Add a review (form opens in right column) reviewed by guest on January 25, 2010   Pros Extremely versatile ride. Plush, but easily controlled. Responsive and forgiving. Cons Original seat was too hard and flat. Verdict Bought an '07 X1. Great all around trail bike. Does it all very well. reviewed by samuel_sprague   on September 15, 2009   Pros Pretty much everything. Does what a dedicated trail bike should. Cons Headset is crap. Verdict Great bike at an even better price. 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. 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.
