Expirience with the Giant STANCE 1

Ludwig Döhl Inexpensive full suspension bikes are rare, but the Taiwanese STANCE 1 is exactly that. With its geometry, the Trailbike of Giant is right in the middle between playfulness and high speed stability. When entering the saddle, the Giant STANCE 1 conveys a balanced seating position. On climbs, the STANCE 1 lets you sweat. Other bikes 2499 Euro climb better. Giant gives 25 years warranty on the bike.
