The Giant Trance 29 3 is a sporty short travel trail bike and a solid all-around performer. This bike's liveliness and playful attitude make it one of the most fun bikes to ride in this review, and its downhill capabilities far exceed its short-travel pay grade. It feels like it has more than 115mm of rear-wheel travel thanks to Giant's excellent Maestro suspension platform that pairs very well with the 130mm Marzocchi Z2 fork. The Z2 is a departure from the typical budget fork specs, and after having it serviced it outperformed the forks found on most other bikes in this price range. The Trance 29 has a moderate modern geometry that gives it excellent versatility, and it feels highly maneuverable and comfortable at a range of speeds and terrain. It's also one of the most energetic and efficient climbing bikes of the bunch.
There was little not to like about the Trance 29 3. Testers did find, however, that it could be overwhelmed in aggressive terrain due mostly to the fact that it has less travel. You can ride just about anything on this bike, it just requires a little finesse and good line choices when the trails get rough and rowdy. Otherwise, testers were quite impressed with the playful, versatile, and affordable performance of this short travel ride.

 That said, the shifting did work well in my test time and it's great to have that large range for winching up steep climbs. The bottom bracket used is also press fit. So I didn't encounter any creaking in my test time, which was about a month in the mud in winter, but it's something to be aware of. If you aren't a press fit fan, I feel that the bike is under braked, using that combination of Shimano MT 400 caliper and an MT 401 lever

 So I didn't encounter any creaking in my test time, which was about a month in the mud in winter, but it's something to be aware of. If you aren't a press fit fan, I feel that the bike is under braked, using that combination of Shimano MT 400 caliper and an MT 401 lever. The brakes look budget as well, and the performances as such. They aren't very powerful tool and the pads also move in the calipers under light braking causing juddering

3 at the rear, both the start to us from the off, which is great to see, but the front tire doesn't get the tackier 3c compound. Lastly, the frame is entirely internally routed and there's pleasingly precious little rattle, also, as we've come to expect from giant bikes. The whole lot comes in at a decent weight too, so this bike without pedals, weighs in at 13.8 kilograms

 There are two other more expensive, aluminium bikes, and then there are some much more expensive carbon ones. All with the same geometry. As I said, our test bike gets an alloy frame and that's fitted with amazake bombers, ed2 fork and a true new mounted Fox float DPS performance shock under ownership by fox. The fourth gets an air cartridge from a fox 84 rhythm fork, and then it gets Mars

Review - Giant Trance 29 3

So, currently have a Giant Trance 29 3, which has 130mm in the front, 115mm in the rear, both of which I'm bottoming out on my local Enduro trails.

Budget I'm aiming for is under $5k, with the biggest stipulation being there are very few bike shops near me. Local carries Trek and Revel, most other shops are 2 hours+ away, so if ordering online is an option, I'd like that. I drove about 2.5 hours to pick up the bike I have now, so I'm open to that option for the right bike

Looking for a solid, rideable, 29er full suspension trail bike that also has a modern frame/geometry that I can get away with upgrading as things break or by feel as time goes on. Looking to get a new bike so I can ride it for a good handful of years.

Commencal Meta TR 29 - Love the look and frame but the origin is lacking in specs off the bat.

 It feels in everyway like a trail bike. The brakes are good too. Lots of power and very grabby. The bike is amazing; it is fun to get in the air and throw it around

 Lots of power and very grabby. The bike is amazing; it is fun to get in the air and throw it around. I would recommend it to someone looking for a trail bike or something to smash through anything.

Trance X 29er 3

 You can describe what it is so tubeless prepared essentially means they already give you the tape, the valves and, and they give you the stands. It'S just not installed. So all you have to do. Take the valve core out squirt some stands inside wheel, pump it up and you're ready to ride

 This is full shimano dior, so you do have the shimano dior rear derailleur. You have the shimano dior cassette and then you also have the shimano dior shifter, so it is full shimano dior. You take a hit with that crank, though, and, like i have said before, if i'm going to take a hit somewhere, i would much rather it be the crank, because the number one thing you're gon na notice with that crank, is how heavy it is. But it's not gon na work, any less good

3, the rear shock. I almost forgot about it. Sorry guys it is the fox float dps performance. This is on par with that front fork

 Sorry guys it is the fox float dps performance. This is on par with that front fork. It'S a good pairing, it's also custom tuned, just for giant. Basically, what this means is that rear shock or even the front shock they tune it for a trance, 29 or three

Consumer Reports

Redesigned for the 2020 model year, the Ripmo V2 impressed our testers and is the best all-around trail bike we've ever tested. The Ripmo's geometry was updated to make it slacker and longer, and the suspension kinematics were adjusted to make it more progressive at the end of the stroke. This long-legged 29er was already a confident and capable descender, but now it feels even more composed in gnarly terrain and stable at speed with improved big hit performance. Short chainstays keep the rear end sporty, and it's just as lively and energetic with responsive and precise handling. The V2 maintains its incredible climbing abilities with the efficient DW-Link suspension platform, a steep seat tube angle, and very direct power transfer. Superlatives like "quiver killer" come to mind with the Ripmo, as this is one bike that can do it and do it all well.
The Ripmo V2 is an excellent aggressive trail bike with an amazing combination of uphill and downhill performance. This bike makes a lot of sense for the rider who wants a bike that climbs well without sacrificing any performance on the way back down. This bike is supremely versatile and we'd recommend it to just about anyone.

Redesigned for the 2020 model year, the Ibis Ripmo V2 is even more impressive than the original. The head tube angle has been slackened to 64.9-degrees, the wheelbase lengthened, and the suspension curve tweaked for more progression at the end of the stroke. While those changes may sound minor, the new Ripmo is notably more confident and capable in aggressive terrain and at speed. Despite the geometry changes, this bike maintains its mythical climbing abilities, excellent low-speed handling, and maneuverability in tight, technical terrain. The DW-Link suspension provides a calm and stable pedal platform, excellent small bump compliance, great mid-stroke support, and the increased progressiveness is noticeable on bigger hits. We think that Ibis really hit the nail on the head with the V2 as there was seemingly nowhere this bike didn't perform well for our testers. Whether scrambling up a steep climb or charging down a descent, this bike was comfortable, composed, and intuitive. Our testers aren't always on the same page, but it was easy for them to agree that the Ripmo V2 is one of the best bikes they've ever ridden.
