Nothing beats that feeling of being one with the trail. Stance helps you tap into it, delivering smooth control with a new aluminum 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.
Key Performance Factors
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 tires 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 our Unified Suspension Setup makes it easy to dial-in the settings.
INTEGRATED CHASSIS
A new hydroformed ALUXX aluminum 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
Techs & Features
ALUXX Aluminum 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.
FlexPoint 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 tires. Greater traction. Less rolling resistance and a smoother, faster ride. Giant’s Tubeless System makes it easier than ever to experience all these benefits.
OverDrive
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.

| Weight | The most accurate way to determine any bike’s weight is to have your local dealer weigh it for you. Many brands strive to list the lowest possible weight, but in reality weight can vary based on size, finish, hardware and accessories. All our bikes are designed for best-in-class weight and ride quality. |
