I've had a Trance Advanced carbon for years. I Demo'd the '18 Trance 2 Aluminum last winter and the word that just kept popping into my head was "solid, solid, solid".. It was really stable! (More so than my older model) and, like you said, it's a very neutral bike. Not the slackest, not the longest, and definitely not the shortest chainstays, but you just ALWAYS feel like you're in the right position on the bike. For the money, they're hard to beat.
@@jctrails I do understand the only opinion that matters the most is my own but in our place here in Regina Saskatchewan demoing bike is not that common this is why I also rely with youtubers like you and others for bike reviews. We only have 2 months of solid summer here maybe this is why bike demos are not a hit. Nice review though! Keep it up! 😀
Just picked this bike up today my first brand new bike and I was thoroughly impressed. I'm glad I'm not the only one who enjoys it. Awesome video. Culvert!! Is my favorite trail
In tour honest opinion what do you think about the fork long term, how much travel is it does it for 27.5 2.6 tires. I ask bc someone want to sell me his fork. Let me know if is possible thank you
nice vids man, I recently purchased the giant stance 2, it's almose the same exept the rear shock is a sr suntour you shut make a review on it😉 ( just subscribe(sorry for my english))
Its nice to see RUclipsrs jump on bikes that the rest of us can afford, not just $5k rides. Thanks!
No problem. It’s a great bike.

The pricing on these Giant aluminum bikes is spot on, your getting a really good bike for the money.
I asked MTB Yumyum as well. And he said he loved the 2018 giant trance 2 =)
Alvin Enobio the only opinion that matters is yours. Get out and demo!!

FoxyHoleshot96s congrats on the new bike, you picked a great one!
That looked like a lot of fun...thanks for the video !
It was super fun, especially because we shuttled!
Great videography, editing, and commentary. You sir, are a natural, and better than any of the bike publication reviewers.
Thanks man!
That was a fun day, despite the hangover. That’s actually the last time I’ve ridden.
The shuttle up was clutch, always good riding with you Rob!
Great Vid 🚴♂️Sweet Bike & trailtime!
Grey M thanks!
Looks like a pretty cool local trail.
What up BV it's super fun!
Love your vids! Get yourself on the new Trance 29 and see what you think.
I can't wait to try
Have you ridden a Giant Reign 2?
Nope, but I will one day!

What camara/ gimbal do you use?
GoPro Hero 4 black camera with the evo ss gimbal
How would you rate the performance of the suntour fork?
Marcel I was pleasantly surprised on how well it performed. Felt plush when hitting the rough stuff.
great vid..wow it's looks soooo dry..no wonder the state is a blaze...
It's super dusty!

I’m guessing you mean over fork the bike. I have a friend who put a fox 36 160mm fork on his and he loves it.

Hey Patrick I did a review on the 2017 Trance 2, check it out !

I have this exact bike
Keegan Hugo sweet rides!
That is Trance 4 not 3
Turned off straight after the burp 🤢
That’s a trance 4
James Leno I thought it said 3 on the manufacturer sticker on the frame.
It’s a trance 3 . Certain countries call them trance 4 for some reason
