E-bikes are hot stuff right now – we’re seeing more and more of them on the trails and on the commute to work. They’re opening up the world of cycling to a bunch of new people, but they’re also giving experienced folks a whole new perspective on their riding. With an e-bike, you open up a world of new possibilities.
An e-MTB brings the fun back into your trail riding, with terrain you used to avoid becoming a new playground. A little assistance every now and then means you have more energy left for longer, harder days in the saddle and gives you the strength and power to explore new places you’ve struggled to reach before.
Giant have been at the forefront of mountain biking for a long time. Way back in 1995 they supported the legendary John Tomac in the Giant World Cup mountain bike team. They’ve been in the game 40 years – they know a thing or two about what makes a good bike.
Boost your ride
With the Fathom E+ bike, Giant have produced a versatile trail-ready hardtail with secret powers. At first glance you’d be hard-pressed to even see it was an e-MTB – this is one smooth looker and an even smoother performer. The lightweight ALUXX SL frame, trail-friendly geometry and 120mm suspension fork delivers a responsive ride on everything from mild XC to more challenging technical trails. The SyncDrive Pro motor helps you conquer the trails in a whole new way, and you can adjust it exactly how you want. At Bicycle Chain we have the 27.5†model in stock, but it’s also available in 29er geometry should that suit your riding better. Come down and check it out.
The Giant Stance E+ is a performance machine ready to master challenging terrain with ease and style – the full suspension e-MTB for true trail junkies. With 120mm of rear travel and 130mm up front, along with nimble 27.5†wheels and a lightweight, stiff ALUXX SL aluminium frame, the Stance E+ helps beginner and intermediate riders experience off-road e-bike riding at its best. The EnergyPak battery and SyncDrive Sport motor with 80Nm of torque is there with plenty of oomph for when you need it, so you can extend your riding like never before.
Give me more!
The Giant Trance E+ is the kind of e-MTB we love, one of those bikes designed to put a massive grin on your face, one for those of us who like things a little more adrenaline filled and aren’t afraid of gnarly roots and rock gardens. More is the word here – more speed up the climbs, more fun on the singletrack and more freedom to extend your adventures.
With a massive 80Nm of torque from the SyncDrive Pro motor, 140mm of rear travel and 150mm up front, this is the way to tackle technical singletrack trails while smiling all the way. The EnergyPak battery is cleanly integrated into the downtube of the lightweight ALUXX SL aluminium frame, and with frame geometry perfectly in tune with the 27.5†wheels you’ve got all you need to rail around berms and flowy trails. Giant have worked alongside the clever Californian dudes at Praxis Works to produce extra narrow cranks, reducing the ‘Q factor’ – the distance between your feet on the pedals feels the same as on a regular mountain bike despite the motor. You’ll forget it’s an e-MTB until you need to remember.
If you’re still to discover what the e-MTB buzz is all about then get yourselves down to see us. Once you’re plugged in, there’s no going back.
