Smooth suspension, progressive geometry, and a flip chip to adjust handling and dial in your ride.
Dial it in for your riding style and terrain
A flip chip on the Maestro suspension rocker arm lets you choose a steeper or slacker head tube and seat tube angle depending on your riding style and terrain. There are two settings, high or low. The high position puts an emphasis on efficiency and is ideal for riding slower, tighter singletrack terrain. The low setting is recommended for faster, more open terrain. Switching to low makes the head tube angle slacker, which places the front wheel a bit farther out in front of the rider for a more confident feel on steeper terrain and drops.
Speed and stability
Both the geometry and suspension setup of the Trance Advanced 29 are optimized for its 29-inch wheels. The frame is designed with a slightly longer rear-center measurement (2mm longer than previous generation), which increases rear tire clearance to 2.5 inches. The reach is longer and the seat tube angle is steeper, which helps improve climbing capabilities. It all adds up to a bike that rolls over rugged terrain with balance and stability, giving you the momentum to tackle technical climbs and the confidence to fly on fast, rugged singletrack descents.
Additional Features of the Trance Range
An updated Maestro rear suspension system features 5mm added travel compared to the previous generation. The result is a smooth, active feel that gives riders 120mm of rear suspension paired with a 130mm fork for maximum control on technical singletrack terrain. From chunky descents to steep, rocky climbs, it offers just the right blend of speed and control.
