Expirience with the Giant Trance X 1

Ludwig Döhl More travel than the normal Trance, but still more suitable for touring than the Reign Enduro. The Trance X 1 tries to combine the best of two worlds. Not to be sneezed at: The well-functioning Maestro rear triangle. With 14,2 kg weight for the complete bike, the Giant Fully joins the lighter bikes that you can buy for under under 4500 Euro. Most bikes in its class are heavier. The combination of a 65,5 degree head tube angle and a long wheelbase calms down the handling of the Giant, even if you ride fast. If you want to get ahead efficiently and quickly, you will welcome the sporty riding position. Another strong argument needs to be mentioned: the coherent geometry and the grippy tires will make you smile all the way to the bottom of the descent. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Giant puts a lot of trust in its products.
