Giant Trance X Advanced E+ Elite: The Ultimate Full-Power E-MTB

Giant Bicycles has announced the release of their latest electric mountain bike, the Trance X Advanced E+ Elite, which promises full power and full speed on any terrain. Boasting one of the lightest full-power E-MTB in the world.

One of the key features of the Trance X Advanced E+ Elite is its breakthrough battery technology. While many lightweight
							E-MTBs have a reduced motor output due to the use of smaller batteries to achieve lower weights, the EnergyPak 400 in the
							Trance X Advanced E+ Elite is co-developed with Panasonic and uses higher volume battery cells. This makes it possible to have
							a full-power motor with a battery that's half the weight of previous generations.

Giant Trance X Advanced E+ 

The EnergyPak 400 battery system is at the core of the Trance X Advanced E+ Elite's lightweight design, shaving off a full 4kg (9 pounds) off the previous generation. The bike's frameset and components are also engineered to minimize weight without compromising on stiffness, strength, and off-road durability. From the full composite frameset made with Advanced-grade composite material to the innovative Contact SLR Trail integrated one-piece handlebar/stem unit, every component is optimized for lightweight performance.


In addition to its lightweight design, the Trance X Advanced E+ Elite features advanced cockpit control with multiple control units. The RideControl Go button on the top tube lets riders easily change support levels and has an on/off button with colored LED lights to indicate support mode and battery level. The Ergo 3 remote, integrated with the handlebar grips, features three buttons and a minimalist design with tapered, size-specific grips. The control units can also be used with any replacement grip. The remote can be mounted on either side of the bar, and there's an option to add a second Ergo 3 to control features such as walk-assist mode or lights. Adjustments can also be made using the RideControl App, which gives riders the ability to customize the motor performance for their individual needs.

Giant mobile connectivity

The Trance X Advanced E+ Elite is equipped with the SyncDrive Pro motor, which delivers 85Nm of torque and a 400 percent support ratio. The motor has an automatic adaptive support mode called Smart Assist that uses six sensors to determine the precise amount of power needed while riding variable terrain. Smart Assist also maximizes battery efficiency, ensuring that riders conserve energy while achieving maximum performance.


Finally, the Trance X Advanced E+ Elite features Maestro suspension technology, which delivers 140mm of rear travel for smooth control on rugged singletrack terrain. Combined with a 150mm suspension fork and a mixed wheel build - a larger 29-inch front for stability and roll-over capabilities, and a 27.5-inch rear for agility on the trail - it's an ideal setup that balances responsive handling with confidence and control.


Giant trance

In summary, the Trance X Advanced E+ Elite is a game-changing electric mountain bike from Giant Bicycles, designed to take riders to new heights with its lightweight design, advanced cockpit control, and Maestro suspension technology. With full power and full speed on any terrain, this bike is a must-have for any serious mountain biker.

Learn the difference between high speed and low speed regulation on a bicycle suspension and how to set it up for optimal performance.

Setting Up Bicycle Suspension: High Speed and Low Speed

Bike suspension is an essential component that helps to improve the overall ride quality, traction, and control of your bike. But, many riders are not familiar with how to set it up correctly to suit their riding style and preferences. In this post, we’ll explore the difference between high speed and low speed regulation on a bicycle suspension and how to set it up for optimal performance.

High speed regulation refers to how the suspension reacts to bigger impacts and high-speed bumps, such as big rocks or jumps. Low speed regulation refers to how the suspension reacts to small bumps and pedaling inputs, such as roots or small rocks.

To set up the high-speed regulation, you will need to adjust the compression damping. Compression damping controls how fast the suspension compresses during a high-speed impact. If the compression damping is set too low, the suspension will compress too quickly and can cause the bike to bottom out. If the compression damping is set too high, the suspension will not compress enough and can cause the bike to feel harsh and unforgiving.

On the other hand, low speed regulation is controlled by the rebound damping. Rebound damping controls how fast the suspension extends after a high-speed impact. If the rebound damping is set too low, the suspension will extend too quickly and can cause the bike to feel bouncy and unstable. If the rebound damping is set too high, the suspension will extend too slowly and can cause the bike to feel sluggish and unresponsive.

RockShox suspensions compression

When setting up your suspension, it's important to start with the recommended settings for your weight and riding style, and then make adjustments based on your personal preferences and the specific bike and suspension setup. Experiment with different high speed and low speed regulation settings and find what works best for you.

In summary, high speed and low speed regulation are two important aspects of setting up your bicycle suspension correctly. Understanding the difference and how to adjust them can help you improve your overall ride quality, traction, and control. Don't be afraid to experiment and find the perfect settings for your riding style.
