Giant unveiled the all-new Trance X E+, a versatile and adaptable E-MTB that's designed to extend riders' capabilities on a wide range of terrain.

• With its powerful new motor, adjustable geometry and proven Maestro suspension system, Trance X E+ is designed to help riders push new limits and have more fun on the trail.
• Higher mountains, longer descents, bigger adventures on challenging terrain. It's all possible with the new Trance X E+.
• The new RideControl Ergo 3 handlebar remote can be mounted on the left or right side of the handlebar and allows for a clean cockpit setup.
• This new multipurpose control is integrated into the top tube and features colored LED lights. It allows you to switch power modes while riding, and it also displays battery level.
• A flip chip feature located on the upper rocker arm of the Maestro rear suspension lets you adjust frame geometry for riding style and terrain. You can change the head tube and seat tube angles, along with the bottom bracket height, to fine-tune the handling.
• The Trance X E+ frameset features a Maestro suspension system with 140mm of rear travel to help riders roll over technical terrain with confidence and control.
• The Trance X E+ 1 model features a Fox Float X Performance rear shock, Fox 36 Float Performance 150mm fork, and Shimano Deore XT drivetrain components. Availability varies by market.
• The Trance X E+ 2 model features a Fox 36 Float Rhythm rear shock, a Fox 38 Float Factory 150mm fork, and Shimano drivetrain components. Availability varies by market.
• The Trance X E+ 3 model features a RockShox Deluxe R rear shock, RockShox 35 Gold RL 150mm fork, and Shimano drivetrain components. Availability varies by market.

The Trance X E+ is built on an ALUXX SL aluminum frameset that's paired with a new high-performance SyncDrive Pro motor and proven Maestro suspension system. Here's a look at some of the key new features and technologies that make it a great choice for riders looking to step up their trail riding adventures and have more fun on technical terrain.

SMOOTH, POWERFUL SUPPORT

The new SyncDrive Pro motor produces 85Nm of torque, delivering powerful pedaling assistance even at low speeds. This gives riders the ability to ride technical climbs and push their off-road adventures to a new level. The compact motor, co-developed with Yamaha, is significantly lighter than the previous generation for improved agility and efficiency.

The powertrain includes SmartAssist technology, an automatic adaptive support mode. Instead of manually choosing a support mode (Power, Sport, Active, Basic or Eco), riders can opt to ride with SmartAssist, an intelligent system that uses six sensors and advanced algorithms to determine the optimal amount of pedaling support on variable terrain. SmartAssist also maximizes efficiency for both the battery and the rider by always using the right amount of energy. Select models are now powered by the new EnergyPak 750, Giant's most advanced battery system. Cleanly integrated into the downtube, it increases range by up to 20 percent.

TRAIL-RIDING CONTROL

The Maestro suspension system delivers 140mm of smooth, active rear-wheel travel. The rear system is combined with a 150mm suspension fork, and the frame geometry is optimized for 29-inch wheels. The result is a plush feel that gives riders more momentum on technical climbs and the confidence to fly on fast, rugged descents.

The new RideControl Go multi-function on/off button and RideControl Ergo 3 handlebar-mounted remote offer user-friendly controls and an uncluttered cockpit design. RideControl Go is located on the top tube, making it quick and easy to power on the E-bike and change the motor settings.

Beyond the new frameset and electronic updates, the new Trance X E+ includes a full set of components designed specifically for trail riding. All models feature the Giant Contact Switch dropper seatpost with a handlebar remote that makes it easy to adjust positioning on the fly.

ADAPTABLE TO THE TERRAIN

A new flip chip feature lets you change the head tube and seat tube angles, along with the bottom bracket height, to fine-tune handling for varying trail conditions and individual riding style. The low setting gives you slacker geometry that's better suited to faster, more open terrain. The high setting offers steeper geometry and is recommended for tight, technical trails. It's a quick and easy adjustment using two-position flip chips and hardware.

In both settings, the geometry is designed to optimize the superior roll-over capabilities of 29-inch wheels. Boost hub spacing improves lateral wheel stiffness, and the frameset is engineered with plenty of clearance for high-volume tires up to 2.6 inches. Every Trance X E+ model comes with a Giant tubeless wheelset and tires set up right out of the box.

Giant's SmartAssist technology uses six smart sensors that precisely measure the power being applied to the pedals so the motor can provide just the right amount of assistance to create a natural, powerful riding experience in all types of off-road terrain. This helps optimize energy efficiency for both the rider and the bike.
