Giant Trance X 1 2023

Where it stands

Priced below the market rate for its equipment, but another bike in its price range is priced further below it in the sizes where both are in stock. That is the only reason it is not the pick.

The compromises

• Wheels not identified from the listing, so we scored them level with basic aluminium rather than guess.
• 2023 model year.

Your size

What BikeExchange 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. This shop prices each size separately.

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.

Price so far

• BikeExchange states an RRP of €3,999 (39% off). That is the shop's claim; we rank on today's price, never on the discount.
