And we revolutionized off-road performance bikes with Maestro Suspension. This bike gets an SR Suntour XCT30 HLO coil-sprung fork with a Shimano 2×10 drivetrain with an Acera derailleur. Here we get the same wheels, tyres and finishing schwinn bicycles kit as the rest of the range. This is the base model Stance and it has much the same kit as the Stance 29 2, but it’s got 650b wheels with a Maxxis Rekon 2.6″ WT, EXO tyre on the front and a Maxxis Ardent Race 2.6″ WT, EXO at the rear.
The brakes are Shimano instead of Tektro and the bottom bracket is Praxis. The seat tube angle is also slightly slacker at 74° instead mongoose bmx bike of 75° on the 29″ wheel version. The Stance 29 1 comes with a RockShox Recon Silver RL with a Monarch R shock from the same brand.
I was slightly surprised and disappointed that it still appears to be the same frame, in fact entirely the same bike with different paint job as I had unearthed a rumour that the frame would change, although possibly not visually. 5th year using same frame, they were originally due to update after 3 years as I understood it due to their development cycles. I’ve just realised I had downloaded a copy of the PDF for the Giant TCR Advanced Pro 2 (2020 model), if the road.cc team want to have a sneak preview? It’s still not on Giant’s websites, I think someone hit a publish button when they shouldn’t have. The Propel Advanced 2 Disc (above, £2,699) comes with Shimano’s mid-level 105 groupset while the Propel Advanced 1 Disc (£3,499) is a Shimano Ultegra bike.
The £1,099 Contend AR 3 (above) steps up a level to Shimano Sora and the AR 2 (£1,349) is a grade higher again with Shimano Tiagra. The Contend AR uses a similar ALUXX SL-Grade aluminium frame and full-carbon fork but with far greater tyre clearance. Whereas the Contend SL bikes come with 28mm tyres and have space for a maximum size of 34mm, the Contend ARs are fitted with 32mm tyres and have space for 40mm. The idea of the larger tyres is to offer all-road/backroad/rough road capability.
