RWOGmtb (riding with old guy mtb) Review of 2022 Giant Trance X 1 27.5. 160/145 trail bike, New Bike Day first ride The Giant Trance Models are a great fit for the riding we do. They are trail bikes that pedal well enough to be comfortable riding the flat FL trail systems with narrow switchbacks and short punchy climbs. Additionally, they have enough travel to be fun for the bike park trips we take each season to Snowshoe Mountain Bike Park, Bryce Bike Park and others.
