However, the three small buttons can be freely assigned via the RideControl app. The minimalist RideControl Ergo3 remote is well-positioned and sits flush with the left grip, but doesn’t provide the same excellent haptics as Shimano’s remote. The new SyncDrive Pro2 motor is based on Yamaha’s PW-X3 powerhouse and paired with GIANT’s in-house system components. Jersey ION Tee Seek LS | Shorts ION Scrub | Kneepad ION K-Pact Zip | Shoes ION Scrub Amp Helmet MET Bluegrass Rogue Core MIPS | Glasses 100% Glendale | Backpack USWE Flow 25 Protector Exemplary – the 220 mm front rotor of the GIANT Trance X E+1 is the biggest in the entire test field and packs a punch even with heavy riders and on long descents. The buttons can be freely assigned via the app but don’t provide the best haptic feedback. As far as looks go, the Bosch LED remote can take example from the Ride Ergo3 remote. Welded by an apprentice? The weld-seams are huge and aren’t smoothed out properly. The smaller installation space results in better ground clearance, which comes in handy on technical climbs. The GIANT SyncDrive Pro2 motor is smaller, lighter and slightly more powerful than its predecessor. Although the even weight distribution keeps the front wheel tracking in open corners, the Trance X E+1 is a lot more fun uphill than it is downhill. While handlebars with more rise would definitely help, they wouldn’t eliminate the root cause of the problem: the geometry of the bike and short head tube. At the same time, you’ll have to wrestle the long chainstays to pull manuals and pop into the air. Downhill, the heavy front requires great physical effort and good riding skills, making it hard to bring the GIANT to life.
Try and convince the GIANT to do anything other than climb, and it will refuse – just like that weird kid who wanted to stay on the tree. The super-active rear suspension controls 140 mm travel and sticks to the ground like velcro, generating tons of traction on technical climbs. On steeper climbs, the position is nicely balanced, distributing the weight evenly between the wheels and keeping the 29″ front wheel planted on the ground. The GIANT Trance X E+ 1 2022 is damn stubborn and wants to climb highĮven with a tall stack of spacers under the stem, the pedalling position is front-heavy, putting a fair amount of pressure on your wrists.
