Giant Trance X 2

Find your flow on technical trails. With adjustable geometry, the option to change rear wheel size, and a new 140mm Maestro rear suspension setup, this versatile trail bike steamrolls singletrack with confidence and control.

Key Performance Factors

A new Maestro rear suspension system gives trail riders 140mm of rear travel. The trunnion mount shock and Advanced Forged Composite rocker arm combine for a longer stroke that has a smooth, active feel, plus greater stiffness in the chassis for precision control. The rear suspension is paired with a 150mm travel fork, providing superior confidence and control on technical singletrack.

A three-position Maestro flip chip lets riders dial in frame geometry for their riding style and terrain. The high setting adds more ground clearance, a good option for tight, technical terrain. In the low setting, the head tube gets slacker and the bottom bracket drops, ideal for confident handling at higher speeds. The middle position is neutral. In addition, a new headset flip chip adjusts reach so that riders can easily achieve their preferred positioning.

All models come with 29-inch front and rear wheels, but the flip chip lets you opt for a mixed wheel setup including a 27.5 rear. The stock 29-inch rear wheel optimizes stability and roll-over capabilities, while a 27.5 delivers a more agile, snappier feel and more saddle-to-tyre clearance in the rear. Some riders favor this “mullet” setup for riding steep, technical terrain.

Highlights

The all-new frameset is engineered with a super strong and lightweight ALUXX SL aluminium chassis and updated Maestro suspension system. With 140mm of rear travel and a 150mm fork, it gobbles up rocks, roots and ruts with ease. The frame is equipped with two, three-position flip chips for the ultimate in adjustability. The rear flip chip, located on the Maestro rocker arm, lets you change frame geometry and switch the standard 29-inch rear wheel to 27.5 if you prefer. A second flip chip at the headset provides 10mm of reach adjustment. New, integrated frame storage inside the down tube makes it easy to carry tools, snacks and other essentials. Mounts below the top tube offer an additional option for storage, and protection on the down tube prevents damage from trail debris and transportation.
