2022 / 2023 Giant Stance 29 2 | Best value Full Suspension bikes and who it suits

One thing that is often overlooked by much of the mountain biking media when they test and review bikes is that they, as hardcore cycling media, don't ride their bikes the same way a less experienced rider does.

Geometry plays a big role in how confident and comfortable a rider will feel and here's the news flash: WHAT WORKS WELL FOR HARDCORE AGGRESSIVE RIDERS DOES NOT WORK FOR LESS AGGRESSIVE, LESS SKILLED RIDERS.

As I present this 2022 Giant Stance 29 2, I show both the component specifications, which show that this bike has a well balanced selection of parts that collectively are good quality and make an excellent bike for a less aggressive rider who just wants comfort and confidence on less than hectic trails.
I then go on to explain why the geometry on this bike, has avoided following the current trends of ultra long reach, slack headtube and steep seat tube to make it a more intuitive experience for the lesser skilled/ less aggressive rider.

The 2022 Giant Stance 29 2 is $2499 in Canada and the highlights of the bike are its light airsprung Giant Fork, The Shimano Deore 1x10 drivetrain, tubeless tires setup and appropriate geometry.

These bikes are still incredibly rare with only a smattering of inventory will hit the Canadian market. Hopefully this video helps and potential buyers to understand the bike so they can decide whether they want to put money down at their local shop to secure one.

thanks for watching!
