Sometimes everything aligns and you float through a nasty rock garden. Or up a rutted climb. Make sometimes, all the time with a Trance X.
Product Features
At the core of the trail-devouring Trance X, lies an ALUXX SL frameset-the lightest alloy 5-inch travel full suspension in Giant’s history. Radically FluidFormed™ and using the latest, lightweight co-pivot design, the Trance X frameset pushes aluminum full suspension bike technology to new limits of weight, strength and performance.
OverDrive headtube for maximum front end stiffness without weight penalty
Stable 69.5/73.5 head-tube/seat-tube geometry for outstanding trail riding/enduro racing characteristics
Post-style rear brake mounts for powerful, accurate stopping (Trance X only)
Integrated PowerCore bottom bracket for superior frame stiffness (Trance X only)
MegaDrive Downtube/toptube for unparalleled front-end stiffness

Great all round bike! I ride a lot of DH myself and taking this out I thought it might be a bit too much of a light-weight... how wrong I was! Rode it at Rotorua on the shuttles as well as pedally tracks and had a blast. Enough travel to be able to ride hard but still easy enough to go up on. Shorter stem, wider bars and some new tyres and this thing would be epic!

This is my pick of trail bikes that Giant have for this year, 5 inches of travel front and rear means it eats up any bumps, not super fast on the up hills but you will make it up on the downs, I put a shorter stem on this beast it now rides heaps better.

Stoked with this bike .Just upgraded from a 2007 trance and am amazed with the improvements they have made its a super stiff frame matched with great suspension all i had to do was chuck on some wider bars and a shorter stem and i was ready for any trail

Definite best pick of the bunch of the Giant range this year in terms of value for money. Climbs like a mountain goat and descends like a bike with way more travel. I've thrown on a KS I900r adjustable seat post and a shorter stem and this bike is the most versatile bike I own. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a new trail bike, you won't regret it!

My new toy. This bike is fantastic because it is both fun going up hill making it nice and easy and light, but also way too much fun coming down with the 5 inch of travel. All you need is a good massage and beer after a day out on this bike.

Took this baby out for a spin the other day and was blown away with it's versatility. It climbs like a dream, and crushes all the annoying little bumps in the trail that like to buck you off. If you are looking for a bike to do anything with... look no further!

You won't find a better all-around trail bike for your money. The completely revised frame has made this established weapon of choice for trails world wide even faster and more fun to ride. Give the Demo at R&R a go and see for yourself.

Lucky enough to ride this bike last night in Neson on the R&R Sport Rush Trail. I couldn't have got down this trail without the 5 inch travel on this sweet rig.

Just brought this bike and I love it. Took it away for Labour weekend and had a blast around national park and Taupo. Felt awesome down hill. I would highly recommend this to anyone!
