Giant Trance 2 Reviews

Description: (from giant-bicycles.com)
FRAME TECHNOLOGY
The modern definition of the “mountain bike,” Trance devours five-hour epics and weekend hammer-fests with the greatest of ease. Designed with a balanced Maestro 4.2 and 4-inches of rear/front travel, the lightweight aluminum ALUXX SL tubed Trance is a hard-core XC bike with a freeride soul.

Add a review (form opens in right column) reviewed by DragonRail   on December 30, 2008   Pros Almost everything. The setup is nice and the bike rides great. A lot of bike for the money with decent parts. Cons I changed out the front tire to a Kenda Nevagal. The bike came with Kenda Komoto's but the front was to loose for me on our trails. I also added the SPD pedals for good measure.. Verdict Very nice bike fore the money. If you find one of the 08s in the LBS, for the right price.. get it.. you'll love it.. reviewed by besco   on August 11, 2008   Pros The maestro suspension is amazing a rooty uphill is a joke on this bike. Extremely well built nothing has loosened up and the bike actually rides better the more you ride it. fast and surprisingly nimble for a large frame dual suspension bike. Cons Nothing, I changed the seat because the speed that is stock was not comfortable to me. I also changed the grips and added SPD pedals. Verdict recommend this bike to anyone who is beginning and wants a bike that can take it while you grow in the sport.
