Reign e+ 2 with upgrades so far: Super Deluxe ultimate '23 Magura mdr-p rotors Code RSC brakes XX1 chain Golden decals for Zeb, made me faster 😄 Upgrades sitting on the shelf, to be installed soon : The latest Zeb ultimate debonair and charger, with buttercups. Kryptotals front and rear...

Same bike ! I do get pedal strikes some times. I try to improve my technique but on some climbs it seems inevitable. Hmm... I would not have thought that by going to a narrower tyre I would loose some ground clearance. Thanks !

Hello guys. Being relatively new to the sport (2 years) I would like to ask what do I gain or loose by going from a 2.5 rear to 2.4 , and for the front : from 2.6 to 2.4 ? Usage: natural single track enduro trails, guite gnarly, rocky and loose. I want to try the continental kryptotals, but...

Just wondering, has anyone weighted the wheels of their +2 (or +3, same wheels) model ?

A strange thing happened during yesterday's ride: I use a Garmin Edge 530, with the ebike sensor paired. It gives reading for ebike's battery (so I have a percentage on the screen, more usefull than the 5 bars on the dash of our bike) and also power mode indication. Suddenly the Garmin pops up...

What size did you go for the Kryptotal? I can only find 2.4

If the emtbs produce and output power as a % of rider's power input, then there has to be a sensor for that. A power meter of some sort. Otherwise how would the system know how much output to give ? 🤔

Reign, at Pikilo rocky mountain, west end of Athens, Greece.

for what is worth, I weighted my '22 Reign +2, size M, with pedals, and cushcore in the rear: 25.6 kg

E+2 (625wh battery): I'm about 74 kg, with all my gear on. Also there is a cushcore in the rear which adds rotating mass. Maxterra compounds, DHF front, High Roller DD rear. Yesterdays ride, at 11 degr Celcius, on dry trails: 51% battery consumption during a 29 kilometer ride, with 852 total...

Yes, I'm looking to buy a new whole wheel. But keep the existing cassette because the bike has only done about 300 kilometers so far. Thinking about a DT Swiss HX1700. Hub options are : XD, Shimano, or Shimano 12-sp, so I guess the right choice is Shimano.

Hello everyone, happy new year ! Since I'm in to mtb for about a year, I have never had the need to deal with freehubs so far. Now I'm thinking to upgrade the rear wheel of my '22 Reign E+2 and I'm lost. If I have understood correctly : - since the '22 model, +2 , uses a 12-speed SRAM...

Thank you, that worked !

Has anyone changed the cable of the droper post ? The end cap on the lever went loose, as result the cable frayed and then it was impossible to pull it back to place without causing it to fray more and more. Removed the seat post, took the cable out only to see that the cable housing is nested...

Thank you Steve
