There\u2019s 150mm at the fork and it still rolls on 29in wheels front and rear, but now has a 625Wh battery pack.<\/p>\n
The Yamaha-made SyncDrive Pro Motor for the 2022 bike has been made lighter and more compact, while getting more torque, and is claimed to make less noise.<\/p>\n
Prices start at \u00a35,999 \/ $6,800 for the Trance X E+ 2 Advanced and rise to \u00a37,999 \/ $9,300 \/ AU$12,799\u00a0for the range-topping Trance X Advanced E+ 0.<\/p>\n

To achieve the desired performance balance, the front triangle is said to be layered up and moulded as one single section of carbon in a process called Modified Monocoque Construction. The rear end is also made from carbon fibre, as is the Maestro suspension upper-rocker link.<\/p>\n
The Maestro suspension \u2013 as used on most of Giant\u2019s full-suspension bikes, and the Trance X Advanced E+ \u2013 has 140mm of travel. It has two co-rotating links to give virtual pivot placement that creates \u201cthe most active, efficient and independent suspension system on the trail,\u201d according to Giant.<\/p>\n

The suspension system is similar in theory and practice to other twin-link systems on the market, including Dave Weagle<\/a>\u2019s DW-Link, Santa Cruz\u2019s VPP and Intense\u2019s JS Tuned system. Pivot placement enables the brand to tune attributes such as anti-squat, progression, leverage rate and anti-rise.<\/p>\nIn the case of the new Trance X Advanced E+, Giant doesn\u2019t divulge any details on the system\u2019s specific kinematics, however.<\/p>\n

The motor is paired with a 625Wh battery pack, but it\u2019s also compatible with Giant\u2019s EnergyPak Plus, a 250Wh range-extender external battery.<\/p>\n
The bike is coupled with a new handlebar remote that has three buttons, called RideControl Ergo 3, that can be mounted on either the left- or right-hand side of the bars, and can be paired with a second remote with user-programmable controls in the RideControl smartphone app.<\/p>\n
