Expirience with the Giant TRANCE 2

Ludwig Döhl A classic among trail bikes. The Maestro rear end feels extremely plush on the trail. You have no idea if you prefer high speed stability or playful handling? Then you can´t go wrong with the TRANCE 2. It´s handling is pleasantly balanced. When sitting in the saddle, the posture is neither overly sporty, nor uber-comfortable. This should make the Trailbike of Giant suite the taste of most bikers. The Giant Trailbike shows what its capable of in the downhill. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Giant is behind its products.
