AFTER A COUPLE of years off the radar, the Reign gets a much-needed overhaul for 2015 with bigger 650b wheels, updated geometry and some bold new colours.
The new frame delivers
160mm (6.3in) of travel via Giant's tried-and-tested Maestro linkage system. A
RockShox Pike fork takes care of damping duties up front on all three UK
models, with a custom 46mm offset that's designed to improve control at lower
speeds. The top-spec alloy number here also comes with a smattering of
enduro-ready parts in the shape of a RockShox Monarch Plus DebonAir shock and
Reverb Stealth dropper post, SRAM X1 transmission and Guide brakes. The amount
of drop on the Reverb post varies by frame size to improve the fit, which is a
nice touch.
