Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.

The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

We estimate this will be ready for despatch to you or collection via Click & Collect on Undetermined

Hassle free returns

Any item (apart from nutrition products) can be returned to us within 28 days of purchase, given the item has not been used or fitted, and is returned in its original packaging with valid proof of purchase.

Online purchases can be returned either in store at Giant Lincoln or returned to us via post.

Return Terms & Conditions

Items must be returned in their original packaging and be unused. Refunds will be issued once the products have been received and inspected.

Click & Collect customers: should you decide your item is not right for you, it can be exchanged or refunded straight away in store, or you still have up to 28 days to return it if you take the item away.

If the items we have sent you are faulty, damaged or not as we described, we will cover any associated re-delivery/return postage costs.

Refunds will be processed using the same method of payment used for the original purchase.

We are unable to offer a refund without a valid receipt.

Please see the Terms & Conditions page for full guidance.

Bike Returns – Change of Mind

If you decide you no longer want your bike after delivery, that’s okay — we understand that sometimes things just don’t feel quite right.
However, if the bike is not faulty and has simply been unwanted or ordered in error, you’ll be responsible for returning it to us in unused, original condition (including all packaging, manuals, and accessories).

We can help arrange a collection if needed, but please note that a return charge of £80 will apply to cover the cost of collection and handling. This amount will be deducted from your refund.

Refunds will only be processed once the bike has been received back and inspected. If the bike shows any signs of use or damage beyond what’s necessary to check it over, we may reduce the refund to reflect any loss in value.

This policy does not affect your statutory rights if your bike is faulty or not as described — in those cases, we’ll arrange collection or replacement at no cost to you.

2026 Giant Anthem Advanced SL SE – Limited Edition XC Speed with Race-Proven DNA

Engineered for the sharp end of the race, the 2026 Anthem Advanced SL SE brings World Championship-winning performance to a special edition build. Developed with input from Giant pro Alan Hatherly, this XC rocket blends ultra-efficient suspension, adjustable geometry and integrated cockpit technology—crafted to dominate climbs, descents and everything in between.


🌄 Total Control for Technical XC Terrain

Built for aggressive race courses and fast-paced trail riding:

  • 120mm FlexPoint Pro rear suspension + 120mm fork for smooth, active performance

  • Flip chip geometry adjustment to tailor handling to the terrain

  • Giant composite or alloy WheelSystems (spec varies by model)

    • Next-gen 120-tooth helical ratchet hub for instant engagement

    • 5mm reinforced rim walls protect against rough impacts and race-day abuse


Low-Latency Speed Concept – Every Pedal Stroke Counts

The Advanced SL SE is built for one goal: going faster, more efficiently.

  • Fully reengineered composite frame 89g lighter than previous generation

  • 7.95% improved stiffness-to-weight ratio, boosting acceleration and climbing power

  • Rear shock semi-integrated into the top tube to reduce weight and make room for a second bottle cage

  • Power delivery is instant—responding immediately to rider input


🔗 System Integration for Seamless Performance

Refined frame components deliver comfort, precision and efficiency:

  • Integrated one-piece handlebar/stem unit reduces vibration and improves handling

  • Two cockpit options available:

    • Contact SLR XC Integrated (composite)

    • Contact SL XC Integrated (alloy)

  • Both share:

    • 780mm width for confident control

    • Stem options from 50–90mm for precise sizing

    • Internal cable routing for sleek aesthetics and race-ready aerodynamics


🏁 Why Riders Will Love It

  • Race-engineered performance in a special edition package

  • Modern XC geometry with adjustable handling

  • Ultra-fast power transfer with optimized stiffness

  • Light, durable and built to endure elite-level racing

  • Designed for efficiency over long efforts and control on technical sections
