What do you think of the new Trance Advanced E+? Let us know 👇
I don't think i just have it 😂
i think i was waiting for it from the beginning of 2021 when rumors about this new bike came to my ears. the problem is to find it. i told the seller to keep me a small size trance when avaiable and he told me that giant gave to him only 1 M and 1 L size. he also doesn't know when he'll have possibility to book more...
btw my 2019 is still a good ebike, i've done 9000 km with that and had no problems. i want to made this upgrade passing the "old" one to my gf as soon as possible.
one strange choice that giant made is not to sell top E+ 0 in italy... bah not a smart idea i suppose
Turbo Levo , Rail or Trance ?? Help !!! Big guy wanting a powerfull smooth ride !!
Hi Steve, how does the motor stack up compared with the Bosh in terms of power ?
@@kcimages5157 levo :)
Congrats!!! Long time waiting for the channel to finally include Giant into the reviews and videos!! Love my Trance e+1
I demo a 2022 Trace at the Int Moto show in So Cal last weekend and yea Giant/Yamaha got the Trace spot on. The PW-X3 motor feels great, its right there with the CX PerformanceLine motor and the Trace suspension is active & has a a bottomless feeling to it.
Finally u guys are reckoning one of the best brands on the market, Cheers, Herron W.A👍😎👏
My bike, just a 2020 model and I LOVE IT!
Awesome production! I've been on the Trance for 3 years now... they just keep getting better! Love the Yamaha.
It's a cool motor right!
I'm the same bomb proof
I have one of those bikes but it's a 2020 and they super fun to ride and the motor is very strong. Mine is candy apple red in color. But man I love that bike. So fun to ride and it handles perfectly!
This was already a great bike and now is The new King and smashes Specialized for value too.
Yep I was looking at a Levo and stumbled across one of these on sale and bought it. Amazing bike.. a hell of a lot of fun!
LIfe is tough....thanks for taking one for the team!
Just picked up my Trance + E P3. Took my first ride.
"Holy Crap" the power is just perfect!! Got some steep hills and roads nearby.
tyres
Thanks for that great ride review Steve! Based on your review and comparison with the 2022 Reign E+1 I changed my pre-order to this bike (Trance X E+1 with alloy frame, full XT, 750 wh, and Fox performance suspension) as its more suited to my terrain in the foothills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains around Calgary, Bragg Creek, Banff, Canmore. Thanks for the feedback on the PWX3 motor! It looks/sounds great!
@Charles Boyd Hey Charles..where did u order from? I'm in Calgary myself..
Cheers
Needed to hear MORE about thay YAHAMA motor!!! Bike looks sooooo sick!!! Thanks for the review!!! Cheers
I'm thinking I might really like this bike, because I love technical climbing more than descending. The Reign looks nice too, but I think for the trail exploring I like to do, the Trance might be a better fit for me.
In some countries for € 8,499 you get a wife, her sister, her family & the whole village with it.
That's why the bike is better
@@unfurling3129 FACT!
😂
Nice bike and the first to comment. Keep up the good work from your friends in Cyprus!
O great, I wanted to buy the 2021 model but decided to wait for the 2022 model. This Giant will be my next bike. I loved the previous Yamaha motor, but it was a big too big. New one looks great.
2020 trance here but upgraded to 36s at 170 and a 160 rear coil shock turned it into an absolute beast 😳👌
What size is the coil or what fits ! Is the 2022 bike the same
Just bought one last week !!!
Great review and great looking bike! You mentioned 3 models in aluminium, any news on those models ?
Wonder if they addressed the water ingress issues many people on the Facebook Group seemed to have with older models?
Well it dealt with continuous flow of sweat off me pretty well hahaha
They already had by 2021 really.
Wow amazing
Very good video. Be careful, you drive with tires that are a little too inflated, I think 👍🏻👍🏻😘
I ride the trance e+2 on road to my work everyday. Does a great job on bumpy roads, crushes through icy slush. It accelerates well and helps climb those steep city slopes. It doesn't feel that heavy with no assist, was able to push it till 15mph. Full suspension ❤️
What forks has it got
@@hairyhomerify Fox 36 Float Performance in black.
Great Review and comes across as a great trail bike and climber.! Obviously not quite as powerful as the Bosch Gen 4 but I think would be a great all rounder.!
It's a close one that Dean!
Rear spokes are working hard at 10:35
Has anyone ever not liked a brand new eMTB? Wouldn't it be better to test it after say 5000km at least?
Then you could gage the wear points and consumables...
Great deal awesome bike
Any thoughts on how this compares to the Orbea Rise?
Got my wife the Stance E+ 2. Amazing bike and spec, amazing price £3300
That’s a decent price, might look at one for my mine.
I know there are tons of variables, but what type of general range can a bike like this get on a charge??
Mine is e Trance e+2 2020 and also love it
Absolutely awesome bikes. It goes up and down, plush suspension, great motor, and also looks so great. I was choosing between Reign and Trance and luckily I chose Trance.
hopefully they fix the ride control app.. it’s been a pita to use on my giant ebike… other than that you can’t go wrong with Giant ebikes (YAMAHA ftw)!!
Lovely bike , like most , wish I could afford one ☝️
How does the Yamaha motor cope with the wet and mud of winter ?
How do you feel about carbon frame only carbon here in the us never had a carbon frame. Care wise what's the difference?
Not a hundred percent sold on a single pivot using the maestro. Already snapped clean through a rocker arm already and I’m predicting to smash another at some point
Guys, is the battery easy to remove, kind of quick release, please? Thx
I think Giant have realised that they need to promote their product more than in the past. Although we all love EMBN and the content, most of the reviews are paid promotion. When the first Trance and Reign E bike came out there was nothing in the way of promotion/ reviews. The new stable looks great. Not sure why we need carbon frames on Ebikes though, the weight saved is minimal.
Hi there, yes it's a serious consideration indeed whether you need carbon right! I did actually cover the early Reign bikes on the channel and whilst we do flag up paid promotion such as this, which some people might not, in the past month we have also covered over a dozen other bikes too
@@dezzydiamond7121 There are some tests to failure of head-tubes in Santa Cruz's facilities for the "same" frame in Alu and Carbon, and what the carbon frame can handle over the alloy is insane, but in either case, forks are the weakest link, not the frame. Totally agree that when we are talking 20+ kg bikes, saving half a kilo should not be the goal.
Looks a nice bike. I have the trance x 2021 and from this and new reign looks like giant have upped there game on the ebike front . 👍
On my 2020 the motor just fine , but you have to waterproof the connectors and remote , hoping they fix that .
@@diegao83 my 2021 model has been fine and I have used it in really heavy rain and snow. It's not missed a beat. I no they sorted all the connectors for 2021 to help water ingress so I would think 2022 would be even more waterproof
@@carlyzf250 yep I have the 2021 and ridden lots in rain and woodland floods! been great... One thing is they need to sort out the water puddling in the lower back shock when you wash it, it does not drain and acts as a mud pit.
@@INLineCOMPUTERS1 ye it could do with a drain plug but iv not really notice mine holding water I will have a look next time I wash it. I just wish the motor had abit more ground clearance as on small slow drops I have caught it a couple of times.
I wonder how many places up the EWS leader board you would have come if you had used the NOX/Sachs combo
I wonder. Give it a go Tom!
Bravo, superbe revue.
J'ai pu essayer le Reign pendant 400km, je n'ai pas aimé. Disons qu'il ne correspondait pas à ma pratique malgré qu'il soit très bon et stable en descente.
J'ai maintenant le Trance Advanced e+2 avec la toute nouvelle batterie de 800 Wh.
J'adore, un régal. Mon velociste ne m'a pas poussé à prendre la nouvelle suspension, pour lui ça n'apporte pas grand chose, compliqué à régler puis la différence n'est pas assez importante, par contre c'est mieux d'avoir une grosse batterie.
Je changerais les plaquettes de frein Shimano qui n'ont pas les ailettes de refroidissement et de meilleurs disques qui sont basiques.
Looks a bit like Giant is trying to copy the Specialized Levo formula. Not a bad idea
My next ride!
At least this comes with decent tread.
The reigns supplied tyres are so 2014
does it do more then 28km an hr does it go to 50 km hr is it a fast electric like throttle bikes
So which is better for a 250 lb cross country rider, Trance or Reign ?????
Does it make any noisy climbing ? Mine does.....while my Giant Stance Ebike is whisper quiet.
Excuse my ignorance.. what is the black rubber thing under the top tube, above the rear shock? Tool storage attachment or something?
That's the Live Valve control box
According to Giant the Trance models are not available with the 750wh battery which makes the choice between Reign and Trance easy.
I think it's market dependant. In Poland there is Trance X E+1 that has 750 Wh battery.
Is it possible to buy? Or is it for looks
Aesthetically...the bike looks fantastic, but I like the rain a little better. But only a little.
Very tough question that Todd
Brilliant review makes me want 1 love the switchgear,minimalist, bosch need to take note build quality good only downside battery downtube loos bulky 👍FROM ME
Then you'll need to ride one soon Jonny
They are great bikes but hopefully the controller doesn't go out. My 2021 Trance X has been down for 5 months waiting for a replacement 🤨 my bike shop said there are 6 more trance X waiting for the replacement.
Great video
From the detail in the video I assume this bike was the new spec which is still not appearing on Giants UK website
What the weight on this bikes?
I want one 🚴
Can it fit the new 750Wh Battery? On their website the most expensive model for 8499€ only comes with the 625Wh one.
Hi Kai, yes i'm pretty sure you can!
@@stevejones7956 That would be great. The thickness of the downtube looks more like the 2020 Trance than the 2021 Reign. For that Price not being abel to put a 750Wh one in would be really bad. Strange that it do not already comes with one.
Did he mention the weight?
good motor bike
This or a Trek Rail 9 GX?
A real contender against a Specialized turbo Levo.
Looking at this or a rail but the amount of wires due to live valve is off-putting. Shame you can't get a trance e in Oz without live valve.
Super bike
I own one. Biggest complaint is the stupid low BB. It literally drags on the floor
How heavy or light is it? I cannot find any information about that online.
Heavy
Hi there, let me get back to you with exact weights
Wat mag zo'n fiets kosten
I have a Trance e+ 2 2020. Doesn't charge to 100% and app never worked. Rest of it is great.
Do I miss something or is the Reign way better specced for the same price (or even cheaper) than the Trance, for example the Right E+ 1 (6.199 Eur, Fox38, X2 Damper, XT Breaks) vs the Trance X Advanced E+ 2 (6.399 Eur, Fox 36, DPS Damper, Deore 420 Breaks) ??
It's the carbon your paying for
@@carlyzf250 Thanks, indeed, missed this point
What's this El yu Mineum you speak of?? : >
Question, you say it’s the most customizable EBike but doesn’t the EReign have the same suspension? Or is it the new shock that gives it its status?
Sorry didn't pay attention to the bike, was just watching Josh Carlson doing his thing 🤘🤘🤘
What is the trance nm.motor waffling to much
What kind of range can you get out of the 250Wh battery?
it depends of terrain and support mode. in my case 625Wh enough to get approx 60km range with 3km uphill so additional 250w add approx 30km and 1.5km uphill
@@Mr15012012 I thought the bike in the video came with a 250Wh battery. Are you saying it comes with a 625Wh?
@@greathoundAZ Yes, it comes with a 625wh battery; the 250wh are an optional extender, that you can mount on the frame
@@greathoundAZ yes 625wh main and you can buy extended 250wh
I'm on trance 2021 and with 625WH battery best I got was 50km with 1.8k elevation became battery went dead (most of the time on smallest assist mode) However my cousin who is lighter had still 25% left on same bike (smaller frame though) so the results might vary a lot.
Probably a great macine but so many features are such overkill for us trail pesents
Only missing a electric gear shifter
And no gloves?
Confident rider
👍🍺
Don't burn the house down.
This video views more like an advertisement than a review! How can it be possible that you have nothing bad to say about it? No bike is perfect! And you called this bike light!? In comparison to what?
I have the Trance e+1 2021 and its heavy. The auto assist mode is terrible as its sluggish to react.
The assistance mode customisability on the app is poor.
Doesn't having a motor defeat the purpose?
getting to far how much you can mess about with them now
Welcome to the father in heaven family
250 watts yawn..... My bike is 750 nominal 1150 peak the yamahas are slow to me
Giant battery warranty is junk
I have a specialized with bosch motor and my wife has a yamaha with yamaha motor since April, 2019.
I have no problem at all. However, my wife send two times 2020 and 2021 consecutive years to fix yamaha motor.
Please avoid yamaha. My wife no longer believe yamaha motor.
It is pronounced giant not giant.
Pronounced is pronounced pronounced
Enough of the mental health crisis music 😜
Lol it’s a trash bike … anything Yamaha and Giant is 💯stay away
Have you ever owned one? 10,000 km and no major problems on my Trance +1 pro. Original motor, unlike some mates on Specialized who have done less km and on 2nd and 3rd motors.
@@kevinhawkins9944lol I have a Specialized Levo with 6,000km original motor … you can’t compare just because you hear stories I know of 3 different people who had Giant and all motors failed including Yamaha … and it depends how you care for your bike in my opinion Giant and Yamaha are trash companies I had 2 ebikes with a Yamaha motor and both failed the second one was a replacement it failed Brose or Bosch are the best
I have a 2020 E Reign and it’s been amazing. I ride in the mountains of Lake Tahoe and it’s been superb going up and especially going downhill. No problems at all and for the price and spec my friends are really impressed. It’s my first E bike and after riding their $10,000 plus bikes I got the deal!
@@AverageDadMTB3 Not stories Kevin. Fact. Giant is the largest bicycle manufacturer in the world. According to my two brothers who owned a cycle shop for over 50 years, Giant e-mtbs are better bang for your buck compared to Specialized, with Specialized providing better after-sales service. I don't have knowledge of other manufacturers as Specialized and Giant are the largest selling e.mtbs in New Zealand by far.
