Mileage Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 What would be the equivelent series of bikes to the Giant Trance from Specialized, Trek, Merida etc And what trail bikes would you recommend for max 25k
DJR Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Forget all the others and get a Trance X, simple as that. None of the others have anything that can beat it on value for money or even straight out on the trails. All you have to decide on is which Trance to get, and that you've already answered with your budget amount.
Multisporter Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 I've just built up a BMC Trail Fox 01. What an amazing bike. I love the ride. Great geometry and feels very responsive.

Christie Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Other bikes with a good reputation as trail bikes are the Ellsworth Truth and Santa Cruz Blur.
(Deon) Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Other bikes with a good reputation as trail bikes are the Ellsworth Truth and Santa Cruz Blur. For 25k?
Brian Fantana Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Other bikes with a good reputation as trail bikes are the Ellsworth Truth and Santa Cruz Blur. Truth is not a trail bike, it is a 4 inch xc/marathon machine. Ellsworth do make two trail bikes called Glimpse(cheaper) and the Epiphany. Santa Cruz Blur LT is an amazing trail bike. The trail bike(5"-6") market is very competitive and there is a wide variety of choices. At the budget the op has stated I do not believe that the Giant Trance can be beaten in terms of value for money.
