Giant offer a wide collection of dual suspension trail bikes and just in case readers aren’t in the know already, can you start by explaining what the ‘X’ in model’s name distinguish about these bikes compared to the standard Trance models? I’d like to think that it stands for Xtreme but in reality the X signifies that the bike is intended to get rowdy and encourage its rider to really have a lot of fun out there on the trails! […]
Extremely versatile, suitable for various trail conditions and riding styles
Great value for money, especially alloy version starting at $5499
High level of adjustability (geometry, reach, flip chip)
Lightweight carbon frame with refined aesthetics
Capable on descents yet efficient for climbing
Mullet-compatible out of the box
Predictable and fun handling
Not the most exciting on paper or to the eye
Rear suspension optimized for 29-inch wheel when using mullet setup
Minor travel increase (5mm) not a game-changer alone

The Giant Trance X Advance Pro SE trail bike features all the electronic bells and whistles paired with a carbon frame.
Incredible value
A tech geek’s dream
Superb suspension package
Complex to dial in
Needs a lot of batteries – a total of 7 across Flight Attendant and AXS
Lots of own-brand components

There is no doubt that 29-inch wheels are faster and better in most situations, but when it comes to maneuverability and fun, this just might be the go-to wheel size.

Giant Trance Advanced Pro 29 1 is reviewed by Benji in The Big Short bike grouptest in issue 142 of Singletrack World.
Dec 2021 · Robin Weaver
If you rate fun over flat-out speed, the new Trance X 1 is a seriously capable bike that manages to straddle the line between trail bike and enduro machine and is certainly worth checking out
Good geometry
Suspension easy to set up
Solid spec for the cash
Fox 36 adjustment won’t necessarily work for lighter riders
Could benefit from using mixed wheel sizes
Dec 2021
