At a glance

The most importanten ratings of the Giant TRANCE X E+ 2 ⬤ in comparison to the competitor bikes of following categorie: (6000) ⬤.

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 middle class four pistons brakes by Shimano are used. 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. The view of the weight of 25,7 kg reveals: There are lighter All Mountains.

Expirience with the Giant TRANCE X E+ 2

The TRANCE X E+ 2 isnt`t a specialist on the trail.

A generous warranty also speaks of sustainable business practices. With 25 years of warranty, Giant sets the bar high!
