Dec 2021 · Ian Collins

Upon fully revising the Trance 29, the folks at Giant were kind enough to send us a sample in the Advanced Pro 1 level spec for testing

[R]eviewed // Giant Trance Advanced Pro 29

Dec 2021

For as long as we can remember the Trance has been Giant’s do-it-all trail bike and whilst the platform has been constantly evolving over the years it’s never really been a bike that would set your heart racing with excitement… until now! Fresh for 2022 Giant have completely redesigned every square inch of the new Trance and in doing so they created a bike with super charged trail performance.

The Beta Tests - Giant Trance X Advanced Pro 29 0

Apr 2021 · Michael Ferrentino

The “better mousetrap” theory is tested in the Trance X 29. Spry handling and burly intent meet a mess of ones and zeros in FOX Live Valve

Highs
  • Fun, lively handling

  • Top shelf componentry

  • Live Valve adds versatility to otherwise burly intent

Lows
  • Bird's-nest wiring

  • Live Valve needs further refinement to really shine

  • It ain’t cheap

Matthew’s Giant Trance E+ 1 Pro long-term review

Jan 2021 · Matthew Loveridge

The Trance isn't the most playful of bikes, but it's still a whole lot of fun and it doesn't have any obvious omissions in its spec

Highs
  • Oodles of power on tap

  • Simple un-distracting head unit

  • Hard to fault spec

  • Clever Smart Assist mode

Lows
  • Reach is fairly short for a medium

  • There’s no ignoring the weight

  • Tendency to tug at the leash when stopped
