All-New Trance Advanced E+

If you thought electric mountain bikes were already powerful, think again. The new Giant Trance Advanced E+ is raising the bar, combining a brand-new motor system, a high-capacity battery and a lightweight carbon frame to create an e-MTB designed for riders who want to push their limits on the trail.

Whether you're tackling steep climbs, exploring technical singletrack or making the most of a full day in the mountains, the latest Trance Advanced E+ has been engineered to give you more power, more control and more confidence when the terrain gets challenging.

At Outdoor Life, we're excited about what this latest generation of Giant electric mountain bikes brings to the trail. Let's take a closer look at what makes it special.

More Power Than Ever: Introducing the SyncDrive Pro 4 Motor

One of the biggest changes is the all-new Giant SyncDrive Pro 4 motor.

With an impressive 120Nm of torque and up to 850W peak power, this 48V motor delivers serious assistance when you need it most. Whether you're grinding up a steep climb, powering through technical sections or accelerating out of a tight corner, the Trance Advanced E+ is built to keep you moving.

So, what does that mean when you're actually riding?

120Nm of torque:

Powerful assistance for steep climbs and technical trails.

850W peak power:

Strong, sustained output when you're pushing hard.

Rapid response:

Assistance begins from zero pedal cadence, with a claimed response time of just 0.28 seconds.

Lightweight design:

The motor weighs approximately 2.4kg, helping keep overall bike weight under control.

Up to 500% assistance:

Customisable support that responds to your pedaling input.

Rather than simply delivering more power, Giant has focused on making that power usable. The result is an electric mountain bike designed to feel responsive and controlled, even when you're navigating awkward climbs or technical terrain.

An 840Wh Battery for Bigger Days on the Trails

More power is great, but it's only useful if you've got the battery capacity to make the most of it.

The new Trance Advanced E+ features an integrated 840Wh EnergyPak battery, giving you substantial capacity for longer rides, bigger climbs and extended trail sessions.

Your actual range will depend on factors such as rider weight, terrain, elevation, temperature and the level of assistance you choose. However, the large battery gives you plenty of capacity to work with when planning longer adventures.

Want to go even further?

The bike is compatible with Giant's optional EnergyPak Plus 280 range extender. Add this extra 280Wh of capacity and you can increase the total available battery capacity to 1,120Wh.

That makes the Trance Advanced E+ an exciting option for riders who enjoy exploring new routes, linking trails together or spending more time riding without worrying about finding a charging point.

Designed to Keep You in Control

Power alone doesn't make a great electric mountain bike. When the trail gets rough, suspension, geometry and traction are just as important.

That's why Giant has developed the Trance Advanced E+ around its proven Maestro suspension system, optimised to work with the new motor.

The bike features 150mm of rear suspension travel and a 160mm suspension fork. This combination is designed to absorb rough ground, improve control and give you the confidence to ride more demanding trails.

You'll also benefit from Giant's new Traction Control technology. Using information from the bike's sensors, the system can adjust motor assistance when it detects rear-wheel slip, helping you maintain grip on loose or slippery climbs.

For riders tackling the varied conditions we experience here in the UK and Northern Ireland, that extra level of control could make a real difference.

Think muddy woodland trails, loose rocky climbs and technical sections where finding traction is often the difference between riding through and having to put a foot down.

A Mixed-Wheel Setup for the Best of Both Worlds

The new Trance Advanced E+ uses a mixed-wheel, or mullet, configuration:

29-inch front wheel:

Helps roll over roots, rocks and trail obstacles while maintaining stability.

27.5-inch rear wheel:

Offers a more compact rear end and a lively, maneuverable feel through tight corners.

A three-position flip-chip also allows adjustments to the bike's geometry, letting you fine-tune its handling to suit your preferences and the terrain you're riding.

Despite its powerful motor and substantial battery, Giant has worked hard to keep the Trance Advanced E+ as agile as possible.

The Advanced composite frame has been engineered specifically around the new E+ system, with a redesigned chassis and integrated battery. Giant's top-spec Trance Advanced E+ 0 has a claimed complete-bike weight of approximately 21.9kg.

That is impressive for a full-power electric mountain bike with this level of assistance and battery capacity.

The frame has also been designed to cope with the extra forces generated by a powerful e-MTB motor. Heavy-duty wheel systems and a specially developed high-torque chain help provide the durability needed for repeated hard riding.

In short, this is a bike designed to deliver big performance without losing sight of handling, reliability and long-term use.

The new Trance Advanced E+ isn't just about the motor and battery. Giant has also developed the wider E+ system to make the bike more intuitive to use.

Depending on the model, features include:

RideControl GO Lux display:

Provides important riding information, including battery status and key ride data.

Integrated tyre-pressure monitoring:

Helps you keep an eye on tyre pressures for better grip and trail performance.

Traction Control:

Helps manage assistance when the rear wheel starts to lose grip.

Wireless RideControl Ergo 5 remote:

Offers convenient control of riding functions, with additional integrated controls on compatible configurations.

Electronic dropper post:

Available on selected configurations, powered by the bike's main battery.

The integrated system is designed to make the bike's motor, battery, software and compatible components work together, giving you a cleaner cockpit and a more connected riding experience.

Which Giant Trance Advanced E+ Is Right for You?

The new range includes several builds, so there's an option for riders looking for premium carbon components as well as those who want the new motor and battery technology at a more accessible price.

The following are the UK prices listed by Giant at the time of writing.

Giant Trance Advanced E+ 0 – £8,999

The flagship model is designed for riders who want a premium build with high-end components.

Highlights include a Fox 36 Factory fork, a carbon TRX HD wheelset and the top-specification frame and suspension platform. It's an excellent option for riders who want to make the most of the bike's full-power performance.

Giant Trance Advanced E+ 1 – £6,999

The Trance Advanced E+ 1 offers much of the same core technology, including the SyncDrive Pro 4 motor and 840Wh battery, with a carefully selected component package.

It features a Fox 36 Performance fork and alloy TRA HD wheels, making it a strong choice for riders who want serious trail performance without stepping up to the flagship model.

Giant Trance Advanced E+ SE – £5,999

The SE model brings the new motor system, large battery and carbon frame platform into the range at a lower price point.

With a CREST TR Elite E-tuned fork and alloy wheels, it is worth considering if you want the latest Giant E+ technology while keeping your budget in check.

Giant Trance Advanced E+ 2 – £5,499

The Trance Advanced E+ 2 is the entry point to the new range.

It still features the 120Nm SyncDrive Pro 4 motor, 840Wh battery and Maestro suspension platform, paired with a RockShox Psylo Gold RC fork and alloy wheels.

For riders who prioritise motor performance, battery capacity and a capable trail platform over premium component upgrades, it offers an appealing starting point.

Prices and specifications may change, so check the current range before ordering.

Is the New Giant Trance Advanced E+ Right for You?

If you're looking for an electric mountain bike that can handle demanding trails, steep climbs and long days in the saddle, the new Giant Trance Advanced E+ deserves a place on your shortlist.

Its combination of 120Nm of torque, an 840Wh battery, advanced carbon construction and 150mm of rear suspension travel makes it a serious proposition for riders who want a powerful, capable and versatile e-MTB.

It's particularly appealing if you enjoy technical riding and want a motor that responds quickly when you need assistance, rather than simply providing a boost on easier climbs.

And with four models in the range, you can choose the specification that best suits your riding style and budget.
