Giant Trance X 2 Mountain Bike (2024)

Find your flow on technical trails and beyond. With adjustable geometry, the option to switch rear wheel size, and 140mm of smooth Maestro rear suspension, this versatile trail bike delivers the perfect balance of agility, control, and confidence to take on any singletrack with ease.

Key Performance Factors

Updated suspension

A new Maestro rear suspension system gives trail riders 140mm of rear travel. The trunnion mount shock and Advanced Forged Composite rocker arm combine for a longer stroke that has a smooth, active feel, plus greater stiffness in the chassis for precision control. The rear suspension is paired with a 150mm travel fork, providing superior confidence and control on technical singletrack.

Adjustable trail geometry

A three-position Maestro flip chip lets riders dial in frame geometry for their riding style and terrain. The high setting adds more ground clearance, a good option for tight, technical terrain. In the low setting, the head tube gets slacker and the bottom bracket drops, ideal for confident handling at higher speeds. The middle position is neutral. In addition, a new headset flip chip adjusts reach so that riders can easily achieve their preferred positioning.

Rear wheel options

All models come with 29-inch front and rear wheels, but the flip chip lets you opt for a mixed wheel setup including a 27.5 rear. The stock 29-inch rear wheel optimizes stability and roll-over capabilities, while a 27.5 delivers a more agile, snappier feel and more saddle-to-tyre clearance in the rear. Some riders favor this mullet setup for riding steep, technical terrain.
