Gearing

A bike with lower gearing will be easier to ride up steep hills, while a higher top end means it will pedal faster down hills.

Highs
  • 12-speed drivetrain

  • Balanced suspension

  • Stealthy looks

  • Solid all-around performance

Lows
  • No dropper post

  • Non-aggressive tires

Giant Stance 2 review - MBR

jul 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

jun 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

jun 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Normally, choosing an affordable mountain bike means getting stuck with an outdated drivetrain, sub-standard frame geometry and/or undergunned suspension.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.
