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.

| 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.. | | Recommended for: Anyone |
| 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. | | Recommended for: Anyone |
