Giant Trance Advanced Pro 29 2 Complete Mountain Bike 2019

Cross Country

With speed and pedaling efficiency in mind, cross country (XC) bikes are the lightest mountain bikes with the least suspension travel (typically 0 - 120mm).

Trail

Trail bikes are the quintessential “mountain bikes.” If you’re heading into the woods expecting to do it all on two wheels – climbing, technical sections, AND fun descents – you’re looking for a trail bike.

Mountain bikes are built for tackling rough terrain with frames made of durable materials like aluminum or carbon fiber, ensuring stability and maneuverability. They feature suspension to absorb impacts from rocks, roots, and drops, providing a smoother ride.

Aluminum is the second lightest material per cubic inch, after carbon, but it is significantly more affordable. It offers versatility, strength, and durability that works well in all trail disciplines.

A lightweight chassis, EVOL air spring, and dual piston damper with 3-position switch create a pedal-friendly shock that soaks up the bumps and delivers pedal power to the ground with utmost efficiency.

Fox DPS Performance Series shocks have fewer adjustments than Performance Elite or Factory Series (no Open mode adjust tuning range), and feature a black anodized finish instead of Genuine Kashima Coat.

Shock Adjustments - Lever Actuated Open, Medium, Firm Modes, Air Spring Pressure, External Rebound
 

The NX Eagle™ trigger shifter means on-demand gear selection throughout the entire wide range Eagle™ cassette. The massive range means you never have to worry about having the right gear for the terrain.

This new NX Eagle™ derailleur features the proven SRAM 1x-specific X-HORIZON™ design. The larger, 14-tooth X-SYNC™ lower pulley easily facilitates 11- to 50- and 10- to 50-tooth cassette capacity, and also adds to NX Eagle's overall smooth-pedaling feel. The Type-3 ROLLER BEARING CLUTCH™ provides quiet, consistent performance and durability.

The Descendant 6K crankset delivers consistent performance every time out. Featuring SRAM's X-SYNC™2 tooth profile chainring, the Descendant crankset is engineered for complete chain control. Each tooth's thickness is precisely toleranced and controlled to work seamlessly with the SRAM chain's inner and outer links. SRAM DUB™ technology features a better-engineered bottom bracket and a new spindle design. Together, these allow for a more uniform approach to bottom bracket fitment, better sealing against contamination and forward and backward compatibility. Now everyone can benefit from a new measure of durability.

FEATURES

• The DESCENDANT 6K crankset is compatible with the SRAM Eagle™ drivetrain systems.
• Featuring SRAM's X-SYNC™2 tooth profile.
• The DESCENDANT crankset is engineered for complete chain control.
• Most affordable aluminum X-SYNC™ direct mount crankset.

Ride anywhere with the wide-range PG-1230, 11- to 50-tooth Eagle cassette. The NX cassette gives riders every bit of the climbing range that the Eagle™ ecosystem affords with a simple upgrade to splined-drive body wheels.

Guide T brings the consistent performance that you have come to expect from SRAM's lightweight four-piston caliper. Match this with MatchMaker™ for the cleanest looking bar set-up, plus the ease of use with Bleeding Edge drip-free bleed port and you have a smart budget minded brake that keeps you in control.

Trail conditions change in the blink of an eye -- transition from steep climbs to gnarly descents and never skip a beat with the Contact Switch seatpost.

With a tread design that deftly balances rolling speed with braking and cornering traction, it’s no wonder why the Minion DHF is one of the most imitated tires in mountain biking.​

• EXO: A cut and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls.
• Tubeless Ready (TR): Tubeless tires allow riders to run lower air pressures for improved traction, lower rolling resistance, and less chance of flatting.

With side knobs borrowed from the legendary Minion DHF, but widened to provide more support, the DHR II corners like no other. The center tread features ramped leading edges to improve acceleration and sipes to create a smooth transition when leaning the bike. Paddle-like knobs on the center tread dig in under hard braking and help keep the bike under control.
