Just a note. Ive just been checking out the Norco range of 2022 bikes that are getting really great reviews. Their bikes (including downhill) have the same overall wheelbase of the Trance (a few mm difference) and their eBike specific trail/ enduro bikes have pretty much the same rear end too (1...

Wow what a unique bike! What are those handlebars please??

Thanks man. Will check them out.

Good point. Giant has a good presence here in New Zealand too.

All good. From experience the bike being fully active makes for such a fun ride! I had a google and found this article https://flowmountainbike.com/tests/marin-alpine-trail-7-review-2022/ The Marin looks like it has a pretty good suspension setup.

Thanks man. Appreciate the feedback. Good to hear some real world thoughts vs Youtube videos that see to be pretty theoretical 🤣 For the riding I'm going to be doing I feel it will be perfect. Fireroads, Rooty, buffed and rocky single track and mountain scree. I'm going small based on some...

I'm waiting on my first eBike a Giant Trance X E+1 and can't wait tbh! I've out a substantial deposit so committed to the purchase. Thing is I'm watching a lot of reviews online and they all talk about the really long rear chain stays and how it makes the bike feel a bit lifeless. Spending 9.5...

I would have said the Reign, but that Marin looks like an absolute nutter bike! I'd look at the angles and lengths I guess and what you want from this type of bike. Also, the suspension- as maybe the Marin is not fully active under braking? I used to have a Wolfridge back in the day and that...

I had surgery on my left knee due to meniscus tear. The surgeon decided to repair it once he got inside vs removing. I was 39 when this happened. I'll be honest with you- it has never been the same since and took years to even get to a stage that it felt 'ok'. I had terrible pre and post...

After reading the issues with Specialized eBikes here and at MTBR I'll never buy one. Seriously what's up with these issues? Ridiculous.

T There are bikes?

Interesting video. Sorry to hijack with another bike brand 😄 I'm really struggling with size for my first eBike the 2020 Trance X E+1 . I'm 5' 5" but have a 32" in seam. On the size chart I'm a small- but 32" in seam suggest a medium. The shop naturally suggested a medium but from memory...

Wow beautiful looking and purposeful rides! What brand are those handlebars? Reminds me of the 90's!

That engine is loud! Sounds like a motorbike 🤓

What a great rocky trail!

The waiting is not nice 🤪

That That bike looks like a beast!!!

Good to know. Yes the sizes seem quite a long reach at every size. Thanks for the feedback!

Are you finding the bike as a whole longer? I've ordered mine in a small but others I speak to say medium is better. Compared to my last dually (26" !) this thing is much longer in rear as well as reach it seems. I guess a 50mm stem swap vs 40mm and seat back 1.5cm results in the same reach as...
