Giant Trance X Advanced E+ Elite - WHICH MODEL IS PERFECT FOR YOU?

- Welcome back to Sam Bikes! On today's video, we will be discussing the brand-new Giant Trance X Advanced E+ elite models for 2024 and which emtb model is best for you mountain bike riders.
At Sam Bikes, we only talk about electric mountain bikes and we consider the new Giant Trance X Advanced to be one of the most interesting superlight electric mountain bikes released in 2023. It is also one of the only SL electric mountain bikes that can be ridden as an SL ebike by restricting the power of the Syncdrive Pro Motor from 85nm to 50nm or 60nm. This means that you can ride with SL emtbs, such as the Orbea rise or the Specialized Levo SL. Additionally, you can grab the 200 Wh range extender, which only weighs 1 kg and go into the Giant Ride Control app to tune the motor to 85 Newton meters of power and ride with full-powered full-fat ebikes.
The Trance X Advanced E+ is rolling on Mullet wheels - 29 up front and 27.5 in the rear and has 150 mm of travel upfront and 140 mm in the rear. The top two models come with a Fox Live Valve, which is an automatic suspension from Fox. This extremely versatile SL electric mountain bike weighs in at 18.8 kg, which is amazing considering it has the full 85 mm of torque.
If you have any questions about the Giant Trance X Advanced E+ or anything else related to electric mountain bikes, please let me know and I will be happy to help you. Thanks for watching!

Riders what do we think, buy the Top Model Giant Trance X Advanced E+0 Elite or Buy the Trance Elite 3 with some SB upgrades.
I’d love to have any which one of these bikes and I’d love to have those pedals and shoes because I’m using regular gym shoes to ride my bike and it’s really kind of funky feeling and the pedals would look really nice on my bike as it’s really a boring color scheme
@@topchoice1621haha good call don’t forget to enter to give away of the crankbrothers
@@SamsBikeshow do I enter?
watch the video its right at the start@@topchoice1621
But the 3 and upgrade the suspension. Done. The rest is vanity.
Let’s keep the technical comments for those technicians. I just love them. Looks cool and seems comfy af 😍
Also I can keep them on to get some beers after riding. Looks better than my OG vans
I just got my first emtb, a gas gas g enduro. It actually came with pedals but they are horrible my feet bounce off in rough terrain! The crank brother pedals would be a huge upgrade! Thanks for all the great videos Sam!
😂 Hey Sam not sure if this is a valid reason, but I need the chance to try these bad boys... I got a new Levo SL Gen2 after you got me so hyped and this bike deserves some steezy bling added to it 😂
Loving ❤️ all the content keep it up, and don't forget to do an update on your Levo SL gen 2 🎉
Would love the package. Have been watching over and over, the videos you are doing on the Giant Reign bikes. Took the advice on buying the cheaper E+3 2023 model and plan on upgrading a few items. Cheers for all the tips and tricks and the awesome channel.
Right on! Thanks for entering
Awesome vid, Sam. Thanks for the shout-out, and happy holidays!
Happy holidays mate and thanks for all your help this year!
Fun stuff. Wish they sold just the frame, I would love that build project. Syncdrive motor with the new mag casing is wonderful. Not a fan of them going to a 400watt battery. It would be a minimum 500watt for me to be happy. Still dropping 10lbs is impressive. But again.....Good news is stores are selling overstock of old models (over supply in USA right now and under demand). I picked up a last years Giant Advanced E+2 for 3 grand off. I agree carbon handlebar and stem in kinda dumb but I feel like if you just purchase a purely downhill carbon handlebar you would be fine. Stem....not so much. I would do carbon crankarms though because of the rotating weight and how many thousands of times you do it per ride. They I am sure are quite sturdy now for mountain bikes.
Remember, you are on a full carbon frame with carbon swingarm and rear triangle. Anyway, have fun with your build !!! I guess I am late lol.
As a new ruder in my mid 50s any advantage to help on my joutney wouls be great. Keep up the great work.
Crank brothers shoes are hands down the best riding shoes I’ve used. Super comfy & very supportive. There’s only one brand of peddles I use & that’s crank brothers.
Love the videos and just got into the E-game but more importantly the E-game finally got my wife in the MTB game!! She just got a Trek Rail and has no shoes and stock pedals!!
In fact she has been borrowing a helmet and she finally just picked one out.. she has dedicated her life to others on a major level and finally has just started putting herself and her health on an important level (still so she can better help others mind you!) anyways to say she deserves these more than anyone else I would never say….. but she does deserve to be happy and healthy and this would help her journey as well as boost confidence with a fun win under her belt!!
Anyways thanks for all the informative videos and keep them coming!!!
I have last year's Elite 3 and love it. Great value and it comes in at about 20.9 Kg with pedals.
I've never used clipless pedals before. However, I've used Crankbrothers flat pedals and they are amazing. I would feel super confident learning how to ride clipless in pedals with a great reputation and ones I use. Riding clipless would enhance my experience to feel connected to the bike as I've read and heard in many videos. 🙏🏼
That blue is incredible looking! The orange is striking too.
I have bought from Bike Discount in the past. Delivery to the west coast USA was only 6-7 days.
Crankbrothers shoes and pedals look awesome! My current shoes and pedals look like they've been beat with an ugly stick. My enthusiasm overrides my ability so often that my shoes and pedals take a beating. Of course my shoe laces figure out how to make their way into the front chainring on occasion. Usually it's when I need to put my right foot down. It's always a surprise!
Anyway mate the build list you chose on this bike looks great 👍. Good point on the carbon bars and cranks.
Dream build would be the frame color from elite 0, with parts from elite 2 because i can't afford more 😂
That’s what I did I got the base model and so far put better rubber and RS Lyrik and SD Ultimate and what a game changer of the bike and I rode the bike bone stock for about 70 miles and all I can say is how much more confident the bike feels with upgraded runner and suspension
Hello Sam! In my opinion; Cleatless shoes are usually easier to use as they do not require special adjustments or fastenings while riding. This can help make the driving experience easier and more relaxed.
my YT Decoy MX Core 3 2024 arrived yesterday and I really have to change this plastic pedals 🤙
love your content 👌
Thanks for the kind words!
Hi Sam! Rockin the ‘23 Levo after watching your reviews (great bike) It’s a year of firsts for me as I went from an acoustic to electric so it just makes sense to have another first and try clips. Plus I can go matchy matchy with my wife and her crank bros. Thanks man love the content.
The combination of crankbrother shoes and pedals would be the ultimate upgrade for my style and my bike !
Love this kind of video!! The drawing guys are legends. The custom build with Fox, Tacky Chan's, and my loving Shimano brakes is spot on 😁
I’d like the pedals and shoes because I’ve never tried clips, I’m new back to biking after 10 years with my first e-bike. I’ve always had flats so I’d like to try progress my skills.
Would love to win the Crankbrothers shoes to get rid of those dratted laces which are forever stiff and muddy outside the summer and never seem to pull up tight after the first few wears. The great pedals would be a fantastic bonus to keep traction on all trails and the colour is perfect for my riding colourway. Will just have to save up!
After many years without a Bike I am finally back at it again and just got myself a new e-mtb. Would very much appreciate a pair of proper shoes and pedals along with my new bike. Cheers 🤘
I could use a new pair of shoes as I've worn through the bottom of my current pair, and if I don't win will probably start bleeding out the bottoms of my feet. I'd love to try the Crank Bros and something different from SPD. Those pedals look like they would be super efficient and offer tons of support. Cheers Sam 🍻 Love the channel - 50K is coming this year.
I've been so scared to try clip less pedals...so much so I tried magnet pedal and I'm ready to cross over... Plus all my research says that crankbrothers are the best pedals and shoes on the market for beginners like myself...
Would really love to try them...🙋🏾♂️🙋🏾♂️
Chrankbrothers Stamp 7 very nice pedals with RC Powerline good match, sadly worn out so I definitely need those clip-less pedals with those shoes from Crankbrothers 😁
Thanks for great video. I'll definitely build my own e-mountain bike, and because I'm 12 miles daily rider in UK I definitely need this combo . Thanks a lot!!!
Holy crap, I’ve been waiting for a flat pedal shoe that uses a boa dial! Im super busy raising 4 kids so when I do get out I’m pressed for time so being able able to quickly get my shoes on would be a bonus.
Never used clips before but think they might help as I keep parting ways with my bike on the trail 😂
I'm a commuter, I'm always looking for a decent pair of shoes and flats as cleats are positively dangerous in city traffic
I'm trying to get back into mountain biking after breaking my neck riding downhill. I only have the downhill bike. But looking at getting one of these. I definitely need to get some flat pedals and shoes. Because after my spinal cord injury I can't do clipless anymore. I'd love to have them.
I need those pedals because I don't wanna die on the trails because of my foot slips out of the pedal
Nice video btw
Great video! I absolutely like your approach on building up a bike.. and making it your own unique bike that no one else exactly has. As long as frame, motor, battery is same as upper end model.. I will probably follow your advice here, just makes sense to me for what I want. Thanks....
It’s not, base spec is alloy rear triangle
Hi Sam, I've been riding SPD's since the 90's and would love to try another style of clipless pedals. ❤ the content, keep up the good work!
Hi Sam,I need the CB combo only because they are the best pedal’s I’ve ever tried.And I’d like to use the pedals in combo with the CB shoes 🤷🤩
Sam
I have been riding in Crankbrothers Mallet shoes with BOA for the last 3 yrs and the pedals. Having ridden them more than 3,000km some new ones would come in handy for the Old Age Pensioner 😂
I have a new Aliexpress All Mountain light ebike. And I don't have pedals. Will be the best hokydaus gift!
Hey Sam, I really enjoy watching your videos. I'm in the market for an e-bike, just haven't pulled the trigger yet. As for the stamps, pedals and shoes well, I certainly don't deserve anything, but I would really like those boa shoes because that's one thing that consistently fails on my mountain bike shoes or my laces. They tend to rip at the shoelace holes. Anyway. Have a great day!
Hey Sam, greetings from Venezuela! I’ve been using flats since started riding in 2020 and I can’t believe how fast I’m riding now. I would love to keep improving just as personal goal of mine, and believe that combo of Crankbrothers shoes and pedals are going to get me there. Actually I was shopping for some mallets and shoes like last week and maybe this is a sign to hold off and see if luck on my side 🤣
Amazing!😻
Im looking to get my first E bike which will be replacing my 2006 Trance the crank brothers shoes and pedals would be the perfect addition to a new bike as i dont currently have mountain biking specific shoes. Love your channel always look forward to watching you videos my go to for reviews etc
Hi Sam, again great video.
Can't wait to see the Canyon strive on.
To the contest, my son has got recently a knew bike but runs it with his old pedals and he needs new shoes because at the moment he goes in the bikepark with Vans.
Merry Christmas and a biking knew jear
I'd love the crank brothers shoes and pedals as Ive just got my first emtb due to health problems I can't ride an analogue to far so these pedals would look awsome on my specalized turbo tero and I'm ashamed to say my clippless shoes are leatte copies from temu!
Since I am a forever Shimano pedal user, I really must try the CrankBrothers combo. Have to pick my winner.
Crankbrothers makes the best pedal I’ve used, and I’ve used many different brands. I think I deserve to win because I’m getting tired of riding barefoot. My feet could use the best MTB shoe on the market!
❤ great. I have always used plastic platform pedals, now they gave me my first good bicycle, an Orbea Onna 30 and I would love to be able to change the stock pedals and put my first metal platform pedals on it. I hope this is a good reason to convince you that I would love to have some good pedals. Thank you.
Hi Sam, thanks for the giveaway. I always was a spd rider, and wanna change for the Crank Brothers because in my country and for the good things that i eared about and read about they are really better in muddy situations, and because I'm in the market to buy a new set. So thanks again a stay safe out there you legend ride. Andamos en bicicleta hasta la muerte. 🤘
Hi Sam, would love to have a fresh set of crankbrothers on my Nukeproof Megawatt!!
That pedals would be great for my new giant bike.
Hey Sam, awesome show, like you said it’s always better when building your own bike coz your choosing the parts you want on it. I would love to have a pair of crank brothers bike shoes coz normally I just wear sneakers and anyone would love to have a little bling on their bike which crank brothers stamp 7 pedal do quite nicely.
Heyho, I need this combo because Crankbrother makes the best pedals I've ever used!
Nice build indeed. Great to add your own personal touches to this. I doubt it will have the same weight when you are done IMHO. The 2024 models are not available here in the USA as of this writing as far as I can see, Not a big fan of the 2024 orange color. Much prefer the Messier/Panther from 2023.
Yep definitely mine bike will be 1-2kg more but I feel better for my style of riding
❤love the the new colors ! Great Dreambuild!!!
I want this combo because I have giant scars from my knees to my ankles from slipping on mine !!!!!!!!!
I ride a Trance but it’s not E
Good call and good luck
Kia ora Sam and merry Christmas to you too buddy.
I want the Stamp shoes and pedals because my shoes are falling apart. The laces are breaking up ( one’s down to nearly floss thickness). And my pedals have done their fair share of pedal strikes, they used to be black, but now are pretty much just alloy coloured now 😢.
I love your channel and the way you do your reviews honestly and methodically. I am inspired to upgrade to my first e-bike by doing a Sam’s Bikes style upgrade on most likely a baseline Trance elite within a few years. Just need to save up and then get permission from the boss/wife.
Cheers from Tim
Hi Sam! Great video dude! Looking forward for more combos!
GiveMEway those shoes and pedals please, I want to try plataform pedals to learn how to jump like Sam. I broke my elbow doing a jump, but I'm back and I want to try doing the jump again. those pedals and shoes will give me luck 🤞🤟
After riding 30+ years on clipless pedals, those shoes and pedals had the best of chances to finally convert me 😂
Hahaha let’s see
Build your own....for sure
Gen 3 Levo. I would buy another one. 😂
Yes me too
I haven’t ridden clipless since like 2004 on my Kona xc shredder, so would be quite interested how it feels like throwing around the heavy ebike with clipless!
Great Video Sam as always. Long term Candy user here, would love to try the Mallets, do they offer more support when shredding?? never tried Crank Brothers shoes, my 5/10's are falling apart and my winter clipless boots will be a bit warm when the weather picks in the UK so would love to try a pair of these. Top job mate 🤟
I want the crank brothers shoe and pedal combo cuz my wife lost her job and I can’t afford new shoes. My current ones are several years old and BEAT. I love flats and have always been interested in the large stamps since I have a size 13 foot but again, just too expensive for me.
So what really changed for 2024? Just the colors?
Thanks 🙏 for entering rider I hope your wife finds a new job soon!
I would love to win the pedals and shoes because I’m starting to get into racing and i have always dreamed of used clips instead of flats just so I can feel connected and at 1 with my bike.
Elite 3 has alloy rear triangle though, any opinion on what the penalty is there?
There would a little weight penalty but the alloy rear triangle will be more compliant
Great video ❤, i think i need to win this, because after the countless adventures and wear & tear , my trusty vans shoes and Chinese flat pedals, the soles wear thin and the Chinese pedals lose their edge, this pedals will be an invitation for a new chapter of exploration and pedal-powered stories.
Great vid Sam 👌love the Giant content
Would love these pedals and shoes, as had to have surgery on both calves 8 weeks ago and can’t use clipped pedals anymore 😢
My dad uses flat pedals, he could also do with a new pair of shoes!
Hi Sam,
what is the difference between the Giant Trance X Advanced e+ el2 from 2024 and the one from 2023? Of course apart from the year and color 🙂
would love a set of shoes and pedals i do like something a bit different most folks go for 5tens and dmr pedals
I need a new pair of shoes and new pedals would come in handy
Who doesn't want Stump 7 pedals and Shoes with BOA? They are the ultimate combo for flat pedal riders, make you feel like you are riding on air. It's what I heard. But unfortunately back to the real world I can't afford them :(
Hi Sam, thanks for the great video. Just wondering why the design of the rear triangle on the Elite 3 is different to the other 3 models? Is it aluminium instead of carbon?
So, l should deserve to win those Red Hot pedals and if possible a nice Red Hot pair of 5⭐️ Crankbrother shoes, because I choose the color (sage green) of my Levo to match them, I'm just whaiting for my lucky day 😁🤞
Which can you chip without problems.❤❤
I just bought a Giant Trance X E+1 and I need the crankbrothers pack because after spending more than 4000€ ... it comes without pedals!!!! 😥
Good stuff all around! I have and love Crank Brothers Mallet shoes along with Mallet E pedals! Both are worn out and totally broke and can’t get replacements! 🙏 🍀
On the giant website it says there is a difference with the motor on the base model
Hello Sam- Do all this bike weigh about the same? I think the top end model comes in at approx 40lbs if I am correct.
Nice
MERRY CHRISTMAS
I‘d like to win for my new Bike❤ they would fit perfect and i’m already looking for new shoes. So this would be awesome🤘🏻
Fun videos but sponsor mentions get so tiresome
Yes I understand you but tell me how I run a channel with no sponsors?
BOA Shoes would be so grade, I'm so tired of braking laces on my rides
Wowooooooo😅😅😅
Why do you talk in Euros not dollars ?
I live in Europe and 60% of my audience is European
love platform pedals but the metal pegs wore thru the sole of my running shoes so could really use another pair. PLEASE
