The Giant Reign is a 170-160mm travel trail and enduro bike running on 27.5" wheels, Yamaha motor and a a Giant tuned 500Wh battery that can really chew up the miles.
I was told to try the Reign and if I'm honest I wasn't keen. I didn't like the paint job or the super long chainstays (470mm) but how wrong I was! The Reign is like a mini DH-bike super stable and just ate up trails so well for a 160mm travel ebike.
The wheels on the base model Reign were like potato crisps after 3 days of testing but the Reign still offers fantastic value for money and can be purchased at your local bike shop. It's nice to see models are coming with 625Wh batteries now.
