The new Reign offers a very lively, dynamic ride but get it into the really rough stuff and it feels more like a long-travel trail bike than a mini downhill rig

Highs
  • Fox fork and shock offer plenty of useful adjustment and a really smooth, controlled feel

  • Decent geometry

Lows
  • Dropper post needs to be longer on the medium

  • Very direct feel with quite a bit of feedback so not the comfiest bike on rough trails

The Reign grows its wheels, loses travel and gains fun. It's a fast ride both up and down.
