Nothing beats that feeling of being one with the trail. Stance helps you tap into it, delivering smooth control with a new aluminium frameset and 130mm of FlexPoint rear suspension featuring a new semi-integrated design. Paired with a 140mm fork and trail-ready features, including a dropper post, it's everything you need to reach the next level.

Features

Trail-Friendly Control

Refined trail geometry with a slacker head tube and higher stack creates a stable, confident ride position. The new Contact Switch AT dropper post and long-post compatibility (Up to 200mm) gives you room to move on descents. A wide-range 1X drivetrain, powerful 4-piston brakes, and tubeless tyres deliver simple shifting, precise speed control and planted traction-so you don't just ride the trail, you master it.

Trail-Tuned Suspension

Re-engineered FlexPoint rear suspension with a Crest FloTrac TR shock delivers active, consistent performance through 130mm of travel. The single-pivot system boasts the lowest rear-triangle deformation in its class, while new kinematics with tailored shock spring curve deliver a more linear wheel path. The result is a smooth, predictable feel with unbeatable traction and mid-stroke support. Up front, the dual-air Giant STL 34 suspension fork smooths out rocks and roots. And Giant's Unified Suspension Setup makes it easy to dial-in the settings.

Integrated Chassis

A new hydroformed ALUXX aluminium chassis is engineered for strength, stiffness, and low weight. Seamless shock integration enhances frame stiffness and delivers amore connected ride feel. A smooth cockpit-to-frame transition with integrated spacers keeps the front end clean, while flush cable guides help ensure quiet performance. Convertible internal / external routing adds adaptability. The result is a sleek, precise, trail-ready frame that rides as sharp as it looks

Technology

ALUXX Aluminium Technology

This Performance level frame material features 6061 alloy with single-butted tubes to produce strong, lightweight framesets for a variety of different bikes and riding styles.

Flex Point Suspension Technology

A proven "single-pivot" design that uses the flexing action of the chainstay/seatstay junction to produce a lightweight and durable suspension system with 4.7 inches/120mm of rear travel.

Tubeless System

Fewer flat tyres. Greater traction. Less rolling resistance and a smoother, faster ride. Giant's Tubeless System makes it easier than ever to experience all these benefits.

Over Drive

Giant's original oversized fork steerer tube technology. Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance, the system's oversized headset bearings (1 1/4" lower and 1 1/8" upper for road, 1 1/2" lower and 1 1/8" upper for mountain) and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness.
