Expirience with the Giant Trance X 1

Ludwig Döhl The model suffix X means that the Trance X 1 is significantly more downhill-oriented than its Trance siblings without the X. With 150 mm and the excellently functioning Maestro rear suspension, Giant aims to tackle even the gnarliest trails. The combination of a 64,4 degree head tube angle and a long wheelbase calms down the handling of the Giant Trance X 1, even if you ride fast. For all of those who love a good incline, the moderate seating position of the in alpine terrain should be considered pleasant. Trail lovers should nevertheless be convinced by this argument: in the downhill, the coherent geometry ensures you´ll have a wide smile in your face. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 25 years warranty Giant sets the bar high!
