Nah mine's the 2021 29er same as yours. It's the 2020 that has 27.5, but the components look the same including the 500wh battery.

Oh sh*t my bad I got you two mixed up. Yeah, I think the 2020 has the 400wh battery
 
Lovely bikes, congrats! Just a question for this model so I don't open up a new topic if you don't mind?
I have found this bike used for a good price and I was wondering if the Monarch R rear shock can be replaced with a RL or RT? I plan to do a lot of km's on tarmac before hitting the trails and it seems like the Monarch R doesn't have a compression adjustment?
Thanks!

I am on the 2020 and ride to the trails, i do not have a car.
Zero problem. I never tought of improving the suspension.
Just like any bike, proper tires PSI and adjust suspension, that is it.

You enjoying it?

Loving it MrMarzocchi. I have never been a serious mountain biker but enjoyed getting out from time to time. Since getting the Stance I look forward to getting out as much as work life allows. So great finding new tracks near me that I didn’t know existed.

A couple days after I got mine, I did my mate for some fun Intermediate downhill ride - it handles quite nice (before and after pix - dustorama hahaha) would've been nice to have the dropper post but it was manageable, climbing is not a problem anymore!
I really like this bike :p

That is a neoprene/velcro calf brace I found on Amazon. I use it to wrap around/cover the bottom of the battery where it meets the frame.
Keeps the water and mud/junk out of that cavity.

Maybe adding 2 more it might help the battery on minus 25 days?
How much was it?
 
Help please. I recently got my small 2021Stance E+. I am done fine tuning my fit.
To fine tune my fork i would like to know if it comes with 0 or 1 or 2 spacers.
At only 140 pounds i suspect just adjusting air pressure i am not doing all i can
to personalize the adjustment. I do a few small drops, no jumps. I suspect it could be better
at dealing with small roots/rocks. I am happy with the rear.
Thanks.

I wish I could tell you. I've never taken mine apart, just used air. I can only recommend asking LBS/Giant.

I did take the top cap off and there are no spacers for this fork so it can't be adjusted

Oh great on that battery cover! I was about to make one from an old wet suit leg. After finding water in mine from a muddy ride I've been taping mine up. Seems like a really bad design on the battery/frame interface. Does Giant not know of any automobile engineers who've solved this problem a million times before in cars that drive all winter through salt spray? It is also a good idea to make a rear fender stub that goes from the bottom pivot up to the top linkage. That prevents splatter of the frame bearings and motor from the rear wheel.
