrated XC handlebar boosts compliance and comfort while maintaining precise steering control. Internal cable routing, dropper post integration, and space for two bottle cages create a clean, race-ready cockpit. Available in composite or alloy variants, the integrated cockpit offers a 780mm width and stem lengths from 50–90mm for optimal fit and handling.
