Reign Advanced
Algupära
Reign on olnud Giganti enduro / all-mäe lipulaev alates umbes 2005. aastast, algselt 6-tollise alumiiniumrattana, mida on järk-järgult täiustatud tänapäevaseks Reign Advanced süsinikplatvormiks, mis käivitati 2014. aastal. See kasutab nelja vardaga Maestro vedrustussüsteemi, mida Giant on kasutanud ja arendanud üle 20 aasta Anthemi, Trance'i ja Reigni mudelitel. Praegune põlvkond (2020. aastast edasi) ühendab Advanced-Grade komposiitraami 160 mm taga- ja 170 mm esivedrustusega, 27,5-tolliste ratastega, trunnion-kinnitusega amortisaatoriga ja Fox 38 kahvliga kõrgematel varustustasemetel. Loodud suurteks laskumisteks, järskudeks kurvideks ja EWS-tasemel koormusteks – ning tõestatud EWS poodiumitel sõitjate nagu Josh Carlson ja McKay Vezina all.

Verdikt
- Aggressive, race-proven enduro geometry with a sub-64° head angle and confident, composed descending
- Maestro suspension delivers strong traction and absorbs impacts effectively across varied terrain
- Light for the category (~15.1 kg L) yet a rock-solid, stiff carbon mainframe
- Sensible, complete spec for the money — carbon frame, carbon wheels, Fox 38 GRIP2, flip-chip and mullet flexibility
- Direct yet predictable handling that suits a wide range of rider skill levels
- Suspension and carbon rims can feel harsh and clattery over square-edged hits, hurting grip and speed retention vs rivals
- Suspension 'lacks pop' — needs more rider effort to launch off features, less playful than some competitors
- Reported rear carbon rim durability concerns (damaged during testing)
- Limited compression damping adjustment makes it hard to control ride height and balance in corners; some pedalling bounce
- Small in-frame storage opening and serviceability hurt by internal cable routing
