2.Rear shock

The Trance series is all purpose dual suspension cross country bike. The Trance bike is capable of

climbing and descent the most technical of trails. Trance 1 offer three ProPedal damping setting to

reduces pedal induced suspension bob. You can find s setting that suits your riding style. Please

follow the guidelines below in setting up and maintaining your Giant Trance bike.

Shock spec:

eye to eye : 165.1mm(6.5”)

shock travel: 38.1mm(1.5”)

hard ware: 22.2x6mm/40x6mm

Setup for Trance 1 ( See Drawing #1 )：

1. Adjusting Air Pressure

The air pressure needed is determined by the rider’s weight and riding conditions. Increasing air

pressure will make the shock stiffer. Decreasing the air pressure will make the shock softer. The

shock should be set to sag 9mm or 1/4 of its stroke while the rider is seated on the bike in riding

gear. See table 1 for recommend air pressure:

2. Rebound Adjustment

Rebound damping controls the rate at which the shock returns after it has been com-pressed. The

red adjuster dial can be turned clockwise for slower rebound and counter-clockwise for faster

rebound. The proper rebound setting is a personal preference and varies depending on rider weight,

riding style and riding conditions.

3. ProPedal RP3 Damping Adjustment

ProPedal damping reduces pedal induced suspension bob. The three settings of the lever are full

ProPedal, light ProPedal and Plush. Use the different settings to tune the shock to different riding

conditions and situations. For example, use the full ProPedal position for riding to the top of the

mountain and then switch to the Plush position for the descent. Switch between positions and select

the one that reduces suspension movement most effectively while providing the desired amount of

bump absorption.
