The Giant Trance 2 is a full-suspension aluminium trail bike that is just as at home on trails and XC loops as it is on Alpine adventures and even enduro races.
This is a trail bike that thrives in the most challenging conditions. The frameset is engineered with a lightweight yet super strong and stiff ALUXX SL aluminium frame. It has Giant's own updated Maestro rear suspension featuring a trunnion-mount shock and Advanced Forged Carbon Composite rocker arm to soak up bumps small and large. This upper rocker arm is stiff, strong, and lightweight,
You get 140mm of smooth, active rear travel from the Fox Float DPS Performance that gives you the traction and control you need to be one with the trail. Frame geometry is designed around its 27.5 wheels, which deliver both speed and control on rugged terrain. The dropper seatpost allows you to instantly adapt to changing terrain. Just spot your line, point it and go.
Up front, you have a 150mm Fox 34 Rhythm suspension fork which is lightweight with infinitely adjustable compression. This is a fork which is more than capable on trails and even enduro style riding. The one-by Shimano SLX drivetrain has a 510% gear range and the internally routed cables produce clean lines on the frame.
The Trance 2 combines excellent climbing efficiency with confident descending ability which allows it, as a mid-travel bike, to do-it-all.
