Giant TRANCE X ADVANCED E+ 1 [29″/PRO/625WH] Review

No matter how steep or technical the climb is: the Giant motor makes it conquerable! At the same time, the drive provides a well-rounded feeling while riding with a dynamic power delivery. The average range can become a problem especially for long mountain bike rides.

The chassis, besides the motor and battery, is one of the most expensive components of an EMTB. With the golden shine Fox suspension elements, Giant doesn't skimp in this area. Thanks to an outstanding function, the entire bike lies comfortably on the track when it goes downhill. Setup-Nerds can squeeze out the maximum performance from the chassis thanks to the many setting options. The automation level is also progressing more and more in the bike industry. The TRANCE X ADVANCED E+ 1 is equipped with an electronically controlled chassis which automatically adapts to the riding situation. At the brakes, Giant middle class four pistons brakes by Shimano are used. The components and the gears are less in the spotlight with an EMTB than with bikes without motor. Nevertheless, when we take a look we find out that here, good components are always used. The trend is going towards increasingly longer main frames. With a very high Reach Value, Giant meets this trend. However, especially inexperienced riders must be aware that it takes a brave body effort to maneuver the TRANCE X ADVANCED E+ 1.
