NEW Giant mountain bikes are here! 2023 Trance X Advanced 29 Pro SE

2023 Giant Trance X Advanced 29 Pro 1 SE WITH Flight Attendant!
The first of Giant's 2023 lineup is here with the new logo and all! I do go over the full build of the bike as well as weight. The trance is a bike that seems to never disappoint so I was eager to see this thing in person.

What do you all think of the new flight attendant from SRAM?

[@KYMXRacer]

This bike is on sale for $4500. Thinking about picking one up!

[@andrewfuerte3880]

Literally just bought it 😂 snag it dude that’s a crazy deal

[@davidewing6149]

Just bought it. Incredible deal…

[@alexdi1367]

FYI on lockouts-- a power meter is measuring your output power, not the metabolic effort required to generate it. You can expend quite a lot more energy to produce the same power numbers, which is what happens when you bob from pedaling. Controlling your body and activating the rebound damper has a cost. The comparison gets murky when the terrain has bumps that would jostle you if the suspension was locked out. Jostling (converting forward momentum to vertical) is a significant energy loss.

Nicely done review

[@terrycorkum]

Oh sweet the 2023s are here! Wonder where my 2022 is? Ugh.

[@MossieRidesBikes]

I’m with ya on that! Some of our 22s are still on back order

[@scottwatson7844]

Blast…only bought a 2022 Trance last month.

[@terrycorkum]

@@scottwatson7844 I actually just got my Bike last week. It took 9.5 months lol. Just in time for snow. Bought a kicker and tire.

[@grxygxds]

I love my Trance!

[@mariopejovic]

Tons of gadgets for those with really deep pockets. Not sure will stuff like Flight Attendant help every day bikers, because not sure how most of us can really dial in bikes 100%, nor we are aware of the nuances. Pros on the other hand, feels to me, want 100% control, so not sure will they be willing to be dependent on some gadget. But I might be wrong. That's a nice bike. Had no idea Giant started to release 2023 models. Interested in what the regular Trance 29 will be specced. Love the new logo. Less is more, I think. What do you think, will aluminium models soon start to receive down tube storages? Great video Mossie, keep em coming!

[@lolloLLsniperLL]

Any 2023 Reign video incoming?

[@joshuar6347]

I can see why your times would be the same with and without lockouts, unless you’re slipping there shouldn’t be a noticeable difference in time, but have you noticed a difference in how you feel? Are you feeling more exhausted or no difference? I have a theory that the shock movement causes you to exert more energy when pedaling. When you pedal on an open shock, the bike bobs up and down, meaning some of your energy is going into the bob as your foot is traveling further up and down. A stiffer shock would cause a more circular foot movement with more energy going into tire rotation.

[@stevemurray710]

Being new to mountain biking I'm thinking it would be cool to have a dropper post that automatically drops when it detects the bike going backwards.

[@joshuar6347]

Messier being catalogued deep space objects. They have space themed colors.

[@grxygxds]

10 out of 10 with Fox Live Valve to each their own.

[@davidmatheson7391]

"Computery" is perfectly cromulent!

[@michaels8607]

checking the Trance 3 alloy..i just dont have $10k for one bike..yes,i said $10k because i am coming back so it' would be $8500 + clothes helmets, GPS, tools, bags etc..

[@yengsabio5315]

Q: Who exactly is this bike for? A: For anyone who can afford to acquire it! Oh, dear! These new bikes are so getting hard(er) to reach these days, eh. Lots'a love, cheers, & Mabuhay, from tropical Philippines! #RideOn #KeepBiking

[@stevemurray710]

Dylan is great but he began to have doubts on his lockout analysis once he was cross-examined in the comments.

[@MossieRidesBikes]

Good to know! I still use my standard lockouts on long endurance events but I’ve just been under the assumption that the difference is small enough to be negligible in anything short.

[@mattjones1378]

30 lbs. its heavy like a Diamondback.

[@lindonandlisa8114]

Have owned a lot of giants in the past and love them just the new colours are crap

[@MossieRidesBikes]

I would agree with that. I even like the paint scheme, just not the actual colors

[@armandocardenas6094]

Who picks those colors, seriously?

[@mickfaragher7897]

Not necessary so it's a gimmick.
