I is like. Given how well Trances ride anyway, this looks lovely.

They look spot on. Giant have really got these two models on the money haven't they? Hope they ride as well as the 26 & 29 versions.

If that Trance in that spec was available now, I'd be on the phone to my [s]dealer[/s] LBS.

๐Ÿ™‚ best get selling those post-its.

I reckon I might hang on for 650b trance, any ideas on release dates or specs?

The Trance looks pretty sweet, but I wish they'd make their mind up on the wheel size. In 2012 it was a 26" bike, in 2013 it's a 29er and in 2014 it looks as though it will be 650b. So what will it be in 2015? Kind of makes me want to hang on to my money if anything.

Rumour is the Anthem will be 650 in just the smaller sizes and wsd and the trance will be offered in both 120 and 150mm travel versions.If it is a 2014 product (which if they've shown them to journos seems likely) then it's usually sept/oct time.

๐Ÿ™‚ @ Yossarian! Cost isn't an issue...am on the hunt for a new all rounder, and 650b seems a nice option to try. That Trance looks bang on to me.

If that anthem's available in large my next bike is sorted!
Surprised the trance doesn't have 34's or a Pike on it though, that would make it the shizzle for enduros

Don't suppose anyone knows when these will likely to be going on sale?

Kind of a shame in that Giant were one of the last big holdouts for 26ers, I guess this is the end of all that. Bulldozer crushes all...
