Overview
About this bike
Boosting off roots, snapping out of corners, tackling steep drops: do it all with confidence on Giant's Trance 27.5 3. Up and down the mountain, the ALUXX SL aluminum frame is light and stiff to get up and go, while the Maestro rear suspension along with RockShox Monarch R shock deliver 140mm of bump-swallowing travel that lets you float over rock gardens. Up front, a RockShox Sektor Gold RL leads the charge with 140mm of forgiving travel on chattery trails or big hits. Speaking of charging forward, the wide-ranging Shimano Deore 2x10 drivetrain keeps you going with quick, smooth shifts every time. And when it comes time to dive hard into the switchbacks, Giant's 27.5-inch wheels respond with agility while the Schwalbe tires bite into terra firma and Shimano discs scrub speed reliably.
