Giant Stance 29 Review | Full suspension fun for less

août 2020

Introduced as a budget alternative to the popular Trance 29, the Giant Stance 29 is an entry-level full suspension trail bike that packs in a lot of the right ingredients. After several months of testing, we discovered that it isn't perfect though. Read on for our full review of the Giant Stance 29 2.

Highs
  • Supple suspension performance

  • Comfortable & compliant ride quality

  • Usefully low-gearing

  • Smooth & reliable Shimano brakes

  • A lot of bike for the money

Lows
  • Quick release dropouts limit upgrade potential

  • Rear-end flex may be an issue for heavier riders

  • Handlebars are far too narrow

  • Effective seat angle is quite slack

Giant Stance 2 review - MBR

juil. 2019 · Alan Muldoon

It’s been three years since we last tested the Giant Stance and a lot has changed in that time. For starters, the price has shot up by £400.

Highs
  • Fun, fast and efficiently

Lows
  • Chain rattle is deafening

Giant Stance 2 review

juin 2019 · Alex Evans

Fork, shock and gearing undermine the Stance 2’s potential, but it’s a good starting point

Highs
  • Supportive suspension for rowdy riding

  • Dropper post helps you maintain your flow

  • Comes set up tubeless as stock

Lows
  • 2x drivetrain causes issues

  • Geometry isn’t going to set the world alight

Giant releases Stance 29 1 and 2

juin 2019

Normally, choosing an affordable mountain bike means getting stuck with an outdated drivetrain, sub-standard frame geometry and/or undergunned suspension. Apparently, the Giant Stance 29 is not normal.
