Expirience with the Giant Stance 2

Ludwig Döhl Inexpensive full suspension bikes are rare, but the Taiwanese Stance 2 is exactly that. The scales remain light for this model, which is, according to Giant, at 13,9 kg. Thus, the Giant is one of the lighter Trailbike that you get for 2199 Euro . The moderate 67,5 degree head tube angle ensures a balanced handling. When entering the saddle, the Giant Fully conveys a balanced seating position. There are Trailbike in the price under 3000 Euro that have more potential downhill. One should not forget: the geometry is the heart of a mountain bike. For 2199 Euro, Giant provides more than the competitors in the same price range. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Giant is behind its products.
