Review: 2015 Giant Trance 2

[Tubehunter]

Imagine this bike in a plus size wheel...

TBH at that price, you can't really accuse Giant of "skimping" of parts. 

 

That said - those wheels and the fork upgrade would have transformed the bike instantly! Congrats, and happy that you're still enjoying it.

Thanks Myles! Yeah, maybe so. But for a sub R28k bike, I still feel its good value for money.

That new fork cost half of what you paid for the whole bike....unless it was a warranty replacement with pay in for the upgrade.

Was lucky enough to find a recently serviced one off the classifieds. Wheels cost more than the fork!!! Hahahah

 

Looking at the specs of the trance 1 2015 though, you can see better fork, rear suspension, wheelset and groupset. Everything ive almost replaced.... Don't recall it being sold in SA and its listed 1400$ more on their USA site... much of muchness hey
