Giant reckons their Reign 29er could be the ultimate Enduro machine but what do we make of it after subjecting it to eight months of testing?

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
Fox fork and shock offer plenty of useful adjustment and a really smooth, controlled feel
Decent geometry
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 new Reign has a lot going for it—it’s a looker, it climbs and descends beautifully, and above all it’s fun.

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.
Excellent climber
Instils you with confidence on steep descents
Poppy suspension
Quickly reaches its limits on rough terrain
Big gap between sizes
Little attention to detail on some parts of the frame

To commence the launch of the new 29″ Reign series, Giant selected a world class destination of Revelstoke, British Columbia to give us an opportunity to try out the new bike. We can confidently say that the trails in and around Revelstoke provided the perfect testing grounds for the bike. A good pedal, some truck assisted shuttles, and a 8,500 ft descent through rooty, loose, and loamy single track via a Helicopter drop gave us more than an adequate feeling of how the new Reign rides. For a quick look at our Heli drop, check out the video below, and
