Giant Maestro Technology: Engineering Better Flow
Giant's Maestro Suspension is the backbone of their full suspension range. By using four pivot points and two linkages that work together to create a single floating pivot, Giant has created a system that is sensitive to small bumps yet remains firm under pedalling load. It self-regulates without the need for a lockout, keeping you in the power band on Scottish climbs and fully active on the descents that follow.
The range spans from the short-travel Stance 29 — an ideal introduction to full suspension riding — through the trail-focused Trance X and Anthem X Advanced SL, up to the enduro-spec Reign. For those wanting electric assistance, the Reign Advanced E+ and Stance E+ bring SyncDrive motor power to the full suspension platform.

FAQs
-
How much travel do I need for a Giant full suspension mountain bike?
The amount of travel depends on your riding style. For cross-country efficiency, the Giant Anthem X Advanced SL with 100–110mm is ideal. For general trail riding, the Stance 29 (120mm) and Trance X (140mm) offer a balanced platform. If you are racing enduro or visiting bike parks, the Reign (160–170mm) provides the travel for the biggest hits. Electric riders should look at the Reign Advanced E+ or Stance E+.
-
What is the difference between the Giant Stance 29 and the Trance X?
The Stance 29 is a short-travel (120mm) trail bike designed as an accessible, capable entry point to full suspension riding. It uses ALUXX aluminium and geometry tuned for trail confidence without being overly aggressive. The Trance X offers more travel (140mm), steeper descents, and is available in Advanced-Grade composite at higher spec levels — it is designed for riders who want to push harder on technical terrain.
-
Can I run a mullet wheel setup on Giant full suspension bikes?
Yes — select models in the Giant full suspension range support a mullet setup (29" front, 27.5" rear), particularly the Trance X and Reign. This configuration lowers the bottom bracket slightly and sharpens the handling on tight switchbacks, while retaining the rollover advantage of the 29" front wheel. Contact Sprockets Cycles for compatibility details on your specific model.
-
How often should I service the Maestro suspension pivots?
Giant recommend inspecting and re-greasing the Maestro pivot bearings every 50–100 hours of riding, depending on conditions. Scottish wet-weather riding accelerates wear, so an annual service is advisable as a minimum. Sprockets Cycles offers a full suspension service including bearing replacement and pivot inspection — call 01563 526800 to book.
