    Fox Float X Factory EVOL - sag / pressure

    280 sounds about right. I have the specialized genie version of the same shock. I am 95kg fully kitted and run at 270psi at 30%. Specialized has a shock pressure calculator for the genie shock. Basically the same shock with a larger air chamber. Just Google specialized suspension calculator...

    What would you do...

    Don't know if Aventon bikes are available in your location, but this is a fairly well spec'ed bike for $3,999 (USD) for a bike that will only be ridden occasionally by friends and family. https://www.aventon.com/products/current-adv-ebike?variant=44981168701635

    Any recommendations for sturdy but lightweight long trousers (trails, forest riding etc.)?

    Since you are looking for pants to help with ticks, you should try Permethrin. You spray it on you cloths, shoes, knee pads, etc.... It dries and last about 6 weeks and through several washes. It kills ticks (and other bugs). Sawyer Products Premium Permethrin Insect Repellent for Clothing...

    Debating on new bike Levo 4 comp vs Amflow

    I just switched to the Levo 4 Turbo Comp (Size S4) about 6 weeks ago (Before they went on sale :-( ).. I think the same bike you are looking at. I came from a Giant Trance X Advanced E+1 (Carbon frame). I am 5'11", 205lbs. I started at about 240lbs on the Trance (:) ). The Trance and the...

    News from Giant?

    My 2024 Trance Advance has an 800w battery so that is nothing new. The real question is what motor will it have?

    News from Giant?

    In the USA there won't be any new Giant bikes for a while. Giant as of Sep 2025 is barred from importing into the USA due to labor practices that exploit their employees. I have read they are making changes to their employment practices and petitioning CBP. I don't know the latest status. I...

    Help choosing my girlfriend's first emtb

    Check out the Giant Liv bikes. They are made specifically for women and have geometries for woman. They have models that are the "equivalent" of the Giant Stance and Trance EMTB's but are built for women in terms of geometries. They have similar motors, batteries, shifters, brakes, etc...

    Battery capacity

    Are you looking at the LEDs on the bike or reading the percentages in the App? The lights on the bike are in 20% increments so one battery might be at 21% and the other could be at 39% and the same led would be on. There isn't that much of difference between 375w and 500w. What does the app...

    Battery capacity

    What difference were you expecting? Changing the battery wattage will only extend how far you can ride, not how the bike performs, as it is just a bigger battery with more juice. I don't know what bike/year you bike is, but most Giant EBikes have the ability to adjust the torque, percent power...

    Giant Reign 2 E+ 2022 - nothing but problems

    I have had a Stance EMTB and now a Trance EMTB and both have been nearly flawless. The few minor issues I had were fixed within days by my LBS (A Giant authorized dealer) all under warranty. I would look to another LBS that specializes in Giant bikes and see what they can do. Sounds like your...

    Pivot must have a lot of stock

    Giant has done something interesting on their webpage. They have moved all the current/old models to a "clearance" page and only have the new models on the main "bike" page. No discounts on the "bike" page, but all the models on the clearance page are discounted. Rough scan of the pages seems...

    If you search the forum (or google which brings you back to the forum) for "2022 giant emtb wiring diagram" you will find the answer. See this thread: Giant Trance X E+ 1 Light Wiring. In fact there is a very similar picture in it that you posted. Look towards the bottom of the thread. It is...

    New bee

    had a Giant Stance EMTB and loved it. Last year upgraded to a Trance EMTB and like it even more. Only upgrade I have done is put on SRAM AXS Transmission. I had AXS on my Stance and it works great. The transmission is even better. I am a heavier rider (225lbs) and want to upgrade the brakes but...

    Do you own more than one EMTB?

    Giant Stance EMTB for 4 years with SRAM AXS. No problems with motor or bike. Loved it, but last summer there was such a great deal on a Giant Trance EMTB Carbon frame with 800w battery that I couldn't resist. Put SRAM transmission on it and love the bike. I keep the Stance for when kids come...

    Front chain ring source?

    Since your replacing your chainring you should consider going to a 34T chainring. I have two Giant EMTB's and for some reason Giant puts 36T chainrings on them when almost all other manufactures put 34T chainrings. Any 104BCD chainring will fit the bike.
