Reign E+ 2022

Since the last update it's possible to activate Auto Mode by long holding the + key. And it was really muddy today 🙈
Don't know how the "do not hose" contingent will clean this 🤦

Giant.jpg


Arrived a day early :) nice surprise.

So its a size large with 625Wh battery and it is tipping my bathroom scales at 25.3kg with no pedals. It has inner tubes right now so may lose a few grams when it goes tubeless.

Compared to my Rail 7 with a 170mm Zeb, bottle cage, pump mount and Oneup aluminium pedals (and a decent bit of dry mud) which comes in at 25.5kg.

The Trek also has one tube in the back because the rear wheel is so beat up that tubeless wont seal. So overall weight wise, I dont think I will really notice a difference.

Just sitting on the Giant it feels remarkably similar ergonomically to the Trek. With the seat height set correct the distance from the contact point on the seat to the center of the bar is pretty much the same. However, with the two bikes side by side the Giant just looks... well kind of Giant. Obviously the wheelbase is a bit longer but the downtube looks like it could fit the whole Trek in there, its pretty huge.

I am looking forward to putting some pedals on this thing and taking it for a spin. That reminds me, I need to order some pedals.

For some reason I convinced myself that this had a 220mm front disk but of course it doesnt. I have a couple of Magura 220mm discs that I was going to put on the Trek. I may donate one or both of those to the Giant.

Im looking forward to seeing how this thing rides but the weather here is pretty sucky right now so I think it may be staying warm and clean for a little while.
 
E+1 or E+0 ?

You must be an Giant. Those Bikes are so large. I switched to an M because it has almost the same reach, wheelbase, stack...... than an L size Levo.
Looking forward to your review.
 
I await your review, I am also very curious to know if you have any problems using it in your humid / wet climate or washing it, I have read that I do worry a little

But effective top tube is way shorter on M size Reign compared to size L Levo (594 vs 631). Steep seat tube angle and slack head tube angle make the Reign look a big bike.

I used the orig. cable and Lever on my OneUp 180. Plug and play and works perfect.

Great thanks. I was wondering if the giant gear had proprietary connections or something but if it’s just connect and drop in it saves on hassle. Got a fox factory dropper that would look and perform better than the stock giant I’m assuming.
 
For those of you who are worrying about the water resistance of the new Reign: don't worry but go out and ride!

I had to wash the bike now several times because it soaking wet in the woods and had ZERO issues so far.
To proof the evidence of the statement I did earlier on, I even pointed the hose directly at the controller, the battery compartement and the the top tube - but the electric componenty still work as they should.
For those of you who are thinking in problems rather than in solutions - just have a little faith in the worlds largest bicycle manufacturer.
