Meet the Trance X Advanced E+ Elite, the world's lightest full-power E-MTB from Giant. With a breakthrough battery technology and advanced cockpit control, this bike delivers full power, speed, and control on the trail.

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 how to calculate and adjust the sag of your bicycle suspension for optimal performance in different riding disciplines. From cross country to enduro, find the perfect setting for your riding style.

Setting the Perfect Sag: A Guide to Optimizing Bicycle Suspension

Calculating the sag (amount of compression) of a bicycle suspension is an important step in properly setting up the suspension for a specific discipline.

For cross country riding, a general guideline is to set the sag at around 15-25% of the total suspension travel. This allows for efficient pedaling and good small bump compliance.

For trail riding, a sag setting of 25-30% is a good starting point. This provides a balance of pedaling efficiency and good handling in technical terrain.

For enduro or downhill riding, a sag setting of 30-35% is recommended. This allows for maximum absorption of big hits and improved stability in rough terrain.

Aaron Gwin turn

To measure sag, start by setting the suspension to the recommended pressure or damping for your weight. Sit on the bike in a normal riding position and have a friend measure the distance between a fixed point on the suspension and the same point on the bike while you are seated. Then, stand up and compress the suspension by pushing down on the handlebars and have your friend measure the distance again. The difference between the two measurements is the sag.

It's important to note that these are general guidelines and your personal preferences, riding style, and the specific bike and suspension setup can also affect the ideal sag setting. It is recommended to experiment with different sag settings and find what works best for you.
