Thanks to the carbon frame and 29” wheels, the Giant Trance X Advanced Pro 29 2 mountain bike is your go-to model for modern trail riding, combining uphill efficiency with downhill acumen. This thing is highly versatile and useful when it comes to long climbs and steep drops. While it falls more into the mid-range of travel, boasting a 150 mm fork and 135 mm of rear suspension, this thing is capable of riding squishier, as well as being responsive and crisp in uphill sessions. It’s customizable as well, featuring flip chip technology that allows the rider to adjust the angles of the head and seat tube in order to create either a slacker or more direct geometry. With 29” wheels and tires to roll smooth and soak up bumps, this bike is built to ride pretty aggressively and will deliver confidence to the rider with each and every pedal stroke.
