Giant TRANCE X ADVANCED E+ ELITE 0 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. Fans of XXL tours are greatly restricted by the TRANCE X ADVANCED E+ ELITE 0 , because of its low range. The integrated battery gives developers constructive freedom when designing the frame. However, to charge it, the bike always has to be brought near an outlet.

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 fantastic 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+ ELITE 0 is equipped with an electronically controlled chassis which automatically adapts to the riding situation. With its four pistons and larger brake rotors the SRAM braking system decelerates extremely goodly. This allows you to maintain control over your own pace even in the steepest descents. At the drivetrain components and the rest of the parts, Giant goes all-in and only uses excellent parts. The handling of the bike is pleasantly balanced due to the moderate geometry. This allows you to intuitively control the bike over the trails. The bottom bracket is high, which costs handling points. This tends to make the rider stand on the bike. On other EMTBs it feels better integrated. Due to the short chainstays , when climbing steep sections, it requires active weight shifting to prevent the front wheel from lifting. Overall, the geometry does not seem to be up to date anymore. The competition is significantly more modern in this regard. The scale stays at 18,8 kg with this model. That makes the TRANCE X ADVANCED E+ ELITE 0 one of the light All Mountains.
