do you ship to texas? i want a 2025 stance. US bike shops will only sell the left over 2022's which SUCKS.

Lets hear that rear hub, good engagement?

I lioke it, do you ship to Ontario

Giant makes cool bikes!

Nice bro

ah just realised this is not an ebike!!!!

hi I notice the crossbar on the bike you show is curved toward the seat post end, the new 2024 on giants website and as shown on other sides is straight. Which is which, why are their different versions? thanks for a great review.

is the bottom bracket press fit or threaded?

nice review,thanks for bring up the good deal, i just check lbs and see a deal on this xr but in 27.5 inches wheel, is the 29 and 27.5 use the same frame?

Dsx 1 dsx 2 dsx 3 Which is best bang for buck

Will this work for someone 6'2" and a 35 inch inseam?

I am getting one of these bikes. Can you tell me, does the frame have a chainstay kickstand mount?

Bought one (size S) last week. You're right, being a roadie, I felt the reach to be quite short. I replaced the original 70mm stem with an 80mm one to be more stretched. Honestly, a 90mm stem may feel even better, but I'll stick with the 80mm for now. Otherwise it makes a great all-rounder bike!

Awesome review. Thanks for the upload. May I please ask, would these rims take a maxxis re-fuse 40c tire?

What it be ok to put deore xt hubs on my bike are just leave it alone

I have one but I thought it had a 34 fork but I check mind it's a 36 fork

Just learned there's a 2025 version now. Why does giant do this? We're getting screwed in the USA because we can only buy the 3 year old ones. I like giant but now considering other brands. Why should the end user be punished because the us distributors don't know how to market and sell their inventory?

What is it? It is Marin's answer to the Chamois Hagar and Stigmata at a better price. I want one.

Can you ship to Texas? Can I email you and give you my zip code for a shipping quote?

Best review online thank you bikebros.

How would that cassette go in hilly country.

This bike is on my bucket list as my next one to purchase. Thanks for the comprehensive review of the bike.

If it had higher riser bars and you wanted it more aggressive you could just flip the stem.

Thanks for posting the video! I am interested in purchasing a Giant Yukon 2 this winter. Since this video was posted 4 years ago, perhaps the following question is no longer relevant: With the Yukon 2, are the chainring and crank arm set two separate components, allowing for the option to switch to a larger chainring while keeping the same crank arm set?

Thanks for the sizing tips. I'm in the market for one, and I would need an XS to get close to reach of my medium Poseidon. (And it would still be a little longer!) That's insane. Marin needs to figure that out. If you are under 5' 8" you probably don't fit this bike.

What is the right size for someone who is 5 feet 11 inches tall?

Legend! I was looking for some info on this pedal. Stoked to find my old neighbour on the knowledgeable end of this!

Appreciate the info!

someone can advise me with wich new disc brake calipers can I upgrade it? cause the tektro sucks!

The brake rotors are 6 bolts ?

I used to ride an XL Yeti 575 (2008) with some sweet kit in Bend Oregon and it was awesome. The HT's are nice to keep the rides shorter like sub 20 miles picking your lines better and carving those corners. The Yeti was a different story I could plow through stuff the HT could not and the frame was the same price as this complete build. My concern with this build is the Fork how is it for heavier riders like 200-250lbs? I have gained smoe weight, more than I wish to state here hahahaha and the Yeti was maxed out with the RP23 in the rear and the Fox 34 up front. How is this fork for rigidity? Is it pretty stifff, non flexy, does the compression work well along with the lockout? The Dropper post, is there a weight limit to that too?

Excellent review but you left me wondering one thing, how does the rear hub sound?!

Thank you for this review. I'm hoping to upgrade my entry level hardtail ( £400 in UK ) in the new year. Was thinking of getting the Fathom 29, staying with HT rather than FS, because I'm 58. If I "send it" over a jump and wipe out, it's gonna hurt! I prefer smooth trials / berms, but ride over rough stuff sometimes, so maybe getting the Stance will give me a more versatile bike. If XC bikes are using this rear set up, hopefully it will still climb and accelerate like a HT. I'll definitely test ride one now. Many thanks. 👍🙂

What an amazing and detailed review! Thanks!

Crankset specs please.. Thank you

I am the new owner of a Soul 10 and yeah, great bike. What surprised me most is the great road manners in the daily commute; snooth ride, awesome brakes, good gear range. It's a keeper 100%

I'm getting mine in few days to come.. It's larkspur 1, planning to change the crank, any recommendations, thanks in advance.

Clipless pedals are a lie right out of the dictionary.

Hello, thank you for this educational video. This is fine bike and one of the best in it’s category what you get for money. Usually gravel bikes get shitty cable brakes, this one has hydraulic ones, looks fine and has 1x transmission and for me the most important, it has flat bar. You have subscribe and like from me 👍 Well I have let’s say similar bike wven it was totally different whe I bought it new. So it’s brand Cube, model Nature EXC 2019. It came with 3x10 and I converted it to 1x12. Got better wheels, DT Swiss, also DT 350 hubs, set up tubeless, Deore XT brakes with 180mm discs, dropper and air fork with 100mm. Well this is now totally different bike I can go were ever I want, also I can climb any climb I see. Basically I built myself well equipped flatbar gravel bike even before gravel bacame popular.

Link for the fenders, tia!

I want the trance x sx but sadly it is not in the giant warehouse and closest store with it is 800 miles away.

very good review, thanks.

Hello, excellent setup. I'm between this bike, the Marin Headlands 2, the Commencal 365 SIGNATURE and the Salsa Cutthroat C Rival GX AXS Transmission. The Salsa is the most expensive of the three. What I don't really like about the Commencal is that the frame is made of aluminum and they say that I'm going to feel the vibrations a lot and it's not going to be comfortable like the Marin and the Salsa because of their carbon frames. I wanted a gravel bike. I want to start gravel. Of the three, the Salsa is the one I like the most, only the price is more expensive.

Schould i buy the marin rift zone 2 or a canyon spectral 5

•2022 Stance 2 update. After owning this bike for 6 months now all i got to say is that for this being an "ENTRY LEVEL" Full Suspension MTB, it can take some serious abuse. I do run slightly higher pressures on my suspension and thats due to me liking to do jumps and drops with big compressions I know its a 120mm/130mm travel but tbh it feels more like a 130mm/140mm but that can be due to it having the bigger 29er wheel and not a 27.5 wheel. It also rolls over everything so much easier compared to my friends that ride 27.5 bikes that are always telling me how much faster/easier my bike seems to be on the trails in general. I must note that i have upgraded parts on this bike like ive gone with bigger 203mm/180mm brake rotors along with sintered brake pads, ive also upgraded to ALL the PNW Components except for the PNW dropper post as i still have the giant dropper post on the bike as it sill works just fine and until it craps out on me i will be switching to the PNW dropper post. I also switched tires over to the Continental Kryptotals in the enduro soft casing and that made a huge improvement on the grip and rolling speeds. Sorry if this is all over the place but with the small upgrades ive done to the bike, Im riding trails hitting features that my friends with more expensive $3,xxx+ bikes are doing and surprising my friends that my "CHEAPER" MTB can keep up with theirs. Im now getting to the point 'Skills Wise" where im either upgrading my suspension to longer travel suspension or im buying an Enduro/freeride MTB as ive figured out im more of a freeride type of MTBer.

I'm interested in this bike for precisely the reasons you highlighted, it's a very cost effective and basic bike with good bones that can be customized into exactly the thing I want. Personally I'm thinking of putting in Surley Moloko bar and doing an electric mid-drive conversion.

Please How to know which Flip Chip Bolt is compatible with my bike cube Stereo 120 HPA Race model 2016?

I Have a Giant Fathom of 2017 vintage - All the so-called experts and experienced riders praise and bitch about various bikes - The difference between a 1 and 2 model and different years etc. - Chaps it's the components that make the difference. My Fathom frame is no different from a fathom 2 to a fathom 1 - All manufacturers knock out bikes cheaper with cheaper components, wake up chaps! - I love the frame geometry etc. - I upgraded to Shimano XT and a narrow wide tooth chain ring, never a chain drop! now I have an awesome bike! you get what you pay for! - I'm a Brit expat living in the Philippines, my Fathom is perfect for the condition of the roads here in the sticks, BTW I'm 71 and don't ride competitively; it’s my only transport, exercise and fun! - This bike is a much better set of components than last year.

I'm between this Headlands 2 2024 Marin and the 2024 Salsa Cutthroat C Rival GX AXS Transmission

Bought it in 2024 April...huge difference after my 2010 Merida one twenty 26". Geometry, suspension, handle...its a WAY different world..and there is a big sale at the moment for the bike in the giant webshops (Europe market) Some upgrade in the last months.... after the personal favourite grip, seat change the "weakest" point is the factory brake disc (I'm 100+ kg)...change for 203mm/180mm shimano RT86 XT ice tech rotors with metal pads...the original deore/alivio 4 piston brakes working way much better for me :) Brutal bike ;)
