Expirience with the Giant STANCE 2

Ludwig Döhl Inexpensive full suspension bikes are rare, but the Taiwanese STANCE 2 is exactly that. With its balanced handling, riding the Giant STANCE 2 feels really intuitive. Compared with what the market offers, the seating position is neither super sporty, nor uber-comfortable. In the saddle of the STANCE 2, you´ll enjoy a moderate position. There are Trailbike in the price under 3000 Euro that have more potential downhill. The Giant Trailbike has higher quality wheels than the competitors with comparable prices. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Giant puts a lot of trust in its products.
