Expirience with the Giant REIGN ADVANCED 2

Ludwig Döhl 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. The flat 63,5 degree head tube angle of the Giant oozes self-assurance, especially in challenging terrain. When sitting in the saddle, the posture is neither overly sporty, nor uber-comfortable. This should make the Giant suite the taste of most bikers. The guarantee promise of 25 years ensures trust.
