Bicycling magazine chose the Trance X3 as one of the top trail bikes in their April 2012 Buyer’s Guide issue. Read below to find out why.
ON THE RIDE:
“Giant’s top-shelf mountain bikes feature advanced suspension designs and intricate engineering…That manufacturing skill is apparent in the Trance X3…high-speed stability and cornering ability, which encouraged us to let the Trance fly downhill…a quick-handling bike that whips down tight singletrack.”
ON THE SPEC:
“The X3 comes with fantastic parts… not often found on bikes at this price…a Fox fork with 15mm thru-axle…Giant brand wheels are tubeless-ready…Shimano front derailleur and triple crank shift superbly…paired with a capable SRAM rear derailleur and cassette”
BUYING ADVICE:
“Time to give Giant credit: It builds one heckuva mountain bike. Buy it if you value quality and performance”
