2017 Giant Trance 1 27.5″ Mountain Bike

Lighter and stiffer, the all-new Giant Trance 1 is a full sus trail mountain bike that thrives in all conditions on any terrain.

Offering dialled trail geometry, the ALUXX SL-Grade aluminium frame has been completely redesigned for 2017 and is now stiffer and lighter than ever. The Maestro suspension platform offers 140mm of fully active suspension travel that keeps on working even while pedalling and braking while making efficient use of your leg power on the climbs.

The Advanced Forged Composite Rocker further reduces weight while increasing stiffness. Boost spacing (110 front/148 rear) also adds stiffness while increasing tyre clearance for the trail optimized 27.5” Giant TRX carbon composite MTB wheelset.

The Fox 34 Performance Elite fork offers 150mm of plush suspension travel with composed performance over rough, technical terrain and is perfectly matched to the Fox Float rear shock. Both on-the-fly compression damping adjustments so you can adapt to varying trail conditions.

The slick shifting Shimano XT 1×11 speed drivetrain and Contact SL seatpost round off the sorted spec list of the Giant Trance 1.
