Expirience with the Giant REIGN SX

Ludwig Döhl The SX version of the Reign´s replaces the legendary Giant Glory in the downhill segment. With double bridge fork and mullet wheels from the factory, the enduro chassis is significantly more downhill potent. You have no idea if you prefer high speed stability or playful handling? Then you can´t go wrong with the REIGN SX. It´s handling is pleasantly balanced. Considering that in the range under 6000 Euro, hardly any other manufacturer makes a better bike for the same specs of wheels. Nice! The guarantee of 25 years proves that Giant puts a lot of trust in its products.
