Mountain Biking UK, the best-selling cycling magazine in the United Kingdom, has done a trail test of four bikes for its January 2009 issue and the Giant Anthem X2 wins hands down.  In a head-to-head-to-head-to-head challenge against the Specialized FSR XC Pro, the Kona One20 Primo, and the Trek Fuel EX7, the Anthem X2 is the clear winner.  The editors say many nice things, like this: "There's one bike here that is truly outstanding...Giant's Anthem X blew us away.  Superb composure and trail connection from only 100mm of travel and rocket ship responsiveness from the super light frame make this a must have for anyone who measures their rides in tens of miles."
