The Giant Trance 29 3 is a sprightly cross-country weapon made for mile munching and groomed singletrack. It quickly runs out of travel when the going gets rough, though, and some of the spec choices of this base level model are a bit under par.

Wil delivers us his longterm review of the 2019 Giant Trance 29 – a very 'un-Giant like' 29er trail bike with progressive geometry
Feb 2019
Giant nailed it with the new Trance 29er; it is an impressive revamp to their trail bike line-up that was begging for a 29er. With a stout 115mm of travel out the back, 130mm up front and a nice relaxed shape it’s going to be very popular. Let’s talk about our new Trance test bike! …
Brilliant trail bike.
Smooth and comfortable.
Steers singletrack with ease.
Yet to get comfortable with fork and shock settings.

The Trance brings category-defying, trail-ripping fun in a snappy, short-travel package.
Dec 2018 · Daniel Sapp
Is 115 millimeters of rear travel enough for the trails surrounding Whistler? We found out aboard the new Giant Trance.
Supple, effective suspension performance
Parts spec won't hold anyone back
Progressive head tube angle & reach for the category
DVO dampers not proven (yet)
Uncomfortable seat
Seat tube angle could be steeper
