Does anyone know if the latest trance frame is the same as the SX and advanced ie it can take up to 160 forks?
Does anyone also know the e2e shock length?
Cheers
Yes, Giant will warranty up to 160mm forks.
The shock is 200x51 for 140mm out back, some people have put 200x57 shocks on and got 150mm+ of rear travel instead but it's a tight fit and Giant won't warranty that!
They are the same frame.
The SX has 160mm forks and a 66 degree HA, the normal Trance is 67 degrees with a 140mm fork.
The advanced is carbon but the same numbers.
Thanks deviant. You can get the frame on the cycle to work scheme for good money so may invest.
Cheers
