Giant Trance X 29 2 - Metallic Black - 2022

Conquer Chunky Rock Gardens and Technical Climbs

This hard-charging trail bike is engineered to adapt seamlessly to any terrain, offering you unparalleled confidence and control on all types of singletrack.

Designed to enhance your ride on the toughest trails, this versatile trail bike features a lightweight, strong, and stiff aluminum chassis with 29er-specific geometry. The updated Maestro rear suspension delivers 135mm of active rear travel, perfectly paired with a 150mm fork. The Advanced Forged Composite rocker arm includes a flip chip for adjustable frame geometry, allowing you to select steeper or slacker headtube/seattube angles and choose between a 30mm or 40mm bottom bracket drop to tailor the handling to your riding style and terrain.

Key Performance Factors

29er Confidence and Control: Equipped with 29-inch wheels, this bike is optimized for rolling over technical terrain with balance and stability. It provides increased momentum on tricky climbs and the confidence to fly through fast singletrack descents. The added clearance accommodates up to 2.5-inch tires.

Progressive Suspension: Featuring Maestro rear suspension with a trunnion mount shock, this bike boasts a longer stroke and smoother feel. With 135mm of full rear-wheel travel (and 150mm up front), it includes an Advanced Forged Composite upper rocker arm for enhanced stiffness and strength, while reducing overall frame weight.

Adjustable Geometry: A flip chip allows you to customize your ride by adjusting the headtube and seattube angles, as well as the bottom bracket height. Opt for the low position (65.5° headtube angle / 77.2° seattube angle and 40mm BB drop) for fast, open terrain, or the high position (66.2° headtube angle / 77.9° seattube angle and 30mm BB drop) for slower, tighter singletrack.
