Expirience with the Giant TRANCE X 2

Ludwig Döhl More travel than the normal Trance, but still more suitable for touring than the Reign Enduro. The TRANCE X 2 tries to combine the best of two worlds. Not to be sneezed at: The well-functioning Maestro rear triangle. The flat 65,5 degree head tube angle of the Giant All Mountain gives the rider lots of confidence in challenging terrain. The seating position is sporty. With shifting systems, other manufacturers in the price segment under 4500 Euro continue to top up to the shelf. But let´s not forget: The geometry shows the know-how of the Giant engineers. For 3299 Euro , other manufacturers deliver geometries with less potential. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Giant is behind its products.
