2017 Giant Trance Advanced 2 27.5″ Mountain Bike

Climb faster and descend with more control. The Giant Trance Advanced 2 is a full sus carbon trail mountain bike that is perfect for ripping out laps of your favourite trail network yet is still lightweight enough for cross country adventures.

The all new Advanced-Grade carbon composite frame is now stronger and lighter. The new Trunnion shock mount has allowed for a more compact design while the Advanced Forged Composite Rocker further reduces weight while increasing stiffness. The Boost hub spacing (110 front/148 rear) improves wheel stiffness and offers more tyre clearance for the trail optimized 27.5” TRX carbon composite MTB wheels.

The Rock Shox Yari RC fork gives you 150mm of plush suspension travel up front to soak up the big hits on the trail. The Maestro rear suspension platform offers 140mm of fully active rear suspension travel that keeps on working even while pedalling and braking.

Offering easy shifting over a wide range of gears is the SRAM GX 1×11 speed drivetrain. SRAM Guide R brakes give you easy confident stopping power while the Giant Contact SL dropper post allows you to make the most of every trail section.

Climb like an xc racer and descend like an enduro pro on the Giant Trance Advanced 2.
