GIANT INTRODUCES TRANCE X ADVANCED E+ ELITE,

ITS MOST ADVANCED AND LIGHTEST FULL-SUSPENSION E-MTB TO DATE

SyncDrive Pro motor and breakthrough battery technology deliver a full-power trail experience at a significantly lighter weight.

Giant, the world’s leading brand of high-quality bicycles and cycling gear, has unveiled the new Trance X Advanced E+ Elite, its lightest full-suspension E-MTB ever. Utilizing an all-new EnergyPak battery system, this bike shaves a full 4kg (9 pounds) off the previous generation, making it the lightest full-power E-MTB in the world.

This lighter overall weight, combined with a full power SyncDrive Pro motor system that delivers 85Nm of pedaling support, means riders can attack the most challenging climbs and technical terrain with greater agility, control and confidence.

Beyond the motor and electronics, the Trance X Advanced E+ Elite features proven Maestro rear suspension, with 140mm of rear travel for smooth control on rugged singletrack terrain. Combined with a 150mm suspension fork and a mixed wheel build—a larger 29-inch front for stability and roll-over capabilities, and a 27.5-inch rear for agility on the trail—it’s an ideal setup that balances playfulness with responsive handling and precision on-trail control.

The full-carbon frameset has a flip chip located on the rear suspension linkage that allows riders to quickly change frame geometry and adjust the riding characteristics of the bike to suit their riding style and terrain.

LIGHTER WEIGHT

Whether you’re climbing steep singletrack, accelerating on fast and flowy trails, or committing to big moves on technical terrain, power-to-weight plays a major role in how an E-MTB performs. This is the primary factor behind the design and development of the Trance X Advanced E+ Elite. The flagship model Trance X Advanced E+ Elite 0 weighs 18.8kg (41 pounds), which is 4kg (9 pounds) lighter than the previous generation.

While most lightweight E-MTBs have a reduced motor output that’s limited by smaller batteries in order to achieve lower overall weights, the Trance X Advanced E+ Elite features a new battery cell technology that was developed specifically for E-bike usage.

The EnergyPak 400, which was co-developed with Panasonic and weighs just 2.3kg, uses higher volume cells that make it possible to have a full-power motor with a battery that’s half the weight of previous generations. The motor shape is also optimized to work with Giant’s proven Maestro rear suspension system, the same set-up ridden to multiple national championships and EWS-E podiums by Josh Carlson of the Giant Factory Off-Road Team.

At the core of this new battery system, the first in the world created specifically for E-bikes, is a new 22700 cell type. It uses a total of 20 cells, the same as most lightweight E-bikes, but these larger cells have a higher discharge capacity. Their unique size and chemistry are designed to assure that they stay cooler, which means less stress on the system and a longer total lifecycle.

The frameset and components of the Trance X Advanced E+ Elite are also engineered to minimize weight without compromising stiffness, strength and off-road durability. From the full composite frameset, which is made with Advanced-grade composite material, to the innovative Contact SLR Trail integrated one-piece handlebar/stem unit, every component on the Trance X Advanced E+ Elite is optimized for lightweight performance.

ADVANCED COCKPIT CONTROL

Select models of the Trance X Advanced E+ Elite series come with the all-new Contact SLR Trail integrated handlebar/stem unit, which offers adjustability, compliance, light weight and a clean, simple profile. Weighing just 255 grams, it has all the advantages of a one-piece bar and stem but with the adjustability of a conventional setup. Riders can set it to their desired stem length (40mm, 45mm or 50mm) and rotate the bar to achieve the angle they want.

A proprietary carbon fiber layup and slimmer profile near the center of the handlebar adds compliance. This helps absorb shocks and vibrations, reducing arm pump and improving hand comfort on rugged terrain. Cables are routed through the headset for a clean look, and an additional frame port provides the option to add accessories such as lights.

There are two control centers on the Trance X Advanced E+ Elite. The first is the RideControl Go button, which is cleanly integrated into the frame’s top tube and allows riders to quickly and easily turn power on and off and switch between power modes. Colored LED lights indicate current battery level and support mode.

The second control unit, the new RideControl Ergo 3, is integrated with the handlebar grips. The grips that come on the Trance X Advanced E+ Elite are size-specific and tapered for ergonomic comfort. (The control units can also be used with any replacement grip.) Each remote has three buttons that can be set up for personal preference. And the remote can be mounted on either side of the handlebar, with the option to add a second Ergo 3 and have buttons on each side of the bar to control features such as walk-assist mode or lights.

In addition to these on-board control units, adjustments can also be made using the RideControl App—which gives riders the ability to customize the motor performance for their individual needs.

MORE POWER

The new SyncDrive Pro is the most powerful motor in the Giant E-bike lineup. With a hill-crushing 85Nm of torque and a 400 percent support ratio, it delivers a dynamic ride experience on all types of terrain. Whether you’re spinning up long, sustained climbs or applying quick

bursts of power at low speeds on technical terrain, you get instant engagement that feels smooth and natural.

The motor is optimized for the Trance X Advanced E+ Elite and weighs only 2.7kg. It has an automatic adaptive support mode called Smart Assist technology that uses six sensors to determine the precise amount of power needed while riding variable terrain. Smart Assist also maximizes battery efficiency, and because it delivers a precise and efficient level of support, it helps the rider conserve energy.

The Trance X Advanced E+ Elite also offers advanced motor tuning options through the RideControl app. You can now choose the maximum torque level for each of the five support modes. This gives riders the ability to customize the motor performance for their individual needs. For example, you can choose less torque for riding in the lower support modes and maximum torque in the higher support modes. This allows you to extend your range while maintaining maximum power when you need it most.
