The Giant Stance is a budget full-suspension mountain bike we spotted here at Bike Perfect as a superbly discounted mountain bike during the Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping weekend. It was already a top deal, but Mikes Bikes have gone even further now, and on top of the existing 35% discount, you will now get another $150 back on a reward card which you've got a year to spend at Mikes.
So that means on top of the $600 discount already on the Giant, the additional $150 reward card makes the Stance an under $1,000 full-suspension mountain bike bargain, and a total saving of 44% on the RRP.
If you're on the hunt for a Christmas mountain bike present for your partner, son or daughter, or even for yourself as a well earned Christmas bonus, then the Stance at this price is worthy of serious consideration.
Giant is renowned for its aluminum frame building tech and the Stance is built around a lightweight, stiff, and durable ALUXX aluminum frame that also has a Lifetime Original Owner warranty on the frame.
Giant uses its own FlexPoint Suspension technology that gives 120mm of rear travel from a Suntour Raidon R rear shock. Giant has opted to spec most of the other components including the 130mm Crest 34 RCL fork and its Giant AM 27.5-inch tubeless wheelset that roll on Maxxis Recon Race tires. Shifting and Braking comes from Shimano with a Deore 1x10 drivetrain, and Shimano hydraulic brakes.
Giant also recently gave the entire Stance range a geometry overhaul which matches it up with the best trail bikes and gives the rider excellent control on rough terrain, and a better climbing position on steep inclines which makes it a fun-loving and confidence inspiring mountain bike ready to tackle the toughest of trails in style.
You also get a dropper post with the brands own Contact Switch AT dropper post with frame size-specific drops from 140mm up to 200mm.
Another option worth considering from Giant if you fancy the smoother rolling larger diameter wheels of a 29er, is the Giant Stance 29 2, that has a slightly smaller 29% discount and the reward card bonus at Mike Bikes. It also comes with the same ALUXX-Grade Aluminum frame and the same suspension travel as the Stance, so it all depends on your wheel size preference.
