I really dig the 27.5's.
I came from a 29er hard tail so i was used to a lot of roll and real easy climbs.
I wanted something that went down a lot better yet still was able to climb, and I think I have found that in this bike.
I haven't spent much time on a duel 26 so I can't really comment.
FWIW, I'm actually also thinking about saving and getting the 2015 Reign advance start of next year, looks like a super fun bike.

yeah, I think I am going to sell my Trance X and get the Reign 2, 2800$, and it has pike, seems pretty cool

Sounds like a good idea.
I just think I want to make the next big step after this bike and go carbon with full 1x11 drive train.

See how the new shimano 1x11 goes once it starts dropping before I make the big decision.

What's the maximum tyre width in the rear for a Giant trance X from 2013?

Here is my Reign, and below is my Trance for comparison. I love how the reign feels to ride. Hell of a lot better and stable feeling on the downs. Not as good of a climber, but can hold it's own. Next rig for #endubro will be a hard decision. Thinking of a 27.5 Reign, 27.5 Trance and a 27.5 Enduro.

Rode the Trance in town a little today

I'm really digging the "it costs extra to watch" sticker. I need that for my bench as well lol
As for the Trance I think it's sick! How did you get the logo's in purple?
