Giant 2022 Trance X Advanced E+ EMTB | LONG TERM eBIKE REVIEW

[@SamsBikes]

Riders I hope you liked this one! Soooo much work went into it!

[@gregwhittle3771]

The 2022 Trance E + is a beast of a bike. Love to go riding anywhere.

[@jarenci1]

I love my 2021 Trance X E+ pro, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles like the 0 but it's an awesome bike. For $6300 I think is a good value. I have a little over 600 miles on it.

[@kyled121]

Great vid Sam,. 8k might be good value for what is on it but that's still a lot of cash!

[@darrensmith7614]

I’ve ordered myself the giant trance E pro 3 being delivered very soon 😀 it’s my first E bike. From this review I think I’ve made the correct decision on the giant, I was torn between the giant and the cube stereo. As a trail rider the durability of the giant swayed my decision hopefully it’s as good as the reviews have said 😁👌 Great review by the way very informative! 👍

[@mister_dave1184]

I have 150 miles on the trance e+3. It was $5600 here in the states. It climbs like a monster. It has entry lvl components which are good enough for me.

[@kingerz]

Bought a 2023 E+1 aluminium one, it has an 800wh battery now. Brilliant.

[@henrybaker7594]

Really Balanced review Sam! Pedal strikes are a nightmare on the YT Jeffsy Acoustic. It’s my most hated thing!

[@bluray561]

Yes...great vid...Giant Trance E all the way😎👍

[@SamsBikes]

Thanks Pete it really is a sweet bike!

[@emtbtrailrider539]

Giant 2022 Trance X Advanced E+ Looks good, they Perfected it finally!!

[@kevinmortimer1883]

cracking review Sam. objective and honest

[@SamsBikes]

Thanks Kevin that really means a lot! This video was sooooo much work but what a bike!

[@Paulthenutter34]

I'm waiting for the mullet Trance X next year, fit a 160 fork and a Float X2 in the rear. I've got a '19 Trance and those suspension changes made a huge difference!

[@rommel-777]

Love your content brother! Keep up the amazing work. God Bless!

[@smeagle17]

Very comprehensive review Sam, I learned alot.. You are a walking encyclopedia when it comes to bikes bro.. 👍 Stay frosty Legend 🌟

[@sbrb27]

Thanks for such a great review! I am in the market for my first time eMTB. I am considering the 2022 Levo Comp Alloy and this Trance X Advanced E+ 0. I can have the Levo Comp for 7k (+taxes) and the Trance for 8500 (+taxes). My rides would be a mix of climbs, medium downhill and also the occasional commute from the office on asphalt. I am 6'3 (215lb on a good day). Thanks a lot!

[@stephenharrington667]

I got a Trance X e+1 in June, silk trying to adjust to the long chainstay, but really enjoying the bike.

[@frankmonaco413]

Giant trance e is a great bike.

[@enriquee.k3329]

My next bike soon ❤

[@BSE75]

Great content like always. do you still have the bike ? Can you make a video how to set up the valve system`?

[@MrDwayno]

Agree. Be interesting to know what compression settings he used for riding. For initial setup Fox recommend you have it fully open.

[@scottbrady4472]

You said you found it a very good fit. In the Mountain goat video, you said you found it slightly big and you used spacers. Can you please elaborate on this?

[@mytimenz]

E+1 on deposit. 25mm Carbon Risers and 160 upgrade on the fork already installed. Funny you mention both things. Can't wait. Do you recommend the Cush Cores?

[@SamsBikes]

Hey Berry great minds think alike! Haha 😂 I think with aluminum wheels useless your going crazy, I don’t run cushcore just good tires with thick casing with carbon wheels 100% cushcore enjoy the bike mate it’s a beast

[@m3drivr]

Hey Sam! Love your passion in your reviews and vids! I love this bike but between this and the Levo, what’s your opinion? I think they are both very capable bikes but the Levo has more adjustability.

[@SamsBikes]

Hey mate thanks for your message I really really appreciate it. Maybe send me a message on Instagram or Facebook and I’ll send you a very long voice message haha a lot to say on both bikes both amazing but different

[@kodithebear]

I'm on a TRANCE X E+ 1 2022 and love it,...... aside from the grey elephant in the room... the low bottom bracket and constant pedal strike on any trail. Even turning on buffed trails the pedals drag on the ground 🤣

[@SamsBikes]

Really? I personally have had no problems with that!

[@frischensbub]

The 2021 version had that but not the 2022 modell actually

[@Swietyy_]

Great review Sam! Is there a chance you can get your hands onto Cube Stereo Hybrid HPC 160 Actionteam and do a fieldtest? I wonder how it compares with Reign cuz i want to get one of those bikes.

[@harrysmiles]

Sam, do you know if you can extend the travel of the forks with a standard fox 36 air shaft?

[@SamsBikes]

Yes you can, You just need to buy the air stroke but I’m not sure how it will play with the fox live value might be worth reaching out to fox.

[@thewrx2600]

what was scale weight on the bike as tested?

[@rockylim735]

I have a 2022 alloy E+1 and I was thinking of keeping the flip chip on high but increasing the fork travel to 160 would this work to be closer to a trail-enduro machine without going to the bigger brother?

[@SamsBikes]

Yes that would work pretty well! I have heard people putting a longer stroke in the rear shock and making it 150 at the rear and 160 at the front. Never tried it but it should work

[@herbertmichaels2841]

How does that motor compare to my 75 n.m. 2023 stance e? Has anyone ridden both? Mine feels pretty strong to me so far

[@philwebb606]

Times are bad when we think 8.5k bike is a good deal

[@SamsBikes]

Hey mate I definitely hear you but if you look at this spec it is a good deal but not exactly cheap

[@finroddd]

heard something about over 8000 euro?! no way, man, no way

[@TheGolfdaily]

Maybe I am poor but, 8.5 grand for a push bike is far from being reasonable!! Especially when you consider what kind of motorbikes you can buy for this money.

[@m3drivr]

Don’t quite disagree, but if you take a look around, even a simple carbon non electric bike probably about 3k at least and a base ebike while about 6-7k. Bikes with this spec? 12-14k!

[@TheGolfdaily]

@@m3drivr I know,,, it seems like there are plenty of people happy to pay 10+K for a bicycle today. Good for cycling business I guess!!

[@ellertingvi]

I hate my 2022 Rein e+0 just a nightmear bike..

[@SamsBikes]

Why?

[@thispod]

Why? In may I got a reign e+1 and I'm loving it. Coming from a 2018 kenevo it took a bit to adjust my riding style, but once you understand the forward geometry this thing is a beast.

[@jonlivingstone2122]

I have the E+2 and it’s been great, no issues at all

[@mikewormsman]

The giant tune on the pwx3 is not good .this must be a paid advertisement.

[@SamsBikes]

Oh ? Have you tired one? I put it up there with bosch and brose and I’ve tested everything but thanks for your comment

[@mikewormsman]

@@SamsBikes yes owned the e1 reign and sold it.bosch #1 all the way ,it has on point dialed acceleration for wheelies and popoing over trail features.the giant needs work and its the one thing u cant change .power level make no difference to how the motor feels. Its such a shame because i liked my reign very disappointing.

[@thispod]

I king of agree on the tune, any setting higher that 3 makes very little difference even if adjusted all the way up on the app.

[@mikewormsman]

@@thispod it needs an acceleration setting like brose bosch bafang and shimano.the pwx-3 could be sonmuch better its such a shame.

[@thispod]

@@mikewormsman coming from a 2018 kenevo I know what you mean
