I’m a newb to mtn biking as well. I also have the 2016 Anthem X and here’s what I was told my my LBS. The dropper is intended to be ran externally on a stock bike. What’s nice is that there are braze-on guides on the frame. Black cable if you want to stealthy, yellow if you want to be flashy. However, the LBS mentioned that if you switched to a 1x drive train, you could theoretically use the cable for the front derailleur as you dropper cable. On another note, converting to 1×10 or even 1×11 on the bike is relatively inexpensive and easy to do.
