The model suffix X means that the Trance X 2 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. If you ride super fast on tricky singletrails, you will love the calm handling of the Giant Trance X 2. Compared with what the market offers, the seating position is neither super sporty, nor uber-comfortable. In the saddle of the Trance X 2, you´ll enjoy a moderate position. Looking at only the shifting system of the rest of the bikes you have to say that other manufacturers in the price range under 4500 Eurouse higher quality components. Finally, here is another killer argument: in price range in alpine terrain, the Giant is one of the best models in the in alpine terrain category. The guarantee promise of 25 years ensures trust.
