Consumer Reports

Giant is known for making excellent bikes at very competitive prices, and the Stance 29 2 is an excellent example of that. This complete bike costs roughly half the price of many carbon frames on their own, yet it performs impressively well out on the trail. This affordable trail bike rolls on 29-inch wheels with 120mm of rear-wheel suspension paired with a 130mm travel fork. It climbs with liveliness and efficiency and our testers even put down some of their fastest uphill times ever while riding it. The suspension feels balanced and the Stance proved to be comfortable and capable on the descents. The component specification is quality for the price, and we feel this bike is an outrageous value.
Our biggest gripes with the Stance are relatively minor. This bike does not come with a dropper seatpost which we feel would take its downhill performance to another level. The stock tires are fast-rolling and non-aggressive, and we feel a beefier set would do wonders for all-around performance. Beyond that, we feel this is a great entry-level full suspension bike for all-around riding. Its also offered in 27.5-inch wheels depending on your preference.

The recently redesigned Giant Stance 29 2 is the best budget-friendly full-suspension mountain bike our testers have come across. This is an impressively versatile trail bike with an all-around performance that far exceeded our expectations and the asking price. The Stance comes with a 130mm fork and 120mm of FlexPoint rear suspension that felt impressively well balanced. The middle-of-the-road modern geometry felt comfortable and is one of the reasons this bike performed so well in virtually all situations. Testers had a blast riding this bike on everything from rolling, smooth, XC-style terrain to some more steep and rocky descents. The Stance also proved to be an efficient and spirited climber with 29-inch wheels, fast-rolling tires, a wide-range 12-speed drivetrain, and supportive rear suspension. 
Components are one of the easiest things to complain about on bikes in this price range, and the Stance's lack of a dropper seat post is the most glaring issue our testers had with this bike. Beyond that, if you're looking for an entry-level full-suspension bike, or you just don't want to spend a fortune on a new ride, we think the well-rounded Stance 29 2 is the highest performing and also best-looking bike you're going to find in this price range.

 A lot of people are excited about this because they've upgraded from the previous year, the previous year. They had sram components, and this year they have shimano dior components, starting with the shimano dior shadow plus derailleur and slx cranks connected to a 30-tooth narrow-wide chain ring going back to a 10 by 51 tooth 12 speed cassette. It also comes with shimano dior click shifters for a nice confident shift. The stance also has some great quality components in the brakes

Hey in this video we're going to be reviewing the giant stance 2 in the 29er version, [ Music, ], hey guys, welcome back to the channel. Today we got another great bike that has been loaned to us from our good friends at truly spoken mark and the good people down there. Let us take this bike to test it and review it, and they are our local giant, dealership, they're, also extremely knowledgeable in all things that have to do with bikes, they're, very family friendly, and so they can help you with any of your bike needs. Well, today we have the giant stance 2 and the 29er version

 It'S just a great looking bike. Then, of course is how does this bike ride and how does it feel so? Let'S go out and see how it looks out on the trail and how it rides: [: Music, ], [ Applause, ], [, Music, ], [ Applause, ], [, Music, ], [ Applause, ], [, Music, ], [, Music, ], so [, Music, ], [ Applause, ]; okay, guys, Let'S take a look at the geometry of this bike and see how that translates into the rod, because that's what really makes a bike feel a certain way. Every bike has a different flavor or feel and the way that it rides, and so geometry plays a very important part in that the giant stance comes with a 16.9 inch reach on the medium frame, as well as a 45

 What i mean by that is how the bike looks and how it rides and feels well. First off this bike looks great whenever you consider how far mountain bikes have come in the design and geometry over the last couple of decades. It is amazing and giant definitely has a great design department now they're a little more conservative than some brands, but that doesn't mean they're boring. In fact, if you look and notice how the different shaping is with the hydroformed aluminum frame, that this has, with this elux aluminum frame giant, does an outstanding job with the shaping it has excellent welds and different, build and everything it's very, very well built, and it Just looks great: i love this blue ash

 Only this bike here comes into australia, though this is the stance 29.2. This bike here retails for just 2 399 australian dollars for your money, you're, getting air, adjustable suspension, front and rear courtesy of suntour there's a sram eagle, 1x12 drivetrain shimano hydraulic disc brakes and tubeless compatible wheels from giant all up our test spike weighs 13.94 kilograms

 As for going uphill, i wouldn't say this bike is exactly the zippiest climber. The effective seat tube angle is actually kind of slack. I measured it closer to 73 degrees and that's exacerbated by this offset seat post, which puts the saddle further over the rear wheel, combined with the active rear suspension, design and the tool front end. Once you're going up steeper climbs, the front wheel does tend to wander a bit and you do find yourself sinking into the travel on the rear shock

I think the biggest thing that has stood out to me on this bike is just how comfortable it is to ride. The suspension is really smooth both front and rear. In particular, the radon 34 fork up front is fantastic for a budget airsprung fork in terms of sensitivity

Giant Stance 29 Review | Giant's Cheapest Full Suspension Mountain Bike

 As you move to better components you get lighter, more durable, more precise, and better adjustment. A cheap derailleur will shift but feel clunky and be heavy while a really good one has very accurate and quick shifting and weighs a lot less. Better brakes will deliver more stopping power and more precise control than cheaper ones.

1. It’s almost entirely about the components. As you move to better components you get lighter, more durable, more precise, and better adjustment. A cheap derailleur will shift but feel clunky and be heavy while a really good one has very accurate and quick shifting and weighs a lot less

 Better brakes will deliver more stopping power and more precise control than cheaper ones.

All your suggestions for bikes, things to look for or stay away from in a bike are welcome! Trying to make this a post that can be referenced off of for others too. 


1. How can I know what makes a bike valuable? Is there any easy way to guage how good a part/specs are of a bike? (Besides rhe frame material, thats a given)

2. Can you build bikes yourself like computers to be cheaper or is it a completely different story?

3. I know I don't understand wtf the differences between certain parts are, but what about bike lines? For example Trek Roscoe vs Martin ect. What makes all of the bike lines different, and how can I "know" what they are for? (I can assume the numbers mean how top of the line they are, but also is there a certain point that the best of one line wouldnt be worth it compared to another lines lower model?)

4. This one will be a no brainer for you guys, but because I am a noob I have to ask: How does a $500 hardtail compare to a $1000 hardtail? Sure the parts are better, but *what* makes them better?

5. Branching off of #4, what would be the price range for a beginner? From what I have heard I dont like the idea of a super cheap bike, but I dont know if I can take full advantage of something $1500+

6. Obligitory one: at the moment I like flowy, easy-to-go-fast-on trails/parks. I also think offroading in more technical trails is interesting, but I like the roller coaster feel of bike parks better. I have really thought about the Roscoe 7 but then saw the Stance 29 2 and still dont know which is better for my needs as they both are about the same price (lets ignore my point in #5). People say the Stance is good for beginners but is not meant to be "sent" with, can this be bad? I dont want to break a bike for going too crazy lol.


P.S. I think its also worth saying I have a bike, but its really old with spring suspension and rim brakes. So it was good for the time but I cant adjust the suspension down a lot since I am a lightweight. I have thought about upgrading it, but wanted to see my options of getting a modern bike.

New MTB lover here, I have questions that are asked not so often. (And some that are)

 A big thing that we have going on here is a dropper seat post, which i think is part of what would make any bike. Um, a nice actual mountain bike, um a lot of people if this is say their first time that they're thinking of a full suspension bike and looking at a video like this may not even be familiar with. What'S going on with the dropper, but essentially what a dropper does is, gives you quick access to raising and lowering your seat quickly? So you have that lever there, your post and you press the button and it is always sprung to the top and then, when you want to go back down again, you just put your weight on the saddle, um press, the button and your seat can go down To anywhere in this range that we have here of the post, so this is about the cheapest full suspension. I think it is the cheapest full suspension bike shop brand, that you'll see with a dropper seat post on it um and it's a reasonable amount of travel on here

 This means you probably have some decent anti-squat numbers. An anti-squat is basically the mechanical design of the frame actually using the tension. In your chain, when you're pedaling to actually help to offset the bike's natural tendency to bob a little bit under your your weight moving around as you're pedaling, so an efficient pedaling bike for a couple different reasons, definitely worth a test ride for somebody uh. I mentioned that um praxis chainring, we also have praxis alloy cadet cranks on here mentioned the shock

 What is more, common that you get tubeless ready tires, but you still have to buy valves, still have to tape rims and still have to buy some sealant. So that's part of the value here for 2500 bucks you're getting a proper tubeless setup and it's actually set up ready to go tubeless matters to you because that means you can run your tires a little bit softer, which really helps you to get extra performance when Riding off-road and a soft tire will sort of grab looser ground or roots or rocks much better than a firmer tire that you would need to be running. If you had a tube in there, the maxis forecaster - i wouldn't ever identify that as my favorite maxis tire, but it is a sensible tire for this bike. So that's one of the things that when we talk about this bike, there is a holistic approach to this bike, where they're not trying to design a dumb down super hardcore bike, which would then have hardcore tires designed for aggressive riding the idea with this bike and That goes from geometry to specifications um, including things like those tires, is that giant is trying to make a bike here that helps to get somebody who isn't aggressive

 When i built this bike here, um got out for a really good ride and uh i'm doing this before i have a shower. So that's how motivated i am i'm filming this before going to have a shower after a ride. This is the 2022 giant stance. Uh, 29

2022 Giant Stance 29 2 | Best value Full Suspension bikes and who it suits

Bought a giant stance 29 1 last year and it rips had to put a bigger tire on the front and now it keeps up with all my buddies 5k setups and I only paid 2,100 after tax I’ll probably keep it for atleast another 3 years

For some background I have been biking for about 5 years and have been riding a norco hard tail for the past 2 it is just not serving me well anymore I need something that will allow me to get better

 I'm thinking I'm pretty close to that weight wise for a large frame bike. I'm pretty sure that the bolt on the collar isn't over tightened.

<div class="md"><p>im currently looking for a affordable but really good bike is GIANT a good brand? i recently saw a giant bike store</p>
</div>

is the brand GIANT a good bike manufacturer?

since my wife has the identical bike I'm wondering how long here's will last… I'd like to just replace the fork with a more common and easier to service brand like rock shop or fox but we already blew our budget buying two bikes and don't want to go into debt trying to keep a brand new bike going. Hopefully this is resolved more quickly and better than I am anticipating but I am skeptical.
