2024 Giant Trance X Review: It Now Has a Home 

By far the best bike reviewer

Seems like alot of local brick n mortar bike shops love Giant. Maybe cause good margins and support etc. I only buy at local shops to support these awesome folks for making my day in a hobby I love. Thank you!

Damn your pumping these reviews out right in time for the spring season! Glad to see more of my favorite MTB review channel, can't wait for more E-MTB content as well as I'm considering joining the dark side

still ripping my X Trance 2, 2021....it can handle downhill quite well...and the rockshox pike that i have i upgraded it to 160mm from 150mm

Great review! My wife had the 2023 Trance X 29, your assessment 100%. Nice improvement on this model.

New subscriber to your channel because of this great video review, thank you. I've been on the fence about getting the Trance X, you've just made my mind up.

@ehosey2 i still have my 2018 Trance 2 with the 27.5 wheels. Still a great bike. I have upgraded the shifter and RD to XT. I am still running the Fox 34 Rythm but replaced the rear Float DPS with a Fox Float X. However, the stock dropper post needs to be replaced and would like to upgrade the 23mm stock rims. Now, Giant releases these new Trance X models and I am torn between upgrading my Trance 2 or moving to the new Trance X1. Only thing I am not certain on is moving to 29 inch wheels. I am 5'8" and ride a medium but thinking maybe a small size with the 29r. Fantastic reviews by the way.

Solid review! How does it compare to the updated/burlier Occam LT? You had a shootout between the 2 bikes a few years ago that was great.

both my elbows are roasted on both sides from riding. I even make sure to ease grip pressure. does thi likely mean i need my bars closer?

Looks a great all-rounder, as someone who is generally in between sizes I like the idea of the reach adjustment!

Love your reviews! After all the trail bikes you have reviewed recently, what’s your pick?

Is the black one only available in Canada? I only see a grey one on the Giant website.

I didn't calculate the angles but my 2023 trance X29 has currently a 185x60 dpx2 shock and a 180mm rst stich fork, total randomness and inappropriate parts but I like it better like that 😂

How would this compare to the pivot switchblade?

What tires do you like for dry conditions

If 95% of your riding is at places where you start and finish at a trailhead car park so therefore any downhill you get is directly proportional to the amount of uphill riding would you recommend this platform (Trance X) or the Trance 29er 130/120 travel Fox 34

Damn you may talked me into this bike as my alternative to my eMTB 🤔🤔

Whats the difference between the Reign and Trance? Seems almost identical.

Sounds like a good "first MTB" bike.

I'm glad Giant has finally caught up to modern standards. It only took them like 6 years? I've always loved the Trance, such a versatile and reliable bike, but I always had to modify mine to make it better at going fast and steep. Nice to see it is now capable right out of the box.

Is the standard Trance also getting redesigned for 2025?

Uhm….Hightower maybe?😊 Seems geo and use & etc mirrors the HT3.

This guy knows how to review a bike

Which of this new crop of 140mm bikes would you have if you lived in St. George?

This vs Bronson?

If you climb more, stick with the old trance x, if you descend more, go with the new Trance X.

The Trance X is no longer a Trail bike, it's an All Mountain bike through and through.
