Description
Full-Composite Progressive Trail Architecture
The Giant Trance Advanced 2 2024 introduces uncompromised speed and aggressive trail kinematics directly into your singletrack and backcountry adventures. Giant builds this ultra-responsive frameset using premium Advanced-Grade Composite raw carbon material for both the front and rear triangles. Optimized for modern, progressive trail riding, the chassis features a longer reach and a steeper seat tube angle. This design places the rider in an ideal position for aggressive bike handling and significantly improved climbing capabilities, ensuring no power is wasted on technical ascents.
Customizable Flip-Chip Geometry Control
Varying trail conditions and individual riding styles require a bike that can adapt on the fly. Therefore, Giant integrates an innovative flip-chip feature directly into the Maestro suspension linkage. With a quick mechanical adjustment, you can fine-tune the head tube angle, seat tube angle, and bottom bracket height. Choose the low position for a slacker, lower setup optimized for high-speed, rugged descents, or flip it to the high position to sharpen the handling for tight, technical singletrack and efficient climbing.
