Summary

It excels in rough terrain with plush suspension and a stiff frame, though some models may feel harsh in certain conditions. The bike is compared favorably to competitors like the YT Capra and Specialized models, offering a blend of speed, stability, and climbing efficiency.

BikerumorGiant has done its homework and created a bike that delivers for pros and punters alike.
BikeRadarThe all-black aesthetic gives it an understated, if somewhat boring appearance. Despite not having any flashy Kashima or wireless bits, it’s still equipped with the important stuff; a top-notch frame and pro-level suspension.

Meaningful geometry adjustment
Reasonably efficient climber
Very confident and capable in steep terrain
Practical parts package
Bar/grip/stem combo feels a little harsh
Not the quietest bike in the rough

Giant’s engineering team completely overhauled the Reign Advanced for 2023 with a frame redesign that has now moved away from the somewhat ‘freeride’ style geometry numbers that the Reign has adopted in the past, and instead they set out to create a purebred, no-compromise enduro race bike!

2023 Giant Reign has 160mm of rear wheel travel with a Flip-Chip offering 3 Geometry Settings and the possibility of a 29" or 27.5" rear wheel

The Reign now has 160mm of rear travel and a three-position flip chip.

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
