Is This The Best Giant Electric Mountain Bike For The Money? Giant Trance X E+ 2 Pro 29 Review

[@HectorSalcedo]

Anything Yamaha touches is quality. Happy to hear that Giant and Yamaha have worked together to create the most reliable eBike I’ve ever worked on. Bravo!

Dude, Im back to this video after watching it about 20 months ago. Because of your review and enthusiasm I bought this exact model, Sapphire Blue Trance Xe+2 Pro 29, and totally love it. Done around 3100km now, every ride is a blast. Glad I followed your advice on the 150/140mm travel, and did not opt for the Reign. The versatility is just so much better, it climbs amazingly well, crushes the downs, and is so agile on the trails. For anyone out there considering this bike, it's amazing value with top components. The e+2 sits in that perfect spot between cost and return on spend. Enjoy your channel man, you keep it real!

Like other 150/140mm travel eMTBs, the Giant Trance X E+ proves to be just as capable as its longer travel counterparts. As for the geometry, its steeper seat tube angle provides a more aggressive / forward pedal platform for the climbs. While it doesn’t have the slackest head tube angle, I didn’t notice it hindering me at all through the high speed technical descents. Overall, I’d say it’s easily one of the best all mountain bikes I’ve ridden and the Syncdrive Pro motor stole the show!

It's great to see the Yamaha drive being used more by name brands. It's definitely been a favorite of mine

Last weekend I built my first ebike using my hard tail 29r. Did a couple of shakedown rides I've got everything snugged and it should end up being a great greenway/commuter when we move to northwest AR next year. Along with that move I'm planning to get the Trance E+ in some version so this was great to watch! My Anthem 29 has been fantastic for several years for what I ride now but 100mm travel and the pure XC geometry comes up short for a lot of things in NWA and I may as well go E to save my aging carcass on the ups to get the most out of the downs.

great bike, i fitted Assegai 2.6 front and rear , that did improve the grip and confort. . Superb bike ! 12.000 kms on mine , smile for miles.

[@ZHUHAI100]

just purchased 2023 version - great bike

[@youlube1029]

i have this bike with 4000 km on it, i ride it like it should be ridden, fast and hard. It s been faultless beside the chain guard that i broke. The Yamaha engine is a pleasure to pedal.

[@noaherwin3135]

That trance is badass! Blasting through the rocks.

[@anthonya995]

As always, great job of telling us all about the bikes. By the way, "where is that!!" Awesome looking trail!

[@theampedlife]

Just the best review Ive seen on this bike. You convinced me to pick one up, super stoked with the choice two months later, exactly as reviewed.

[@kieransanderson12]

Was it worth the purchase? Not sure which giant to pick up for myself.

[@theampedlife]

@@kieransanderson12 Absolutely happy with this bike, I think its the best setup at the price. Did a lot of research, and really happy I chose this one. A goat on the climb and a sled downhill Really cannot recommend this bike enough after owning many others. Enjoy!

[@PatrickKocha]

Other people that reviews on bikes should take notes on this video they hit every important part of a review

[@MrGoussem]

Is there community group where to share rides, experiences, lessons learned etc....? I have Giant E trance bike and I am enjoining my rides I would like to share.

[@mahennaiker5072]

I'm looking to purchase a range externder any suggestion as i notice battery power runs out too quick

[@mattgolding7557]

Which do you prefer, the trance or the levo ?

[@lawrencekennedy1123]

Battery removable or fixed?

[@kigavo]

Hey, just one question - will M or Large fit better, I am 178 tall

[@Smaugel]

I would go for an M. I have this exact bike in size S since M was sold out, and i'm 175 tall. Fits me fine, but I would have liked a bit more reach and size M has a longer dropper post.

[@emilioechavarria8]

How I can find a 800w battery in United States?

[@zebbenbrown1301]

You fly down lower stage coach on that Giant

[@AaronSchroder]

Does anyone know if this bike can be configured/customized using the Giant Ride Control app?

[@Smaugel]

Yes you can! I have custom modes for days.

[@kodithebear]

All these new bikes are so low the pedals literally drag on the ground 🤣

[@apatriotofhopedanjohn4781]

Have had my new GIANT TRANCE XE+2 Now for little over a month…. Absolutely Love this bike 😊. But HATE THAT they have such a great power plant Limited 😢. SUCH A SHAME !!!!!!!

[@dennisboyd9557]

We need Mountain Bikes to be given a top speed of 28

[@apatriotofhopedanjohn4781]

@@dennisboyd9557 Yes sir and AMEN… Mr. Dennis LET RIDERS DECIDE and SET EBIKES FREE !!!!!!!

[@jasonlee4267]

by a modification kit and install it on the motor, frees up all that power, there are plenty of youtube videos and explanations, just make sure you get the correct kit for your specific bike

[@herbertmichaels2841]

Because to go faster it will be peaked at max wattage overheat throw error codes. Peak wattage isnt meant to be more than for briefly.. If you want a faster top end bike a bigger motor is better. But i love running 7 mph on beat up trails and cruise 20 mph happily

[@CopperCityPatriot]

$6300.00. What people...what class of people, consider $6300.00, moral to spend on a bicycle? e-bikes are not for everyone, as the industry stated they would be back in the 1990's.

[@dbear503]

Hey Pilgram, I don't class myself anything other than a hard working family man who after 30 years of owning and operating my own business, working extended hours and missing out on many things most are not prepared to go without because of this. I own one. I hope that answers your question.
