Giant Stance 27.5 review

Mar 2016 · Guy Kesteven

Held back by its fork, but a smooth, efficient and enjoyable XC/trail ride with added ‘proper shop’ value. Buy if you want an upgrade-worthy budget full-sus bike that should be good for years – and are willing to work around the weak-link fork for the time being

Highs
  • Pedals well

  • Relatively light weight and fast tyres make for easy speed

  • Frame is worthy of upgrading

  • Available in independent bike shops

Lows
  • Skinny qr fork can’t handle trouble like the rest of the bike

  • Long stem causes stubborn steering on techy trails
