Today I tested it in a trance X e + 2021, the same with the rear wheel raised with the support and pushing the pedal in the same way and it is the same noise, it seems that when the wheel is raised and does not press against the ground , It has like that little dead center until it hooks, with the wheel on the ground it does not, it is perfect, if someone else could try it on the new pw-x3 2022, I would appreciate it

Hi! That's the "normal" noise when engaging the motor. It is louder on the pw-x3, but it is present in pw-x and pw-x2 as well as other manufacturers. Some sounds higher than others.
I think you don't have to worry, just watch it over time, you have plenty of warranty yet
Cheers from Spain!

Both Reign 0 & 2 have the same Sram NX cassette that is 11-50T.
Both derailleurs on 0 & 2 are compatible with 11-52T cassettes however.

¡Hola! Ese es el ruido "normal" cuando se activa el motor. Es más fuerte en el pw-x3, pero está presente en pw-x y pw-x2, así como en otros fabricantes. Algunos suenan más agudos que otros.
Creo que no tienes que preocuparte, solo míralo a lo largo del tiempo, todavía tienes mucha garantía
¡Salud desde España!

Gracias desde España también, en concreto desde Valencia

I had a medium E+0 reserved at giant Guildford which is now in stock but they wouldn’t honour my cycle to work scheme voucher, however giant Liverpool will?! So waiting for stock again
Could some one with new Reign take picture of brake disk mounted magnet (for speed sensor)? Specially if you have bike with Shimano brakes? I plan is to replace the Shimano brakes with SRAM brakes when the bike arrives and was just wondering if I can use the same magnet?
In below picture the magnet is not unfortunately visible.

The magnet sits on a plate which is held by two of the six screws of the brake rotor. Works with every 6-bolt rotor.just switched from Shimano to Galfer and then to Magura and had no issues at all.
To the lucky ones that have already received their new Reign E+… Come on guys, stop keeping everything to yourself.
Comments... good stuff, bad stuff, climbing, cornering, descending, suspension, weight, wheelies, bunny hops, jumps, anything?

Is that your standard rear hub?
Sounds good

I can't confirm this for the 2021 Trance X e+ which was washer hosed down dozend of times.
Also not for my 2019 Trance SX e+ after the LBS did the cables.
My New Reign 2022 does also still work fine after washing it.
Giant learned their lesson - so please do not claim there is a general issue with water
Yeah well my 2020 reign1 would turn off if I even said the word water.
it was a genuine issue for 2020 models.
I think most know this.
I’m not claiming anything for the new ones. I guess I’ll have to wait for mine to arrive.
if correct is the one that comes standard with the bike
My buddy just bought the Reign E1 a couple of weeks ago had a 4 or 5 rides on it and it got muddy. Hosed it off a couple of times, and now it will shut off while climbing or descending. He bought it from a corporate store here in Vancouver. He will hopefully find out if they can fix it next week. Store does not seem to helpful. It rains a lot here so this ebike may not have been the right choice for here.

Any mountain bike electric or otherwise should be built to withstand being considerately hosed down. Every trail center has a bike wash and people still want to pull the wheels off and throw the e-bike in the back of the nice clean car and drive home after a day in the rain and mud. If the bike cant take it then its not fit for purpose and the manufacturer needs to offer a solution."Hosed it off a couple of times"...
I wouldn't do that to any e-bike. Remedy would be to get all parts completely dry, probably some disassembly ☹
I have a Reign E+1 on order and I will ride it in all conditions, drive 100s of km with it on the bike rack, camp with it on the bike rack uncovered leaving it exposed to rain, snow and whatever else and hose it down when I can no longer tell what color it is. This is how I have 'cared for' my Trek Rail and my wife's Decathlon Stilus and we never experienced any issues . 4000km on the Rail and it just lived through the rainiest summer for about 20 years. I expect the same from Giant.
Of course if you are holding the hose 10mm away from the join in the cover and letting rip at full flow then maybe you need to reconsider your technique.
I hope the issues that are being experienced are just the result of some fault/defect/quality miss or over enthusiastic cleaning that can easily be rectified because an EMTB should be able to tolerate that by design.

So, hopefully @Rob Rides EMTB 's review will arrive soon!!

Hello guys I’m new to this so please be gentle. I’m getting an ebike but not sure what. Really interested in the new 2022 reign. A big factor is the range and the 750 battery. Has any one got any experience of how much more range they get with this over anything else. Thanks

Exactly, I’ll be on my 4th EMTB when my reign turns up and have jet washed them all after each swamp, torrential rain and mud fuelled ride. Dry down, relube and it’s ready to fight another day. None have missed a beat. If the giant starts to flutter after a couple of weeks/ months I’ll be seriously pissed!
if water ingress does become an issue would the solution or rectification lie with giant or Yamaha..?

Does anyone know why some Giants have issues with water? If it has anything to do with electrical connections there is nothing better than ACF-50! Its an aerospace product that has literally save millions of dirt bikes and off-road cars. If there is any dielectric grease is here wipe it out and spray in the acf-50 as preventative maintenance.

The image you refer to clearly shows that the head angle changes from 64.5 to 63.7 degrees, and I can barely read Spanish.

My wife's giant trance +0 2019 had wire harness and 2 controller's replaced, not all at once also had the battery aligned. 99% dry conditions (dusty)
would cut out even on smooth tarmac.
The bike mechanic has done lots of wiring/electric on the giants, the motor it self seams fine no problem with that. The concern is bike is out of warranty now so if problems occur no we have to pay for repairs.
My powerfly has cutting out problems also but only when descending on rough terrain, most likely battery. Also has been adjusted.
There have been many post since 2019, when I joined this forum, about water ingres and battery fitment. Other than the rubber splash guard, extending below the battery interface, Giant hasn't fixed anything about it, that I can tell
In 2020 on the Reign, and then in 2021 with the X, Giant made it worse adding holes for cable routing that leak directly above the battery terminals. They solved one issue, terrible cable routine leading to poor shifting, but created even more places for water to enter the frame.
The biggest trouble, may be that the harness itself is not sealed. Water works up inside the harness, and from there, back doors into the connectors.
As adequate avoidance to ride ending water ingress, I tape up the harness, use dielectric grease, avoid the hose, and dry the bike with a fan after each wet ride. It's part of the deal, as Giant try to figure out what Yamaha, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Polaris, name 100 others figured out aeons ago, its part of the weirdness of bicycle DNA and its painful.

going off the limited pictures, there are 2 areas of concern for me. The first is the tube status indicator, not being mounted on top of the frame (alla specialised), won’t water just seep around the sides and into the frame and electronics assembly (if not properly sealed)?There have been many post since 2019, when I joined this forum, about water ingres and battery fitment. Other than the rubber splash guard, extending below the battery interface, Giant hasn't fixed anything about it, that I can tell

Secondly you can see from this pic the crud collection point at the base of the battery leading to the motor entry point. If this doesn’t get properly sealed up that’s a world of pain right there! @Pudding have you any more wet riding experience with the Reign that you can expand on please bud? Hopefully no issues encountered! Also how easy is it to get the battery out and that area cleaned? Cheers
This is my first Giant eMTB, but I still think people are freaking out here about hosing the bike.
It's quite muddy here at this time of the year, and each ride the bike gets dirty. Hosed down the bike a few times without any issues so far. Local bike shop even told me to hose that thing pretty much like a regular bike.
If it goes wrong, I'll bring it back to the bike shop that's why I bought it new...peace of mind bike is on a 2 years warranty.
Regarding the flip chip, you guys should flip that thing to the high position as soon as possible otherwise pedal strikes are going to be frequent on any ride with a few roots/rocks. I did notice a little difference and would prefer riding in the low position, but these pedals strikes were nasty with the BB being 10mm lower.
I rode a total of 70km this weekend, bike is freaking awesome, geometry is on point. Bike is easy to maneuver/whip in the air, super nimble. Motor is awesome. Being 260lbs, my max range with the 625wh battery is pretty much 30km and 1000m of ascent and that is climbing most of the stuff on sport mode (level 4)... pretty sure I could stretch the range if I was not cranking the power as much.
Here's a picture from yesterday, awesome weather.

I’ve had about 13-14 rides on it since I got it, I’ve hosed it off every ride so far because the trails are always muddy here at this time of year. The battery compartment is pretty wet, which it shows from the pictures, I even removed the bracket that holds the top of the battery in to check for lighting wires and it was wet up there which supports the idea that water could get around the top tube controller or through the cable ports. I haven’t had any issues with the bike turning off or any of the other things people have mentioned with the older models. I’m trying my best to put the bike through its paces, I’ve never had an ebike before, but I love it so far. I don’t find the pedal strikes to be any less than my other bike, I’d say it’s a pretty common issue with most long low and slack bikes these days. The battery is pretty easy to remove, loosen The screw at the top of the battery cover and pull it off to expose the battery. Then use a t25 to loosen the battery holder at the top, not much different than others I would imagine except this one doesn’t have a key.
flipchip changed to high, this weekend I try it, you wanted to change it, 64.5 ° is still a good angle to go down, to see sensations and above all to go up that precious 1 cm
