With Giant abandoning any wheel size that is not 27.5, it’s only natural that their flagship race bike, the Anthem, gets similar treatment. As a former owner of the excellent Anthem X 29er, I have been looking forward to trying out the smaller wheel version. The “Advanced” in the name refers to Giant’s top-of-the-line carbon …

We tried to ride the Niner ROS 9 Plus at Interbike, but there just weren’t any demo bikes available. Niner is still short on demo rigs for the ROS 9 Plus, but at Outerbike I was able to hop on one of the employee’s personal rigs and take it for a spin. The build kit …
