Giant Reign Advanced 1 27.5" Mountain Bike 2016 - Full Suspension MTB
The Giant Reign Advanced 27.5 1 is built for taking on the world’s most demanding enduro courses. Control and confidence at speed with a stable geometry makes the Reign the king of enduro.
Developed with input from the Giant Factory Off-Road Team specifically for enduro racing, the Reign Advanced is for pinning it over rock gardens and floating up climbs. This is a machine for racers and trail junkies, and for the occasional uplift day.
You can buy the 2016 Giant Reign Advanced 27.5 1 through a 0% interest Tredz Finance package.
Frame
Stability is crucial for fast and confident runs through rocks, roots and ruts. A slack head angle, long wheelbase and low bottom bracket keep you fixed while short chainstays let you flick through the corners.
At the core of the Reign is an Advanced Composite frame. Only high performance grade carbon fibres and resin are used for a lighter ride. It’s built using a modified monocoque construction technique meaning the front triangle is moulded as one continuous piece. Less fibre is needed so the frame is lighter whilst improving strength. This front triangle is matched to an Aluxx SL rear end.
Upfront the tapered Overdrive steerer offers a stiffer platform for tight cornering in technical terrain.
Suspension
Equipped is the RC3 version of the RockShox Monarch Plus Debonair with 3 position compression adjuster. You can dial in the shock to match the trail you’re facing, whether you’re climbing or descending. The shock delivers a plush ‘coil like’ feel with great small bump sensitivity and big hit performance.
Upfront is the RockShox Pike RC3 Dual Air 160mm travel fork. The travel can be dropped to 130mm for a better riding position - ideal on long steep climbs. Low speed compression damping adjustment settings match those on the shock.
Giant’s Reign Advanced 1 is so efficient on the descents (and a solid climber) thanks to the Maestro suspension system giving you 160mm rear travel. Four pivots combine to create a floating pivot point that works independently of pedalling and braking forces. Active suspension responds to all surface conditions from high frequency trail vibrations to big hit compressions. Maestro works predictably and consistently whatever you’re doing - pedaling, coasting or braking.
Components
New for 2016 is the Shimano XT 1X11 speed drivetrain gives you a wide range of gears to play with and great chain retention due to the Shadow Plus rear mech’s clutch feature. Quality DT Swiss M 1700 Spline wheels are tough but lightweight with very easy tubeless conversion.
