Giant Trance 29 3

Jan 2020 · Jeremy Benson

The Giant Trance 29 3 is an excellent trail bike, and our Top Pick for Short Travel in this price range. This 29er may only have 115mm of rear-wheel travel...

Highs
  • Energetic playful feel

  • Lighter weight

  • 12-speed drivetrain

  • Modern trail bike geometry

Lows
  • Fork needed immediate service

  • Can be overwhelmed in more aggressive terrain

Giant Trance 29 3 review

Dec 2019

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.

Giant Trance E+ 1 Pro Review

Nov 2019

Price: $5565.00 | Model Year: 2019 | A beautiful full-suspension electric mountain bike with quality components, excellent warranty and dealer support, and four frame sizes to accommodate riders of all sizes

Observations
  • A beautiful full-suspension electric mountain bike with quality components, excellent warranty and dealer support, and four frame sizes to accommodate riders of all sizes

  • Color-matched components look great along with the seamless downtube integration of the battery and internally routed cabling

  • Huge range of 11 to 50 teeth on a 1x12 SRAM drivetrain, proprietary Giant SyncDrive Pro mid-drive motor and powerful SRAM Code R hydraulic disc brakes

  • Battery charging port is in the path of the left crank arm, and charging the battery off the bike requires a separate dongle that could get lost

Giant Trance E+ 3 Pro review - MBR

Aug 2019 · Paul Burwell

The “+” denotes 2.8in tyres, the “Pro” tag indicates SyncDrive Pro motor, so the entry-level Giant Trance E+ 3 Pro tested here gets all best e-bike tech.

Highs
  • Smooth power delivery and plenty of it

Lows
  • Mismatched suspension and limited gear range
