  • Adaptive suspension system for stability and comfort over rough terrain.
  • Progressive geometry for comfort and ride precision.
  • Sleek and clean frame look.

Bottom Line

The Giant Trance X Advanced E+ is one of the most advanced trail bikes on the market. While some of the features feel superfluous, the majority of the features make this bike an absolute joy to ride over pebbly cliffs and trails.
Offered at a premium (albeit reasonable given the number of advanced features) price point, it might not fall into every rider's budget, but if the higher price tag isn't a deal breaker, the Trance X Advanced E+ is worth the look. The smooth pedal efficiency and light carbon wheels will make speedy extra travel easy.
