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 Fox Float X2 Performance rear shock with 140mm of travel and an adjustable 140-160mm Fox 34 Talas Performance 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 Giant dropper post keeps you in the perfect shred-ready position, and SRAM 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.
