Andrew Juskaitis from Giant Bicycles shows us the highlights of the all new Trance X 29er and what they hoped to have accomplished with this flickable and agile 29er.
From the manufacturer:

At its core: proven Maestro Suspension plus a host of frame technologies including the OverDrive 2 steerer tube and PowerCore bottom bracket. Whether you’re climbing or descending, pinning it at speed or crawling through technical terrain, there’s no better way to own the trail.”

I definitely doesn’t “feel” like a 29er. It is extremely agile, light, and plows through single track like a monster truck. It is a blast to ride, was not thinking about rear axle at all.
