Vangar Posted July 23, 2014 Share So it seems the Giant 2015 lineup is now on the website, some interisting changes, and as predicted heavily invested in 27.5(NO WHEELSIZE DEBATES! ): http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-us/bike-finder/men/offroad/?level=all One of the highlights for me $1500 for a full suspension bike with not bad components, the new Stance: http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-us/bikes/model/stance.27.5.2/18767/76215/#specificationshttp://www.giant-bicycles.com/_generated/_generated_us/bikes/models/images/800/2015/Stance-27-5-2-Black-Cyan.jpg Also, anybody looking for the black on black Trance 27.5 2 should grab one now, new color scheme seems to be on the way: http://www.giant-bicycles.com/_generated/_generated_us/bikes/models/images/800/2015/Trance-27-5-2-Black.jpg G e r h a r d Odendaal and Dan Dob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJacques Posted July 23, 2014 Share I was looking for something in between the Anthem (100mm) and Trance (140) Geometry looks good as well. Edit: I see it doesn't use Maestro suspension, but something they call FlexPoint, which seems to be a single pivot based design.

Yup saw that as well, there is also the new Anthem SX which also seems to fit in between the Normal Anthem and the Trance. 120mm travel, but a bit more expensive. http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-us/bikes/model/anthem.sx.27.5/18755/76189/#specifications Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(Deon) Posted July 23, 2014 Share Edit: I see it doesn't use Maestro suspension, but something they call FlexPoint, which seems to be a single pivot based design.Now that's quite interesting. I wonder if it conforms to the accepted laws of physics? Vangar and nonky 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwan Kemp Posted July 23, 2014 Share Edit: I see it doesn't use Maestro suspension, but something they call FlexPoint, which seems to be a single pivot based design. Only on the Stance. Rest is still Maestro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now there's the Anthem, Anthem SX, Trance, Trance SX, and Reign. Hoping maybe a Reign SX as well!? Then there's the budget one with the new suspension design and pretty good spec for the price.

If someone wants to spec a fork that costs 10k more than a SID, with arguably the same characteristics, they can spec it as an upgrade and then still be 50k cheaper than the s works... fanievb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it proves to be a good fork them you'll probably see it on a very selected top line xtc advanced. At the most.

Bizkit031 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Lets wait and see what the reviews are like on the RS1. Too early to speculate. There is a review on Mountain Bike. Oh and it was fitted to a Camber. Edited July 23, 2014 by MariusKlokie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
