120 Nm, 840 Wh, up to 500% assistance: High-end trail bike with adjustable frame geometry

Giant Trance X Advanced E+ 2027

Giant is giving its Trance X Advanced E+ a major overhaul for 2027: more travel, a new motor with instant response, and a Flip Chip on the Maestro rear suspension that now allows the carbon frame geometry to be adjusted across three settings.

E-Mobility

The popular predecessor to the new Giant Trance Advanced E+ dates back to 2023 and is now ready for some significant upgrades. The manufacturer has left hardly any area untouched, putting virtually everything under scrutiny.

First, the full-suspension electric mountain bike gets more travel at both ends. Up front, travel increases from 150 to 160 millimeters, while the rear grows from 140 to 160 or 150 mm. This is intended to help riders handle rougher obstacles and bigger jumps on the trail even better with their new full-suspension E-MTB.

Giant has made only minimal changes to the carbon frame. These mainly concern the motor fitment, which is now said to be even better integrated with the suspension system. Yamaha has supplied a specially designed motor housing for this purpose. The wheel sizes remain unchanged, with a 29-inch front wheel and a 27.5-inch rear wheel. The bike weighs 21.9 kg.

The Flip Chip on the upper rocker link of the Maestro rear suspension, which previously allowed the frame geometry to be changed between two settings (High and Low), now gets a third setting. The Mid position aims to strike an equal balance between agility and control. Low is recommended for greater confidence on steep descents, while the High setting puts the rider in a more upright position on the e-bike.

Power comes from the new SyncDrive Pro 4 mid-drive motor, which replaces the SyncDrive Pro 2 in the previous model. It now runs at 48 instead of 36 V, produces nearly 1,000 W of peak power, and supports pedaling cadences above 100 rpm. Rather than competing with other manufacturers for absolute peak figures, Giant is focusing on things such as responsiveness: after just 0.28 seconds of pedal input, the motor instantly delivers its maximum torque of 120 Nm. The sensor system has also been improved for this purpose. At just 2.4 kg, it is also lighter than the Avinox M2 or M2S and the Bosch Performance Line CX.

The Giant Trance Advanced E+ is available in frame sizes S, M, L, and XL and in a variety of colors, with prices starting at around €6,000.

A C64 marked my entry into the world of PCs. I spent my student internship in the repair department of a computer shop and at the end of the day I was allowed to assemble my own 486 PC from “workshop remnants”. As a result of this, I later studied computer science at the Humboldt University in Berlin, with psychology also being added to my studies. After my first job as a research assistant at the university, I went to London for a year and worked for Sega in computer game translation quality assurance. This included working on games such as Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed and Company of Heroes. I have been writing for Notebookcheck since 2017.
