    Giant Trance X E+ Reviews

    I second that, and the 2022 Reign is out, at least in the video, it's a mullet. I'm wondering how many years before Giant replicates Orbea's Rise, go for lightness...

    Please help! Which Giant models should I review?

    Hi Court, I have a 'full fat e mtn bike' Giant 2021 Trance X 29er 3 with 85 NM of torque. I ride ski resorts and rarely go past '3' out of 5 buttons of power. It's more cadence I've found, just keep it steady, anticipate short steeper sections or rocks. So many factors in play here, the weight...

    Please help! Which Giant models should I review?

    Most Giant shops here in Utah carry Giant since it's a great entry level bike for most newbies. High end bikes are too much for Joe Average, and with high resale, a Giant is a smart first move. I'd vote for the Stance lineup as it get's riders in the e game, teaches them how to feed and nurture...

    Giant Trance X E+ Reviews

    I have 980 trail miles on my 2021 Trance 2, 29er chameleon/mars/black. Came from an acoustic Trance X 2021 29er, the difference is shocking. Riding ski resorts in Utah, it's seriously UP, all the time. Incredible battery life, quiet, strong Yamaha motor is a major plus, excellent gearing. 52lbs...

    Giant Trance 2021 X E+ Pro 29er 2 owner in Park City, UT

    I can never take showroom photos, (I"m riding, too lazy to pose it correctly) but it's almost candy apple in quality. Unlike our English counterparts, this beast does not do mud, water, and gets cleaned daily, by hand, not a jet wash. The YT channel idea is an offshoot of this Forum. Not to...

    Thanks! It's Chameleon for sure. Brown, purple, orange, fools me half the time in different light. Someone said "Giant offers that unique color when you buy a frame only". Great forum, already solved my charger issue, well before my local Giant shop did. I'm loyal to Giant but there have to...

    Giant Trance E+ 3 Pro energypak not charging

    Update to the update! Rode it, got the battery down to 90%, green light comes on with the Giant Smart Charger 2021 brick model. Love this forum for giving me solutions, can you imagine if the Giant Support team would chime in here? Service/Support matter a ton to the e rider that is paying big...

    E-Bike hatred is out there!

    Glad you could keep your cool, and represent e bikers as this will continue for a few years. Park City, UT has 400 miles of trails, big no e bike on single tracks signs. But they offer a Park City Municipal pass for free if disabled or over 65. The program was 'too popular' so it's in suspense...

    Giant Trance E+ 3 Pro energypak not charging

    Update: it's possible the Smart Charger won't 'go green' if the battery til the battery is below 90%. Makes sense, I normally ride 20 miles, hit 50%, recharge that night. The Giant website/manual is stiff, could do a much more transparent explanation of FAQs. 960 miles on a 2021 Trance X E...

    Giant Trance 2021 X E+ Pro 29er 2 owner in Park City, UT

    What a great resource as Giant shops are plentiful, but answers, well, that's a training issue. Have 960 miles at elevation, the bike is amazing, avg 17-24 miles a day, cross country at the local ski resorts, Deer Valley and Park City, UT. Incredible torque, forever range once you get the...
