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. Especially in extremely steep terrain, this combination makes for smooth handling. The combination of a long top tube and low stack value will make you sit sporty on the Trance X 1. For trail lovers, one point dominates: the Trance X 1 scores in the decent with an extremely good geometry, a high-quality suspension and grippy tires. With 25 years the warranty is another neat feature.
