Giant Stance 29″ 1 Mountain Bike

Giant Stance 29 1

The Giant Stance 29 1 is a capable full-suspension 29-inch mountain bike designed for riders who want to progress beyond a hardtail and explore more challenging trails. Its ALUXX-grade aluminium frame combines durability with a performance-focused construction, while the FlexPoint suspension platform provides a balanced setup for climbing, descending and technical trail riding.

With 29-inch wheels, modern trail geometry and 125mm of rear suspension travel paired with 140mm at the front, the Stance 29 1 provides a confident platform for riders looking to tackle a wider variety of terrain. Giant describes the Stance 29 as an accessible entry into full-suspension mountain biking, making it a practical choice for riders developing their trail skills.

FlexPoint Full-Suspension Design

The Stance 29 1 uses Giant’s FlexPoint suspension system, delivering 125mm of rear-wheel travel. The front of the bike is equipped with a Crest 34 SL RCL suspension fork providing 140mm of travel.

This combination gives the bike useful suspension capability when riding across rocks, roots, ruts and other uneven terrain. The suspension platform also works with the 29-inch wheel configuration to help the bike maintain stability when travelling over rough surfaces.

The Giant Contact Switch AT dropper post provides handlebar-controlled saddle adjustment, allowing riders to lower the saddle when descending and return it to a higher position when climbing or pedalling on smoother sections.

SRAM SX Eagle 1×12 Drivetrain

The SRAM SX Eagle 1×12 drivetrain provides a wide range of gearing for varied trail conditions. Its 11-50T cassette gives the Stance 29 1 plenty of low-range gearing for climbing while retaining useful higher gears for flatter sections and faster trail riding.

The 30T SRAM SX Eagle chainring provides a practical setup for the bike’s trail-oriented gearing range.

Hydraulic Disc Brakes and Trail Tyres

Shimano BR-MT420 hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm rotors at both ends provide controlled braking performance. This gives riders predictable braking when managing speed on descents and approaching technical trail sections.

The bike rolls on Giant AM 29 alloy tubeless-ready rims with Maxxis Minion DHF 29 x 2.5 WT tyres at the front and Maxxis Dissector 29 x 2.4 WT tyres at the rear.

The Stance is also tubeless prepared, making it a versatile platform for riders who want to configure their bike for more demanding trail use.

For riders looking for a full-suspension 29er mountain bike, the Giant Stance 29 1 offers a strong combination of suspension travel, modern geometry, 1×12 gearing and hydraulic braking.
