Giant Stance E+ Review: Better Than Before?

Today, we’ve got the Giant Stance E+ back on the channel. The first time around, the bike didn’t really butter my toast, but it’s since seen a massive update. It has new geometry, and our version gets the SyncDrive Pro drivesystem. So, is it better this time around? Stick around to find out.

There is no better MTB reviewer period. Another gem.

Got the equivalent Embolden E+ Pro to my wife and that was an excellent move!
Good honest review thanks. 👍

I just purchased on Black Friday sale 2.4 thousand and I can’t wait to get it. I’m 60 years old and I’m a little nervous because I have not rode in a while. I’m 6’5 250 I hope I didn’t make a mistake. Thanks for your video.

Completely honest review. It's nice to hear someone not afraid to criticize where needed without coming off as elitist and snobby.

Excellent and fair review. The comments on pink bike about the new stance e are laughable. It is a budget full sus emtb that doesn’t break the bank! It offers an amazing value for what it is and the majority of casual riders won’t tell the difference between this and a high performance emtb.

Just picked my one up for 2.8K on an instore price, it was the stance E+1 and it is amazing so far

I’m not really interested in eMTBs, but I still watch all ur e-bike reviews because they are just that good.

I have been interested in the non-E version of this thing cause it's so cheap, sounds like it would be a very solid bike with the updates to it. Some people online are wary of the flexpoint suspension, but it sounds like it works really well.

[murphybarrera]

I just ordered this bike, I'm new, I hope this bike shows me the fun of the mountain bike hobby.

I have 3 Giant Bikes and I luv Giant Bikes

[rexwithers]

I'm looking to buy one used. How do I (can I?) tell the difference at a glance between this one and the not so good older version. Most used bikes listing dont give much detail perhaps they give the year but that’s about it. Thanks

[DeadOrcherd]

Does this bike go without pedaling or is it only pedal assist

[jasontreyes]

Can you ride this bike without turning the electrical system? I'd utilize the electrical features when I'm completely exhausted.

[mathildeeide]

Is the new model still a commuter bike or am i better off with the 2023 as an allround bike?

[jakemaughan]

How can you tell if they are selling the new or old version on their website?

I’m selling my Cannondale Moterra Neo Carbon to get a Giant. I’m wondering if it’s better to get a Stance E+ Pro or Trance X E+?
