Electric Assist System
At the center of the Explore E+ 2 STA is the SyncDrive Sport motor, powered by Yamaha.
The motor produces up to 70Nm of torque, giving the rider additional assistance when accelerating, climbing hills, or carrying luggage. The mid-drive configuration also keeps the motor's weight centralized around the bike's bottom-bracket area.
The system is controlled through the RideControl Ergo interface and provides an integrated electric-assist experience rather than relying on a separate hub motor.
500Wh EnergyPak Smart Battery
The bike uses a 500Wh EnergyPak Smart integrated battery.
The battery is housed within the frame, giving the Explore E+ 2 STA a cleaner appearance while keeping the power source protected within the bike's structure.
Battery range will depend on factors such as rider weight, assistance level, terrain, temperature, tire pressure, wind, and riding style. A 500Wh capacity provides a useful balance between battery capacity and overall bike practicality.
Giant's specification documentation also lists compatibility with the EnergyPak Plus range extender on applicable versions.
RideDash Evo Display
The RideDash Evo display provides access to important riding information from the E+ system.
It works alongside the RideControl interface to help the rider monitor the bike's electrical assistance and ride data without needing a separate external cycling computer.
Comfortable Step-Through Design
The STA configuration is designed around easy mounting and dismounting.
The frame is especially practical for riders who prefer a lower step-over area when stopping frequently, navigating urban environments, or carrying additional equipment.
The upright trekking-bike layout also provides a comfortable riding position for longer recreational rides and everyday transportation.
Front Suspension
The Explore E+ 2 STA uses an SR Suntour NEX E25 NLO DS fork with 63mm of travel.
The suspension fork helps absorb vibration and smaller impacts from uneven pavement, bike paths, compact gravel, and other relatively smooth mixed surfaces.
It adds comfort without turning the Explore E+ into a dedicated mountain bike.
700C Wheels and 45mm Tires
The bike rolls on 700C Giant eX2 aluminum rims fitted with Giant Crosscut Gravel 2 700x45c tires.
The 45mm tire width provides a larger air volume than a typical narrow road tire, helping improve comfort, grip, and stability on rougher roads.
The tires are specified as tubeless-ready and feature reflective elements for increased visibility.
This setup makes the bike suitable for:
City streets
Paved roads
Bike paths
Fitness riding
Commuting
Hard-packed gravel
Light touring
Shimano 9-Speed Drivetrain
The Explore E+ 2 STA uses a Shimano 9-speed drivetrain.
The system combines a Shimano Altus shifter, Shimano Alivio 9-speed rear derailleur, and an 11-36T cassette. The 42T crankset provides a simple single-chainring configuration.
The wide 11-36T cassette gives the bike lower gearing for climbs while retaining higher gears for faster riding on flatter roads.
The single-chainring setup also keeps the drivetrain straightforward and reduces the need for front shifting.
Hydraulic Disc Brakes
The Explore E+ 2 STA is equipped with Tektro HD-M275 hydraulic disc brakes.
The current specification lists 180mm front and 160mm rear brake rotors, providing strong and controlled braking for a trekking e-bike that may be carrying additional rider or cargo weight.
Hydraulic disc brakes are also well suited to changing weather and mixed riding conditions because braking force is applied at the rotor rather than the wheel rim.
Integrated Lighting
The bike comes equipped with Axa BlueLine lighting.
The specification lists a 30-lux Axa BlueLine Steady E6 front light and an Axa BlueLine Steady E6 rear light.
Integrated lighting makes the Explore E+ 2 STA practical for commuting and everyday transportation when visibility conditions change.
MIK-Compatible Rear Rack
A MIK rear rack is included, providing a convenient platform for carrying compatible bags and baskets.
The rack is especially useful for commuters and touring riders who need additional carrying capacity for groceries, work equipment, clothing, or other essentials.
Giant lists the rack as MIK system bag and basket compatible.
Practical Cockpit and Contact Points
The bike uses a Giant Connect Riser handlebar measuring 690mm wide, paired with Giant Contact Ergo Max Plus grips.
The riser-bar configuration supports the upright trekking position, while the ergonomic grips are designed to provide a comfortable hand position during longer rides.
A Selle Royal Vivo Ergo Moderate saddle and Giant 30.9mm aluminum seatpost complete the main rider contact points.
Versatile Trekking Geometry
The Explore E+ 2 STA is designed around stability and predictable handling rather than aggressive road-racing geometry.
The frame uses a 69.5-degree head angle, 455mm chainstays, and 700C wheels. Giant lists the bike in S, M, L, and XL sizes.
This combination provides a stable platform for commuting, recreational riding, touring, and carrying additional cargo.

Ideal Uses
Daily Commuting
The electric motor, integrated lights, rear rack, and comfortable geometry make the Explore E+ 2 STA well suited to everyday transportation.
Fitness Riding
Electric assistance allows riders to control the level of effort while maintaining the benefits of active cycling.
Touring
The wide tires, rack compatibility, broad gearing, and 500Wh battery make the bike suitable for recreational touring.
Urban Riding
The upright position, hydraulic brakes, integrated lighting, and step-through configuration are practical for frequent city riding.
Light Gravel
The 700x45c tires and front suspension provide additional comfort and control on suitable hard-packed gravel and mixed surfaces.
