Giant Anthem X Rocker Set 29" — What It Is
The Giant Anthem X Rocker Set 29" refers to the upper suspension linkage (rocker arm assembly) used on the Giant Anthem X 29er full-suspension XC bike platform.
It is a critical part of the Maestro suspension system, connecting the frame’s main triangle to the rear shock and working together with the lower linkage (“down link”) to control suspension movement.
In simple terms:
It’s the top pivot linkage that drives how the rear shock compresses and how the bike feels on bumps, climbs, and corners.
