Despite the smaller battery, the SyncDrive Pro 3 motor at the heart of the Giant Reign Advanced E+ betters its predecessor with 800 W peak power, and a modest increase in maximum torque to 90 Nm.

A terrific suspension setup, and a highly-capable motor highlight an overall great ride experience. Our time testing and reviewing the Giant Reign E+ Pro 2 was eye-opening. There was a lot we already knew going into it: Giant knows what its doing with MTBs and produces sound products, Yamaha makes good motors, and a lot
The suspension makes downhill riding and jumping a blast! The combo of the Maestro linkage, Rockshox Zeb, and Fox Float X made for an exhilarating experience.
The Giant-tuned Yamaha motor is fantastic. It shines in low cadence pedal situations, but just makes the bike highly capable in most any setting.
The geo of the bike is very stable. It’s a fairly slacked out setup, but it has a longer chainstay that helps keep the bike feeling steady when going down hill at speed.
Lot’s of control for handling technical terrain with the Maxxis mullet setup. The tires provide nice traction in various settings, yet rolled with great efficiency and speed.
We liked the minimal LED interface, and the Giant companion app allows for ride customization for tuning the motor output to your preference.
The Flip Chip tech can change up the geo. We enjoyed steepening the headtube when we took it on trails that had more switchbacks and tighter cornering. Optionality is never a bad thing!
The PAS control buttons are hard very subtle, but they are hard to discern on the fly. A more tactile and distinct pad would be nice.
Not so much a con as an FYI, the motor feels twitchy when trackstanding. It can be dialed back in the app, but we learned to enjoy the benefits of quick engagement.

The Reign was both the easiest and the hardest bike I’ve tested so far. The easiest because it was exactly what I expected and hoped it would be: an aggressive enduro bike with excellent suspension performance. The hardest because, well, I’m just not that aggressive of a rider so I had to step out of my comfort zone and I had to be at the top of my game to get the most out of the bike.

Giant’s updated Reign offers comfort and confidence when the going gets steep, with a solid parts package that’s very well considered for the price
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! Reviewer // Blake Nielsen Photos // Matt Staggs Let’s get straight to the point, does it seem like they’ve hit the brief and how much ‘speedier’ is the bike now compared the previous […]

Featuring a new frame with more travel and mullet compatibility, the new 2023 Giant Reign is a big step up over its predecessor.
Incredibly calm and composed on rough terrain
Plush & highly adjustable suspension
Maestro linkage offers terrific efficiency
Great geometry for high-speed brawling
Flip chip is useful & offers mullet compatibility
Fantastic tyre spec
Internal storage hatch is too small
Rear hub pickup speed
35mm bars are very stiff
