Summary
The Giant Reign is a robust enduro bike designed for challenging terrain, offering plush suspension and stable handling at high speeds. However, its long chainstays and weight can hinder maneuverability in tight spaces. The bike's motor and battery systems are praised for their power and efficiency, though some setups may require fine-tuning for optimal performance.
Plush suspension performance
Stable and confident at high speeds
Powerful and efficient motor system
High-quality components and durable build
Smart Assist mode for efficient battery use
Long chainstays affect maneuverability
Heavy weight impacts handling at slow speeds
Requires careful suspension setup
Motor may judder when stationary
Limited battery range on some models
A solid spec and intelligent motor but the Reign E+’s long back-end means it’s not as manoeuvrable, agile or confident as some of its competitors when things get technical.
BikeRadarNo other motor offers as much support at slow cadences.

The 2022 Reign E+ gets a bigger battery, a new motor, and geometry updates.

There are bikes that make it easy to ride fast. They offer a lot of grip, the rider is positioned centrally on the bike and they're easy to handle. The GIANT Reign is NOT that kind of bike. Still, it's a lot of fun!
Good poppy suspension
A lot of fun with an active riding style
Its length adds stability in steep terrain
Suspension reaches its limit on rough tracks
Requires an active riding style
Sizing excludes a lot of riders

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?

Mick Reviews The Giant Reign E+ 1 Pro Around this time last year, Giant Bicycles unleashed its biggest and brawniest e-MTB to date; the Reign E+. As the
Mighty ability
Confident and comfortable
Ultra-sensitive power delivery
Suitable spec for e-chaos riding
Reliable and unshakable build and motor
Weight, length and strong alliance to gravity
Not-so-subtle appearance
Small 500Wh battery

Giant has some interesting tech going on with their latest Reign ebike, however, there are some issues we faced with the Yamaha motor and overall trail performance of the bike that we need to address. Read our full review on the Reign E+ Pro here.

The new Reign has a lot going for it—it’s a looker, it climbs and descends beautifully, and above all it’s fun.
Dec 2019 · Felix Stix, Robin Schmitt, Jonas Müssig
Carbon, light-weight, large battery: all these are foreign terms to the Giant Reign E+ 0 Pro. Can its robust features and componentry convince nonetheless?
One of the highest weight ratings in the group test
Smart Automatic support mode
Excellent suspension offering a lot of traction
Energy-robbing on the descents
Too little dropper travel/long seat tube
Counterintuitive remote sequence
