Giant Trance X Advanced 1 29er Mountain Bike 2024

About this bike

Float up technical climbs and sail down chunky descents. This all-new full-composite trail bike gives you 140mm of smooth Maestro rear suspension and all sorts of adjustability. You can dial in frame geometry and switch the rear wheel size for the terrain.
A new Advanced-grade composite frameset with Maestro suspension offers 5mm added travel compared to the previous generation going from 135mm to 140mm. The rear suspension is paired with a 150mm fork. The frame is equipped with two three-position flip chips for the ultimate in versatility and adjustability. The rear flip chip located on the Maestro rocker arm lets you adjust frame geometry and fine-tune handling for riding style and terrain. A second flip chip at the headset makes it easy to change the reach offering 10mm (-5mm 0mm or +5mm) of adjustment without having to swap your stem. Also new is an integrated down tube storage compartment to carry trail-riding essentials.

Key Performance Factors


More Travel
New Maestro rear suspension adds 5mm of travel over previous generation going from 135mm to 140mm. A trunnion mount shock and Advanced Forged Composite rocker arm combine for a longer stroke with a smooth active feel. Rear suspension is paired with a 150mm travel fork for superior confidence and control on technical singletrack terrain.


Adjustable trail geometry
A three-position Maestro flip chip lets you dial in frame geometry for your riding style and terrain. The high setting adds more ground clearance a good option for tight technical terrain. The low setting creates a slacker head angle and lower bottom bracket for confident handling at higher speeds. The middle position is neutral. In addition a new headset flip chip provides 10mm of reach adjustment.


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 setup optimises stability and roll-over speed while a 27.5 rear wheel delivers a snappier feel and more saddle-to-tire clearance. Some riders favour this “mullet” setup for riding steep technical terrain.














Advanced Composite Technology



Giant’s High Performance Grade raw carbon material is used to produce this custom frame material in our own composite factory with a high stiffness-to-weight ratio. The front triangle of these framesets is assembled and molded as one continuous piece in a proprietary manufacturing process called Modified Monocoque Construction.


Advanced Forged Composite Technology

A state-of-the-art high-pressure moulding process is used to produce complex-shaped carbon fibre components that are lighter stiffer and stronger than similar components made from aluminium. This technology is used in critical performance parts such as Maestro Suspension rocker links.



MAESTRO SUSPENSION TECHNOLOGY


Four strategically positioned pivot points and two linkages all work together to create a single floating pivot for the most active efficient and independent suspension system on the trail.

OVERDRIVE


Giant’s original oversized fork steerer tube technology. Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance the system’s oversized headset bearings (1 1/4” lower and 1 1/8” upper for road 1 1/2” lower and 1 1/8” upper for mountain) and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness.

TUBELESS SYSTEM


Fewer flat tires. Greater traction. Less rolling resistance and a smoother faster ride. Giant’s Tubeless System makes it easier than ever to experience all these benefits.

Weight


The most accurate way to determine any bike’s weight is to have your local dealer weigh it for you. Many brands strive to list the lowest possible weight but in reality weight can vary based on size finish hardware and accessories. All our bikes are designed for best-in-class weight and ride quality.
