Ahhhaha. In my head I was saying it replaced the stance 2020......2. that is definitely not how it comes across. I should have said the 2020 stance 2. Thanks for pointing that out!😄
I just bought one my first dual suspension bike too Mann i love it, it rides so smooth and tackles technical terrain really well. Would recommend to anyone buying a dual sus on a budget that wants higher end performance
Bought the 27.5 version about three weeks ago. My first full squishy. Im new to mtb so I didn’t check the tire width which was 2.6. Kinda surprised me. However when I rode it for a bit, it felt pretty good so I am lucky I guess.
@@adammj136 found it in store out here in northern Cali. Check out the giant website, it’ll show you what stores have it in stock around your local area and on websites. Maybe some shops may ship. Good luck on your search!!

@@bluckhai7806 im 6ft and i have a large. Its about just the right size for me, you could probably be a but taller than me and still buy a large and it would fit.
Great video Cam. Thank you for this information! I’m actually buying this bike used this week for $1300. By the pictures it looks really like brand new…let’s hope it look like factor! Will keep you updated!! Love your videos man and I’m liking them 👍
I bought the 2020 model ,,,, i was hoping that they will make it thru axel at the back which they can do but they did not....anyway still happy cause its just the same one....
You are correct. I believe it is ana availability issue with the current state of the world. On our order form they have the stance with crest or with suntour and they are the same price.
Thanks for the vid! Been looking at this one to get next in the black. Giant's international website actually has it on there that shows most of the info too
@@paulb2448 here's the international link - www.giant-bicycles.com/int/stance-29-2-2021 BUT now both the stance 29 1 and 2 are on the US site, here's the link to those - www.giant-bicycles.com/us/bikes-stance-29-2021
Nice vid!! If I wanted to upgrade the back stock QR Boost 141 wheel to a regular boost thru axle wheel (i.e Enve M640), what parts do I need replaced or added (i.e., end caps, free wheel hub)?
Great video! I have a question I’m currently going to buy the same bike in the video I’m just torn between getting the small or the medium? I’m 5’6”. Thank you!
Looks nice. Man I'm really debating if I need small or medium frame....I'm 5'6... Currently ride 2016 diamond back recoil 27.5 sometimes it feels big but it's also my first mountain bike so not 100% if it's a good fit
I’m pretty sure the stance comes with a dropper post right out of the box from what I have seen in other videos, I don’t know if they took it off in the 2020/2021 version though
What do you want to know? The Sourcebook for 21 just got sent out to dealers. All Reign 29's are 170 front now. There is another bike you might not expect coming 9/2/2020
@@bryceridesbikes hey man thanks so much. The SX. I wanted to order the 2020 in June but was sold out already my size. Now eagerly waiting for the 21 to order. Still Sram NX or Shimano Deore maybe? And colour?
3 year old review, but I found this same exact Stance 2 Crest in mint condition for $800 obo. Do you think it's worth it as a beginner or new mountain biker?
Wondering what your current shipping times are for bikes ordered in your shop directly through Giant? I am in San Diego, CA and ordered this new Stance 29 2 on August 10... the patience is wearing thin, can't wait for this bike! Also, I've watched this video 30+ times, well done and thank you for the walk-thru!
It honestly depends on the bike, the last time I looked at the Stances i believe it was the beginning of the year at this point😳 but yours shouldn't take that long since you have been in the que since early August. It will be worth the wait and I'm glad you like the video!!
Same boat. Also San Diego! Ordered mine Oct 3 and was told not to be surprised if it shows up March. In the meantime, I'm fine tuning some mad maintenance skills, keeping my old Trek Fuel 90 going!
I just got this exact bike and i just realized mine came with cresent 34 instead of the SR suntour front suspension. I was wondering why that is?Wich one is better should i go return it??
The Crest is Giants proprietary fork. After dealing with them for a bit I wouldn't say it is really any better or any worse than the sr suntour. Giant started producing their own suspension so they could ensure product availability. (At least that's what I was told). The only difference I could really see between the two is the Giant fork might have a quicker warranty turn around since it is a Giant. I hope that helps!
Do you think a Medium will fit right on a 5"10 rider? According to Giant's website, a Medium and a Large will fit a 5"10 rider. The problem is we don't have a Large size in our local bike shop. To bad, the medium is not yet assembled so I can't ride ) fit it☹️
I know it's difficult to test ride in the current climate. I am 5'10 with a 32 inseam and I much prefer a large over the medium. I actually had a medium Giant at one point and had to get a longer seatpost to make the fit correct. But technically I can ride either size per their fit guide
Thoughts on a 2020 Kona Jake the Snake 58cm for $1500? The one time I rented a road bike the guy said the 56cm looked perfect for me, that was a specialized allez.
Recently saw 2021 Trance 2 27.5 online for sale at bicyclewarehouse.com for $2199. Isn't that pretty cheap compared to what the 2020 Trance 2 sold for??
We haven't gotten the trance in stock yet but I can say that giant changed the numbering around on the Talons which makes it more confusing but I think that might be the case with the trance as well. So the trance 2 could replace the trance 3 which would align with the price point. I'll check and confirm that though
@@MossieRidesBikes Thanks so much! I really appreciate how responsive you are and the awesome content of your videos! It's because of you I went and purchased an Occam H20. Lol! I'm just waiting for it to be shipped as soon as it's available. 😀🚵♂️
03:38 replaces Stance 2022 ? Were not quite there yet ?

He means 2020 - 2
I just bought one
my first dual suspension bike too
Mann i love it, it rides so smooth and tackles technical terrain really well. Would recommend to anyone buying a dual sus on a budget that wants higher end performance
does this bike have a dropper post?
@@jacobvadeboncoeur6947 no
but i highly recommend getting it with one
i put a dropper on mine as soon as i got it
it makes a HUGE difference, definitely worth the investment
Bought it in the blue ash color way today. Looks good, rides great, and climbs like a champ!
Bought the 27.5 version about three weeks ago. My first full squishy. Im new to mtb so I didn’t check the tire width which was 2.6. Kinda surprised me. However when I rode it for a bit, it felt pretty good so I am lucky I guess.
Especially if you are new to mtbing you will love the 2.6 tires. They help ya out of hairy situations😄
Just bought the same ash blue 29er stance 2 in a L. Man considering it’s my first full suspension ride I can’t complain at all 👍🏽👍🏽
Hey! Curious what your lead time was or if you found one in-store. I'm wringing my hands waiting, I'm told, anywhere from 6 weeks to 4 months!

Hey can i upgrade the rear shock w a lockout? Thanks more power and have safe dring ahead...
Yes Rockshox Monarch R. There is a video on TH-cam where someone does it.
I order the 27.5 in green. Shouls be ready in 2 days at my local bikestore.
Did you get your bike and would you recommend it even with todays newer bikes
I just bought one and i rode it today. I love this bike.
Josh Ziegler where from
Wow awesome video great job 👍😎🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Do some come with Suntour and some with the new Giant Crest forks? Their website says it should have the Crest forks.
You are correct. I believe it is ana availability issue with the current state of the world. On our order form they have the stance with crest or with suntour and they are the same price.
I just bought mine 2 days ago it's a really good bike for the price
The bike looks super good.
Man i wish the 2021 stance 1 was that color lol. I got the 2021 stance 1 29er rosewood last month and it’s really fun to ride
The rosewood is not a bad color by any means but I do think that the blue is the best out of all the stances.
Does this bike have 4 piston brakes?
No, it comes stock with two piston brakes

I would lean more towards the small for ya. I always say to try and ride both just for peace of mind but that's hard to do at the moment🧐
Great bike. Wish I could actually buy one.
Whats the next best mtb on the list? Thanks
Very nice man!!
I just picked up a Large in the same color... super hyped! any idea what size dropper post fits in the large frame?
I’m pretty sure the stance comes with a dropper post right out of the box from what I have seen in other videos, I don’t know if they took it off in the 2020/2021 version though

Can you review the giant stance 1 2021 29er pls ;)
Is the geometry the same as its predecessor?
It's good bike?
holds up to a 5'9" 265# dude fine thus far. So yea I think it is a pretty good bike.
How much travel
It's 130 in the front and 120 in the rear
@@MossieRidesBikes so the same as the trance
Where are you located?
Do you have a 2021 Trance lll?
Not yet, they are pre ordered but I don't know a hard date on availability
Mossie Rides Bikes what is your store phone number?
That's exactly what I'm waiting to see. Both the 27.5 and 29. Curious on any changes. Thanks for bringing the info to us.
Hi.im from guam i like mtb but i dont know how to order
Is there a weight limit for a rider?
I am 265# and it has been fine so far. Ridden roots, rocks, no major jumps but some air time, and some smallish drops.

Jake the snakes are pretty sweet bikes. How tall are ya?
@@MossieRidesBikes 5'11, 32 inseam
That pretty much my same measurements. A 58 would be a bit of a stretch in my opinion. I typically ride a 55-56 and feel right at home
@@MossieRidesBikes Thanks Cam!
Dropper have?
Is it true this bike DOES NOT come with a dropper post ?
You are correct. The model above this one that I think retails around $1800 does have a dropper post
Should I even bother with the 2021 stance 27.5?
You might as well go 29er brotha if they are same price.
Its sometimes hard to find an xl bike tho
