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. With a flat 65,5 degree head tube angle and a long reach, the geometry corresponds to the current trend. The sporty riding position allows for very effective pedaling. In the price range under 3000 Euro, other manufacturers tend to install higher quality shifting systems. 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. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Giant is behind its products.
