Summary
The Giant Trance is a versatile trail bike praised for its modern geometry, comfortable ride across various terrains, and innovative features like in-frame storage. Its suspension performance, particularly with the Fox Live Valve system, is noted for efficiency and tunability, though it adds complexity. The bike is seen as a solid all-rounder, excelling in agility and handling, but some reviews mention it doesn't specialize in any single category.
Dialed modern trail bike geometry
Comfortable on a wide variety of terrain
In-frame storage
Light, capable, versatile
Fun to climb as it is to descend
Fox Live Valve adds complexity and weight
Sits between categories without excelling in either
Pedal strikes an issue in Low geometry setting
It’s light, capable, versatile, and as fun to climb as it is to descend.
BetaFox’s Live Valve system does boost efficiency on the one hand, but adds weight and complexity on the other.
BikeRadarStaying true to the strengths of the 27.5in wheel, the Giant Trance X is a brilliantly fun trail bike that’s up for, well, a bit of everything really.

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

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!

Gone is the appearance of a skinny little XC bike, and […]

This outstanding value pops with energy.

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
Fun, lively handling
Top shelf componentry
Live Valve adds versatility to otherwise burly intent
Bird's-nest wiring
Live Valve needs further refinement to really shine
It ain’t cheap

With the Trance X Advanced, GIANT present their latest, 29", 150/135 mm travel do-it-all trail bike. We put it to the test.
Excellent suspension
Fun yet composed handling
Good value for money
Brakes not on par with rest of build
Size L will be too long for many riders
