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 of the components listed on the Reign’s spec sheet are tried and tested and generally good quality.
Surprisingly, even though those are all positive known statements, they short-change a greater experience that we had to ride to know for ourselves. It sounds cliche, but the whole really was greater than the sum of its parts. The Reign E+ Pro is well equipped for a fun enduro experience.
Giant gave the Reign E+ Pro a slack geo, a slightly longer than most chainstay, and then gave it a burly 160/170 setup with the
Fox Float X and RockShox Zeb. Although we already knew the suspension components were nice, they felt better than ever when paired with Giant’s Maestro linkage tech. If you want to have fun, try barreling downhill or hitting jumps – the bike can more than handle it.
