Discussing the future of the project, sustainable ecotourism and of course, mountain bike tours!

As riding season wraps up in the northern hemisphere we prepping for a big season of big mountain bike tours here in Guatemala. In collaboration with Boulder Cycle Sport in Colorado we are happy to offer the nicest bike rentals in Guatemala with a lineup of 2019 full suspension Trance bikes by Giant. All of our full suspension rental bikes feature Maxxis Tires - set up tubelessDropper postsShimano 1x11 drivetrainsExtended range 50t cassettesOval ChainringsTop tube bags by Choike - handmade by our friends in Santiago Chile 2019 Giant Trance 29er Ready to get rowdy - The perfect "XC" Bike for Guatemala I have been personally riding the new Giant Trance 29er in Peru for the past 6 months and can vouch for the bikes versatility on the ups as well as the downs. An interesting "trail" bike - which has surprisingly progressive geometry with a long reach, slack headtube and modern 44mm fork offset. The Giant Trance is more than at home on steep descents without sacrificing excellent climbing ability. [justified_image_grid rml_id=512] Although it shares the same name, the Trance 29er really is a completely different bike than the original Trance - with less travel, and a slacker head tube angle (66.5°). The Trance 29er has 115mm of rear wheel travel (paired to a 130mm suspension fork). And the Trance 27.5 uses 140mm of rear wheel travel (paired to 150mm of suspension). 2019 Giant Trance 2 27.5" Trail / Enduro Machine The 27.5 trance is a great all around bike well spec'd, with an emphasis on durability. The 2019 Giant Trance 2 has been updated with a carbon rocker - and fox suspension with 150mm of travel in front and 140mm in the rear. Check out the sexy new MTB Guatemala stickers in gold!
