At last! Fans have long anticipated the Giant Reign 29! So it's all the more exciting to see how the bike performs and whether the new bigger-wheeled Reign can live up to its legendary status.

  • Quickly reaches its limits on rough terrain

  • Big gap between sizes

  • Little attention to detail on some parts of the frame
