Our Verdict: Rated 4.7/5
Giant Trance X Advanced E+ Elite 0 from Giant is a trail e-mountain bike with a Advanced Carbon frame, powered by the Giant SyncDrive Pro 2 (85Nm). Flagship Giant e-trail bike. Key strengths are SyncDrive Pro 2, large battery and carbon frame.
Specification summary: Giant EnergyPak 800Wh battery with a quoted range of up to 110 km, Fox 36 Factory 150mm / Fox Float X Factory suspension, 29-inch wheels, SRAM X0 Eagle 12-Speed, SRAM Code RSC 4-Piston brakes, weight 22.6 kg, price £6,721. At £6,721 it is about 20 percent above the typical e-bike price in the database, and at 22.6 kg it is in line with the typical e-bike weight in the database. The battery works out to roughly 35 Wh per kilogram of bike weight. Trail bikes balance climbing efficiency and descending capability, with moderate-slack geometry and travel that suits most terrain.
A full-power motor in the 85Nm class delivers strong assistance on steep, technical climbs at the cost of weight and battery consumption. Carbon frames offer a favourable stiffness-to-weight balance and can be tuned for compliance, though impact damage can be costly to repair. The 29-inch wheels roll over obstacles efficiently and carry momentum on rough ground. The mechanical 12-speed drivetrain offers simple, serviceable shifting with a wide gear range. Four-piston brakes provide stronger, more consistent stopping power for long descents. Range figures are manufacturer estimates; terrain, rider weight, assist mode and temperature can change real-world distance considerably.
Verdict: Giant Trance X Advanced E+ Elite 0 scores strongly in this database with a 4.7 rating. It suits trail riding. Main caveat: pricey.
How We Rate
How we rate
Every rating on Gear Matrix is published alongside the information it is based on, so you can judge the score for yourself rather than take it on trust.
Gear Matrix ratings are editorial assessments built from published manufacturer specifications and comparative specification data. They are not presented as the result of physical product testing. Where an article is based on a first look, a launch announcement or a press release, the article says so.
Weight-to-power on e-MTBs
Where a weight-to-power ratio is shown it is calculated from two manufacturer-declared figures: the bike’s weight in kilograms and the motor’s declared output. Both inputs are required before any ratio is displayed. We never estimate a missing value, and we never infer a figure from a different model in the range.
The full breakdown of rating criteria is being prepared and will be published on this page.
