At 5ft 11\u2033 I chose the size large. The Trance has a nice long top tube and this is matched with a 45mm stem which works great for me as an aggressive trail bike. It gives me sharp steering and a stable bike downhill due to the slack enough head angle (basically front wheel quite far in front of me).<\/p>\n<p><strong> Secondly: <\/strong> \u00a0the suspension.\u00a0Giant use a twin link suspension system and in my experience (27 years riding and racing) they are the best types of suspension systems! Plus, Giant frames are the well made. The quality you\u2019ll find in this bike comes at a lower price point than any other brand.<\/p>\n<p>See the latest <u><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edinburghbicycle.com\/bikes\/giant\"> Giant Bikes <\/a><\/strong><\/u> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edinburghbicycle.com\/bikes\/giant\/electric-bikes\"> Giant electric bikes <\/a><\/p>\n<p>The new top link and metric shock mounts coupled with boost spacing gives you a nice supple suspension action with no pedal feed back or brake jack. It also comes with tonnes of mud clearance (ideal for rough and muddy tracks).<\/p>\n<p>After a year and a half of hard use my pivot bearings\u00a0 are still nice and smooth! Saving workshop time\/maintenance.<\/p>\n<p><em> So from long technical xc runs, endurance races, up lift days at Innerleithen downhill tracks to steep enduro tracks at Dunkeld, my Giant Trance does it all! <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Here are some pics from my latest ride with two awesome ladies to\u00a0Glentress\u00a0where we\u00a0ascending and descending all-day. We passed the radio mast three times (the highest point in Glentress) and we did 1200 meters of climbing in 31km! So that\u2019s a tonne of steep up and down for 31k off road. Needless to say, my Trance stood up to the challenge like I knew it would.<\/p>\n<div class=\"clearfix\" style=\"text-align: center;padding: 5px 0 10px\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"column\" style=\"background-color: #fff\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: 600px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edinburghbicycle.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/2025\/04\/5316_2340_2874_forresty.jpg\" alt=\"forresty.jpg\" \/><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"column\" style=\"background-color: #fff\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: 600px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edinburghbicycle.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/2025\/04\/9816_2340_2875_cycle-path.jpg\" alt=\"cycle-path.jpg\" \/><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"column\" style=\"background-color: #fff\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: 600px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edinburghbicycle.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/2025\/04\/7216_2340_2878_moutain-biking.jpg\" alt=\"moutain-biking.jpg\" \/><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: 600px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edinburghbicycle.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/2025\/04\/2316_2340_2880_shop-giant-trance-bikes.jpg\" alt=\"shop-giant-trance-bikes.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edinburghbicycle.com\/bikes\/giant\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: 600px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edinburghbicycle.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/2025\/04\/3716_2340_2879_shop-all-giant-bikes.jpg\" alt=\"shop-all-giant-bikes.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"blog-entry-social-media\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"blog-entry-tags\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Giant Trance is &#8220;the perfect trail bike&#8221; according to one of our staff members.
