Reign Advanced
Izcelsme
Kopš aptuveni 2005. gada Reign ir Giant enduro / kalnu velosipēdu flagmanis, sākotnēji kā 6 collu alumīnija velosipēds, kas pakāpeniski tika pilnveidots līdz mūsdienu Reign Advanced oglekļa platformai, kas tika laista klajā 2014. gadā. Tas izmanto četru sviru Maestro piekares sistēmu, ko Giant izmanto un attīsta jau vairāk nekā 20 gadus Anthem, Trance un Reign modeļos. Pašreizējā paaudze (no 2020. gada) apvieno Advanced-Grade kompozīta rāmi ar 160 mm aizmugures / 170 mm priekšējo gājienu, 27,5 collu riteņiem, trunnion stiprinājuma amortizatoru un Fox 38 dakšu augstākās komplektācijās. Būvēts lieliem nobraucieniem, agresīviem pagriezieniem un EWS līmeņa slodzēm — un pierādīts uz EWS pjedestāliem ar tādiem braucējiem kā Džošs Karlsons un Makejs Vezina.

Verdikts
- 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
