    Talon vs Stance e+2

    Today I pickup up the orange 2022 stance e+2. The bike shop gave me a little more discount so I got it for $3380, $220 cheaper than the 2023 model. The bike dealer did inform me that I Have 30 days to return for full refund and that they didn’t have a status yet on why the gray 2023 model hadn’t...

    Talon vs Stance e+2

    i Was going with a large frame. When I first got the talon, I felt like I was pushing down too much on the bars. I moved the seat forward, put all the spacers under the stem and got some gel gloves. all that made it a lot better

    Talon vs Stance e+2

    Looking at the geometry, which bike will have a more comfortable riding position? I’m not planning on doing aggressive riding. I’m 54 years old and just wanted the suspension for a more comfortable experience. I noticed the reach is 1.4” greater on the 2023 model. Not sure if that means it will...

    Talon vs Stance e+2

    Good video, after watching i can see one thing that might have cut costs on the new model which is the battery is held in with a torx screw instead of a key. I like the torx idea better as it’s simpler. bike shop called me today and told me they are getting the orange one first and then a few...

    Talon vs Stance e+2

    Rubinstein, do you know if Giant cheaped out on anything in the new 2023 model to be able to offer the upgraded specs for only slightly more money or do you think that the orange one was just inflated because it was during the Covid bike rush? Sorry to ask all these questions but I like to know...

    Talon vs Stance e+2

    So im Still undecided between the two, I like the better specs of the newer 2023 bike and also like the color screen although I already saw a little fog in the screen of my one month old talon which has never gotten wet but also like the color and the Fact that my kickstand fits on the 2022...

    Talon vs Stance e+2

    I wonder is the newer gray version will accept the ks18 kickstand that I removed from the talon. Also wonder if the battery on the new version can be changed both on and off the bike as I plan on removing battery during colder months

    Talon vs Stance e+2

    I like the orange better but I like the ride control dash better on the gray one, or i should say, the ride control dash is the one that I’m used to on the talon i see that both bikes have front thru axles and the orange one has a rear quick release, does the gray one have quick release or thru...

    Talon vs Stance e+2

    I recently purchased a 2022 Talon e-bike and while it has done everything I need it to, a part of me is attracted to that burnt orange stance with the rear suspension. I have 30 days to return the talon towards the stance but I’m trying to justify another $1,300 . Please help

    Giant Stance E+1 or Trek Powerfly FS4

    So, I think I’m gonna go with the Giant stance. The local shop that sells a lot of ‘emtb brands including giant has been very helpful with lots of test riding between me and my wife. Trek dealer has nothing in stock to ride and can’t even tell me if they can get me a leftover Powerfly in my...

    Giant Stance E+1 or Trek Powerfly FS4

    Irie, I believe it only has the 500 watt battery and it is marked down to $4100. Should I be concerned about the age of the battery?

    Giant Stance E+1 or Trek Powerfly FS4

    Thanks for the input on the new Giant Stance but I was looking at staying in the low $4k range since my other half is probably going to want one too. Right now both bikes I inquired about are around $4200

    Giant Stance E+1 or Trek Powerfly FS4

    I have narrowed down my search to the Giant Stance E+1 or the Trek Powerfly FS4 and was looking for advice between the two. I plan on riding mostly paved bike paths, dirt fire roads and very light single track And I’m approx. 250 lbs. These two bikes seem pretty close in specs with the exception...
