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 Fully gives the rider lots of confidence in challenging terrain. The sporty riding position allows for very effective pedaling. In the price range under 4500 Euro, other manufacturers tend to install higher quality shifting systems. For 3299 Euro , competitors usually deliver geometries with less fun potential. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 25 years warranty Giant sets the bar high!
