Expirience with the Giant TRANCE 1

Ludwig Döhl A classic among trail bikes. The Maestro rear end feels extremely plush on the trail. Thanks to a moderate 65,5 degree head tube angle, the handling is pleasantly balanced. The moderate seating position is likely to be the perfect middle ground for the majority of bikers. A good argument for the Giant TRANCE 1: Such a successful geometry is usually only available if you have deep pockets. With 25 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship.
