Verdict Great bike at an even better price. Recommended for: Anyone reviewed by rustys2370   on April 17, 2009   Pros Everything! It climbs and bombs. Just point and shoot. No picking lines really. Cons Gotta buy better peddles. Im a plat rider. Clicks suck! Verdict Buy it you love it. Any higher model is that much better. Buut you get all the right components with this model and a lot less of the price. Recommend a new front tire. Recommended for: Experienced XC riders reviewed by Havoc14   on February 14, 2009   Verdict I just recently purchased the '09 Trance X3 and love it. The climb is more efficient than my '99 hard tail and the decent is unbelievable. I knew when I started not to test ride a full suspension until I was ready to buy but who knew it could be this good.
