NICE! I really like the pink/purple. Did you order custom stickers or did she come like that?

Just finished cleaning my Trance after my big ride a couple of days ago.

Here's mine after this season with upgrades. Just added the higher rise bars last night cause the lower wider ones were hurting my back while in the saddle. I have a long weekend of riding coming up so I'm super stoked to ride. Comes in a 30lbs from the stock 32lbs when I got it. Not bad for adding more on the bike and it loosing two pounds.

Hey guys, my 13 year old son has his eye on a small 2011 Trance X3, he is 90 pounds and around 5'3"'. Looking to use it for AM mainly, and a little XC. Being an MX racer, I'm sure he'll want to try some light DH on it too. This would be his first full suspension bike. How do you guys think he will like it, and will it be the right bike for his size and intended use? Looking forward to your feedback, Thanks!

You can't go wrong with the Trance, at 90 pounds, the bike will certainly withstand some light dh, I'm 5'6 and a small is just on the edge of being too small, so yes, it would fit him perfectly, I would say go for it, solid choice for a first bike!

My giant trance 27.5
Here's mine

So sick dude! I wanted to do the same thing but I decided last minute I'd go for the Trance 27.5 3, just because it had some better parts in it. Are you going to upgrade the wheels? I put on the P-TRX set and made loads of a difference plus the fact I'm running them with the 12x142 rear axle.

What differences did you notice? I'm hesitant to swap wheels on my Trance 27.5 1. I just can't see them making a big performance upgrade but I won't know unless I try I guess!
