Ride impressions...
I have been riding the 2008 TranceX with my own custom build and Ive put it thru some HARD paces. It was an amazing bike and did everything I wanted it to do. Now the 2011 has a few mods to it, a bit lighter and some geo tweaks. First thing I noticed out on the trail was that it had really nice feel to the ride, felt comfortable right away which is huge! Bike cornered amazing, better then I thought it would right off the bat, the new geo really helped. This bike has a really nice pop to it when jumping, feels very balanced and supper comfortable in the air. The slacker HA makes it descend that much better/nicer then the older model. Climbing was a bit awkward at first, felt like I was to far over the rear tire? and that the front end was real light. Did some seat adjustments and took care of that. As for the stock Giant wheels that come on the bike... They might be "ok" for a beginner rider but for an advanced rider these things had to go. 3 pinch flats in 1 ride which is unheard of, either the rim is to hard, or the shape of the inside rim is to narrow, what ever the case they cause a lot of flats. The rear hub has pretty poor engagement and the rim depth is really deep so you need 48mm valve stem tubes in your pack. OVERALL this bike is amazing and cant wait to get it fully dialed and set up for my liking.
Feel free to comment or ask any questions you may have!
