Throughout
the internet there don’t seem to be too many bike reviews that are based off of
a bike that has actually been put through its paces but this blog is here to
change that. The bike being reviewed by me, the personal owner of a 2011 Giant
Trance x2 has become one of the most cost effective mountain bikes that you can
buy in my point of view.
As for me I bought this bike new but a year after it first made its appearance on the market. The original retail for this bike was 2,750 in the year 2011 but when I bought this bike I stole it for right at 2000 dollars which for many avid mountain bikers is a very good price for the amount of bike that you are getting when purchasing this bike. Along with this bargain for a price it brings to the table a light aluminum frame decorated with some of the higher end components. My residency being in the mostly flat and rolling hills of eastern Iowa I don’t need excess suspension and ruggedness in my mountain bike, but this single track bike allows for many types of riding whether your shredding some knurly single track in the mountains or cruising through the most difficult trails in Iowa. This bike can take on about anything and is equipped with a very strong frame and full suspension that allows for you to glide across rugged terrain including rocks and logs. Along with this highly technologically advanced fox shocks system, this bike features some very responsive avid elixir hydraulic braking system which allows for you to stop on a dime. This single track ready bike also presents some of the most rugged single track 26 inch tires that can be found which allow you to shred berms and keep your line without any slipping around the loose corners that can be encountered.
Along with this phenomenal performance found on the trail this bikes shows style in class in the frame, with the curved bottom tube and black frame with just a taste of some electrical blue and white signatures across the entire bike. So after owning this bike for over 2 years I am proud to say that I still own this bike and I would defiantly recommend this bike to any single track mountain biker that is looking for a bike that is a bang for your buck.
