Summary
The Giant Reign is a highly capable enduro bike, praised for its confidence-inspiring descent performance and efficient climbing, thanks to the Maestro suspension system. It's noted for its stability and agility on challenging terrain, making it a favorite for aggressive riders. However, some reviews mention it's less efficient on climbs compared to peers and can suffer from pedal strikes due to a low bottom bracket.

Flow Mountain BikeIt’s a bloody courageous steed that fears very little, it just needs a pilot with the same attitude to make the most of it, who’s up for it?

"Good things made even better" is the motto for the new Giant Reign Advanced 0. The old Giant Reign was very popular with racers thanks to its potent geo.

The Giant Reign 27.5 1 is something of an enigma in that it’s an eye-wateringly quick race bike, but still a barrel of laughs on a social ride
Fast and fun in equal measure
It’s a little overpriced

When Giant launched the Reign for the 2005 model year, it was billed as a long-travel cross country bike with 5.8" of rear travel and a 70-degree head angle. It also featured Giant’s all-new Maestro suspension platform.

The Giant Reign. Reign of fire, or reign of terror?

A super-confident black run bomber or enduro racer that still climbs well – and costs less than you’d expect
