2022 Giant Trance X 29 2 Mountain Bike

There’s a whole lot to like about this mid-travel trail bike that has a whole lot of capabilities. With 150 mm of front suspension and 135 mm of rear travel, this bike is equally capable of uphill travel as it is when it comes to rugged downhill descents. The aluminum frame is both sturdy and light, allowing riders to really push their limits to the utmost degree. Add to that their flip chip adjustable geometry and you’ve got a customizable ride that allows the rider to adjust the angles of the head tube and seat tube. This makes the bike either slacker for freeride or more upright for tighter singletrack and more technical riding. When the going gets rough, the 29” wheels and tires soak up all the bumps and add more grip and roll to the equation. When this is all bundled together in a budget-friendly package, advancing and progressing riders will get a great sense of what is possible on a modern trail bike.
