Runbikeswim Posted July 14, 2015 Share When will the 2016 Giant Trance bikes be available, or atleats the specs?I’m halfway through may save towards a PYGA, but I have recently seen some awesome bikes and started to have doubt. 1st 2016 Trance…. The 2014 and 2015 Trance is an amazing beautiful powerful machine! So what will the 2016 have2nd A bit interested in the cube bikes I saw at trailhead, but scared of the short warrantee3rd I saw a bike on FB last night called a Transition' Scout, requested the specs but man it’s a beaut ! So if you had to choose a slacker bike with a 140 mm travel, 650b in true Trance / Pyga style with a 40K budget what would it be ? ( and yes I can get both for that price) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest notmyname Posted July 14, 2015 Share "2nd A bit interested in the cube bikes I saw at trailhead, but scared of the short warrantee" Do you ride hard enough to break a frame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALLMTB Posted July 14, 2015 Share If you can stretch the budget a bit, look at the Banshee Spitfire. Also, the Scout is 125mm bike, but its one very very capable bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skott5 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Have a look at these, and you can get one right now - G2G has stock - Zesty 427 http://mtbs.cz/media/clanky/47916/titulka/1_LapierreZesty427_gal_perv.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Stubbs Posted July 14, 2015 Share RoboJedi....Have a look at the Lapierre bud. Great trail bikes, and keenly priced! A decently specked Pyga is going to cost you min 55k anyway, so that Spitfire isn't overpericed per say. Trance is a cool bike. Few upgrades turn it into a great trail bike, but upgrades cost mega bucks. The mandatory Pike these days is gonna cost you 12k on its own :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicoBoshoff Posted July 14, 2015 Share ... mandatory Pike these days is gonna cost you 12k on its own :-)Or just be a bit patient, wait for the RS Yari and XT 11 Speed to become available and you can still build a great Pyga for sub R50k. There are some big launches coming soon, so patience is the name of the game if you're going to spend money soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming you talk the guy down a tad you will have over 20k to spend on wheels, groupset and cockpit setup... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( and yes I can get both for that price) Changes to teh 2016 Trance include now standard Giant Dropper post (at last) and I believe an improved Fox fork. No changes to frame, wheels etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to know what this Pike can do that the Fox can't. (not talking quality issues here, just performance) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTBeer Posted July 15, 2015 Share don't forget srams gx range. 11 speed groups for the common people11 speed is too much of hard work for Cape Town climbs. Contermans mast, Eselfontein's Dead Man Walking, Welvanpas Black on 11 speed - no thanks. 11 speed is for racing snake dirt-roadies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popcorn_skollie Posted July 15, 2015 Share The 2014 and 2015 Trance is an amazing beautiful powerful machine! So what will the 2016 have Don't expect anything to tweet your mom over. I won't be surprised with minor geo tweaks for the future but she's as long, low and slack as the rest of em already. Giant will stick with maestro so nothing to fuss over there either. Maybe expect changes worth noting in components and paintwork. But that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
