    Trance E Freehub issues

    Great! I was hoping I was going to get lucky and not have the issue. Good to know everyone is getting it fixed under warranty though, I will get in touch with my LBS tomorrow and see what they want to do. Hopefully they can be proactive about getting it sorted rather than waiting for a complete...

    Trance E Freehub issues

    Question for you guys who have had this issue... On my E+1 I have started to notice that when I'm in the hardest, or second hardest gear and I'm putting a fair amount of power through the drive train, usually when starting from a stationary position, I get a clunk, similar to the feeling you...

    Giant Trance E+1 or the E+2 which one

    I have no issues with the standard control unit, the five power modes offer assistance for various uses, cruising along cycle paths in 1 or 2, and then pop it in 3 for the hills. 4 and 5 are just crazy fun, the acceleration is mad. I don't bother with displaying speed/range via a phone, after a...

    Giant Trance E+1 or the E+2 which one

    I struggled with the standard saddle but others seem to get on with fine. Very subjective things. Can be a fairly cheap part to replace if you don't like it. I love my E+1, the GX chain set changes gear so nicely. Don't know why but during my last couple of rides I have really noticed just...

    Trance vs Fathom for (mostly) commuting

    Do you mean ''Tyres''? If so, yeah the back is wearing down pretty quick. The front is fine but when i compare my back tyre to my wife's, who doesn't do as much road riding as me, then yeah there is a significant difference. I am not sure if i should go to a different compound when I need to...

    Hi there from Australia

    The Trance 0 SX Pro offers the Kashmia coating, but yeah i think you lose out on the electronic shifting. Here is a review to have a read of anyway... First ride review: Giant Trance E+ 0 SX Pro - Giant introduces new eMTB‑generation | E-MOUNTAINBIKE Magazine

    Trance vs Fathom for (mostly) commuting

    I have not ridden the Fathom but my wife has an E+3 and its a very capable bike. I use my E+1 for a 36km (round trip) commute, cycle paths the whole way. I would probably be happy enough to do it on a hard tail but on the weekends I like to do trail riding and having a FS for that is a must for...

    Hi there from Australia

    If you are looking at the Merida then definitely look at the Giant Trance E range, for me it came down to a choice between those two and in the end i picked the Giant... mainly due to the integrated battery look :) I dont regret my decision one bit

    Trance E+ Range - Tubeless from factory?

    Haha yes, they did take a picture of us but I havn't seen it. That's good to know that it would have been done. I might double check with the guy I dealt with

    Trance E+ Range - Tubeless from factory?

    ah ok, I didnt get that option and didnt even think to ask about it. I will deflate a tyre and take a look. I have never had tubeless before so if i do deflate the tyre and pull it away from the rim, am I running the risk of a load of stuff leaking out if it is tubeless already?

    Trance E+ Range - Tubeless from factory?

    Hi Guys, Can anyone confirm if the Trance E+1 and E+3 come with tubeless tyres from the factory? I see they are ''Tubeless Ready'' but not sure if they are tubeless from factory or not. Cheers

    Ah ok, hopefully no more issues. It would be good to hear what giant say about it.

    Trance E+1, 4 days out in Thrunton woods, what a bike flies through everything thrown at it!!!!

    My wife's E+3 has a bit of a sticky battery, when I turn the key the battery doesn't drop down like it does on my E+1.
