Trance X 4 - "Great to ride for any skill level"
Giant Trance X 4 wins MBR test with a 10/10!

Hot on the heels of Giant's recent test winning TCR Advanced 4 in Triathlon Plus, Giant's Maestro suspension system continues the winning ways on the mountain side of things in June's MBR Magazine as the Giant Trance X4 rises to the top of the pile in the 1K Wonders budget bouncers test. Even better - it's the front cover star!

"As usual, the finish and construction on the Giant frame is top notch and could easily pass for a bike costing more than double the £995 asking price."

The Trance X's 'beautifully engineered' Fluid Formed chassis boasting 5 inches of Maestro suspended magic did the business and felt 'super solid and stiff on the trail' with Giant's own brand shock 'hassle free' and easy to set up.

Giant's new Contact componentry gets a nod of approval; "an excellent wide bar" fitted to the Trance X 4 along with the new Sole-O Lock On Grips with colour coded anodised lock rings.

With the 'super-stiff' and well balanced frame transferring the power through Maestro's 'active and well controlled' suspension system the Trance X4 offers 'stacks of grip to inspire confidence and lets you really enjoy the trails.'

"Bottom line is the Giant simply feels sorted, steady and surefooted yet still capable of good speed...The Giant Trance X4 is an excellent bike for the money and easily the best on test...you get the best frame on test with great potential to upgrade over time. It also costs £100 less than the less-dialled Specialized."

"A stiff and solid frame with good geometry and a sorted suspension make the Giant Trance X4 first class at cornering, climbing and descending - what more do you need?"

With 10/10 this is a must read! The latest issue of MBR Magazine is on sale now.
