Expirience with the Giant Reign SX | V2

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. The handling of this bike remains balanced thanks to a moderate geometry. Especially for light riders under 70 kilos, the weight of this bike is enormous. With 17,4 kg, the ratio of rider to bike weight could be lighter. Trail lovers should nevertheless be convinced by this argument: in the downhill, the coherent geometry ensures you´ll have a wide smile in your face. The guarantee promise of 25 years ensures trust.
