Giant Trance X 2 MTB Ride & Review

My Test Ride & Review of the new 2022 Giant Trance X 2 MTB. This thing is a beast with the longer travel suspension making it more than capable of big drops and fast downhill riding! The 27.5 Wheels are perfect for technical trail riding. I have't tried changing the frame dimension just yet but I will do a separate video on that!

"Built for those who favor the responsive, agile handling of 27.5 wheels, Trance X features a flip chip that lets you adjust the frame geometry for riding style and terrain. You can choose a steeper or slacker head tube angle and either a 20mm or 30mm bottom bracket drop. The ALUXX SL aluminum frame has an updated Maestro rear suspension featuring 145mm of smooth, active rear travel. A trunnion-mount shock and Advanced Forged Composite rocker arm help soak up bumps, giving you traction and control to float through rocks, roots and ruts. Confidence is further bolstered by a 160mm travel suspension fork up front"

I got that bike. I had to upgrade that drivetrain. I am not a fan of SRAM I put a Shimano XT DRIVE TRAIN IT’S FANTASTIC!

I have this same bike, and i love it! Im very hard on bikes and its stood up to my abuse. I will sometimes ride enduro laps on it, it does really well.

I like seeing the Giant Trance X2 getting some love! I ride a 2021 Giant Trance X 2 29er, and I love it! I've pushed it on normal trails, and while riding downhill. It just eats it all up! I send mine down anything I feel comfortable riding, with no fear of the bike meeting its limit. I'd recommend the bike to anybody interested!

Hey I’m not far from Ruby and Riverbends here in Sarnia! Gotta get over there sometime.

Nice video bro! I have this same bike but the x3. Do you prefer riding in the low or high position?

[@Jboogadawgg]

Ya Jacobs the man!!! He’s got a amazing bike and even better doggy’s !!

[@winnguyen443]

Giant is supposedly the biggest bike store there is. I’m hoping for sales this spring. That’s the exact bike I’m watching. Thanks for doing the video bro!

I bought my trance x 29 in end of June online it was 600$ manufacturers rebate+ 200$ off when purchasing a Giant online. I was waiting for it to be on sale since awhile (my first FS 29er) the rebates weren't advertised at the local store, they just didn't care to. Check online...
