Giant Trance X 1

Where it stands

Priced close to what German shops charge for this level of equipment, so it does not clear the margin we require before naming a pick.

The compromises

• Mechanical shifting, at a price where electronic groupsets are common.
• Wheels not identified from the listing, so we scored them level with basic aluminium rather than guess.
• No power meter, which many bikes at this price include.

Your size

What Bike-Mailorder lists, and what it has today

This brand publishes no centimetre equivalence we can verify, so the bike appears only when you pick a letter size.

Where to buy

Other shops list what looks like this bike, but we cannot confirm it is the same build, because the model year or drivetrain is not settled, so we do not compare their prices.
