2026 Giant Stance 27.5 (XS)

Tame the trail nothing beats the feeling of being one with the trail. The all new stance helps you tap into it, delivering smooth control with a new aluminiom framewset and 130mm of flexpoint rear suspension. Paired with a 140mm fork, and trail ready features including a dropper post, this bike is everything you need to reach the next level.

Trail-Friendly Control: Refined trail geometry with a slacker head tube and higher stack creates a stable, confident ride position. The new Contact Switch AT dropper post and long-post compatibility (up to 200mm) gives you room to move on descents. A wide-range 1X drivetrain, powerful 4-piston brakes, and tubeless tyres deliver simple shifting, precise speed control and planted traction-so you don't just ride the trail, you master it.

Trail-Tuned Suspension: Re-engineered FlexPoint rear suspension with a Crest FloTrac TR shock delivers active, consistent performance through 130mm of travel. The single-pivot system boasts the lowest rear-triangle deformation in its class, while new kinematics with a tailored shock spring curve deliver a more linear wheel path. The result is a smooth, predictable feel with unbeatable traction and mid-stroke support. Up front, the dual-air Giant STL 34 suspension fork smooths out rocks and roots, and Unified Suspension Setup makes it easy to dial in your settings.

Integrated Chassis: A new hydroformed ALUXX aluminium chassis is engineered for strength, stiffness, and low weight. Seamless shock integration enhances frame stiffness and delivers a more connected ride feel. A smooth cockpit-to-frame transition with integrated spacers keeps the front end clean, while flush cable guides help ensure quiet performance. Convertible internal/external routing adds adaptability, resulting in a sleek, precise, trail-ready frame that rides as sharp as it looks.
