Giant Bicycles 2023 Stance 29 2 Gunmetal Black

Is this the best value $2500 full suspension bike on the market? Yes: it shares the title of best value with the Marin Rift Zone 1 - it just depends on what is most important to you.

The standout features on this bike are: Shimano Drivetrain (not Sram SX), dropper seatpost and a geometry that is more aimed at Novice riders than many of the more expensive bikes. Those expensive bikes can be a bit uncomfortable and a handful for less skilled riders.
