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

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

We tested the top of the line Fox Live Valve equipped version at the last Field Test, and were curious about how the value version stacked up.

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
