Overview
About this bike
Work less on your way to the top so you can get seriously rowdy on the way down! Giant's Trance SX 27.5's light, yet burly ALUXX SL aluminum frame and Maestro rear suspension make it possible. A RockShox Monarch Plus Debonair rear shock with 140mm of travel and a 140-160mm adjustable RockShox Pike RC fork make getting loose and charging hard the standard. They're dialed for your riding needs: stiff for efficient climbing, plush for zesty descending, and just right for everything in between. The gearing is just as sweet with a SRAM X01 1x11 drivetrain that gives you quick shifts along with chain security to keep you pedaling even when the trail's bouncing you all over the place. And, the dropper post keeps you in the perfect shred-ready position, and Avid Guide R discs are adept at scrubbing speed smoothly before you're leaning the 27.5-inch Giant thru-axle wheels and Schwalbe rubber over. Up and down, this rig is dialed; technical terrain doesn't stand a chance.
