The TRANCE X ADVANCED E+ELITE 2 is the spearhead in Giant's E-MTB development. The concept with a small integrated battery, the option of a range extender and full engine power is not entirely new, but nevertheless implemented absolutely consistently in the TRANCE X ADVANCED E+ELITE 2. This is how Giant wants to reconcile power, range and weight.
With torque under the motor cover, the support is generous. Nobody needs to fear steep hills anymore. Furthermore, the power of the motor control is regulated so that the start always feels dynamic,. Fans of XXL tours are greatly restricted by the TRANCE X ADVANCED E+ELITE 2 , because of its low range.

At a glance

The most importanten ratings of the Giant TRANCE X ADVANCED E+ELITE 2 | V2 in comparison to the competitor bikes of following categorie: (7000) .

The Fox chassis provides safety and traction, even when the trail gets rougher. However, it comes to its limit at high speed. At the brakes, Giant instals upper class brakes with four pistons and large brake rotors from Shimano. The average shifting components and accessories leave some tuning potential open. For most e-bikers, this should be an acceptable point. 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. Short chainstays and make the front end light in steep climbs. To keep the front wheel on the ground, you need to consciously lean forward. It's no use beating around the bush: the geometry of Giant doesn't suit our taste. Competitors are closer to the cutting edge here. On the scale, the TRANCE X ADVANCED E+ELITE 2 makes a good figure with 19,7 kg. Most All Mountains are significantly heavier.

Expirience with the Giant TRANCE X ADVANCED E+ELITE 2 | V2

Friends of gravity should jot down the TRANCE X ADVANCED E+ELITE 2. With a good brake system, the Giant is a real trail rocket. But a mediocre chassis are of course points of criticism that one should be aware of before purchasing. Giant gives a warranty of 25 years on the bike.
