The Giant Stance E+ 2 offers a comfortable and upright riding position. This would drop a bit of rotational weight, but more importantly it would allow you to run lower pressures for improved grip and comfort, while also having better puncture resistance. That’s because both the tyres and rims are tubeless compatible, which means you’d only need tubeless-compatible valves and sealant. It’s worth noting that while the tyres do come fitted with conventional inner tubes, it would be relatively straightforward to upgrade to a tubeless setup. Our Giant Stance E+2 test bike came in at a weight of 25.86kg without pedals. Seatpost | Giant Alloy, 30.9mm DiameterĬould not wipe the grin off that face if you tried!

The Giant Stance E+ 2 is the only model from the Stance E+ range that comes into Australia. 2024 Giant Stance E+ 2 Size Chart The Giant Stance E+ 2 is the only Stance E+ model that comes into Australia. This does give the bike a big wheelbase for plenty of stability, but it will potentially come at the expense of agility, especially for shorter riders on the Small and Medium size frames. The chainstays have gotten a bit shorter on the new bike, but they’re still very long at 468mm. Giant has also steepened the seat angle to 76°, which helps to counteract the longer reach and place the rider in a more comfortable and upright position on the climbs. Those changes combined should make the new Stance E+ more stable at cruising speeds, and help to inspire greater confidence on the descents. The reach has also increased by a lot, with the size Large jumping from 444mm to 480mm. The head angle has slackened out to 65.5° and the BB sits 20mm lower than the old bike. There are also some big improvements to the geometry on the 2023 Giant Stance E+ 2. The front of the bike is quite clean, and we like the functionality of the RideControl Dash display. The headset also swallows the cables, electrical wires and rear brake hose to keep things quite neat and tidy, though a port on the side of the head tube provides you with an alternative for routing the control lines. The rear dropouts upgrade to a sturdier thru-axle to increase lateral rigidity, while the head tube is now a huge 1.8in tapered number that gives the front of the bike a beefier look. There are plenty of structural improvements too.
