Expirience with the Giant REIGN 1

Giant REIGN 1 Review The Reign has always been an enduro classic and remains so in its latest edition. Especially the option of a mullet wheel setup and the storage compartment in the down tube show, however, that this classic can go with the times. When it gets rough, especially the proven Maestro rear triangle with its good function should provide peace in the rear. If you ride super fast on tricky singletrails, you will love the calm handling of the Giant REIGN 1. Anyone who has no special preferences for the seating position can´t go wrong with the Giant Fully. Because the saddle takes the balanced approach. Despite this criticism, the coherent overall concept makes the Giant to on extremely technical trails a buying recommendation in the price range 4499 Euro range. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 25 years warranty Giant sets the bar high!
