On paper, it’s on par with bikes costing far more, so we were quite curious to see how it stacks up in the eMTB world.

The new Giant Stance E+ 2 may be Giant's cheapest full suspension electric mountain bike, but it's also a surprisingly capable e-MTB.
Comfortable riding position & bump-eating suspension
Great all-terrain stability
Powerful & responsive SyncDrive Sport motor
625Wh battery offers good range capability
Grippy tyres, solid brakes & bulletproof drivetrain
Really needs a dropper post
Long chainstays will inhibit agility on smaller sizes
Motor is a bit peaky in high assist modes
Advanced riders will find limits of suspension

The Stance E+ gets a bigger battery and a more powerful motor for 2023.

Price: $4000.00 | Model Year: 2021 | A high quality ebike from a mainstream company with loads of dealers in North America. The purpose built full-suspension frame comes in four sizes and features internal cable routing, custom metallic paint, and all-black accessories. It delivers cross country geometry with 130mm front and 120mm rear suspension travel. Air suspension is lightweight and highly adjustable for different rider weights.
A high quality ebike from a mainstream company with loads of dealers in North America.

It delivers cross country geometry with 130mm front and 120mm rear suspension travel. Air suspension is lightweight and highly adjustable for different rider weights.
Boost hub spacing with a 15mm thru-axle adds stiffness and strength for the front wheel. Interestingly, the rear hub is not Boost and uses 141mm hub spacing with a traditional 9mm axle and skewer. Quick release for both wheels and seat clamp offer easy transport prep and trail maintenance. Large 203mm hydraulic disc brakes and quad piston calipers offer quick stops and fast cooling.
The motor is very quiet and offers a satisfying ride. Giant offers a smartphone app for tuning the different levels of assist and the bike is now Bluetooth and Ant+ wireless compatible for use with Garmins and other devices. Rubberized button pad is easy to reach and seems very durable, but the readouts are limited and a bit confusing in my opinion. There appears to be a kickstand mounting point for riders who wish to add one (great fo SUV type riders who park in garages and at bike racks vs. pure off-road users).
No dropper post on this model, which seems like a common option for mountain bikes at this price level. Very heavy battery for the average 500 watt hour capacity... even compared to Giant's own prior-year battery packs. Large motor casing hangs down a bit which isn't as visually satisfying and might introduce rock or log strikes. Battery lock and charging port are on the no-drivetrain side of the bike (facing the ground when the bike is laid down) and the charging port is in the left crank arm's rotation path. Very large and heavy battery charger, requires a dongle adapter to charge the pack off the bike.

The Giant Stance 29-1 feels like a bike that should cost more than it does. It has real value when it comes to ride quality and performance. Read our full review here to see why the Giant Stance is an excellent affordable mountain bike.

At $1,550, this full-suspension makes industry-standard features available to more riders.
11-50t cassette
1x SRAM SX Eagle drivetrain
No dropper post

Price is one of the biggest barriers preventing people from getting into the sport of mountain biking, but that is likely to change with companies like...
12-speed drivetrain
Balanced suspension
Stealthy looks
Solid all-around performance
No dropper post
Non-aggressive tires

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.
Fun, fast and efficiently
