oh, definitely wouldn't want to. but if you had to at the end of a ride with a few miles to go and outta jam. some bikes are terrible with lots of drag.

There's no noticeable drag from what I can tell.

I wouldn't really hesitate to pedal this bike without assistance (only a few kg heavier than my analogue without a battery) however it would only be up fireroads servicing downhill tracks. Wouldn't be much fun trying to ride trails generally (as opposed to one-way gravity tracks) without assistance, though if that's your jib I would have thought the Trance would be better suited ayway.

does anyone who owns one, think a 2.8 tire will fit in the rear?

Butcher 27,5 x 2.6 comes out at 61mm on the 30mm rim. 2.8 would fit in easily too.

Anyone found a "0" in NW England don't fancy travelling if something goes wrong.

that XL is gorgeous. i find out today whether or not the Marin E2 i ordered a year ago will be delivered this Dec or not. i'm tired of waiting and the date pushed back. if not, there is one of these in XL locally in stock and i'll be buying it. Marin released the E series to great fanfare and incredible reviews and.......... almost no ability to bring them to market. Giant released their new eebs and bang, they are in stores now. they must have massive leverage compared to other companies, or maybe the timing was just right. i feel bad for Marin, they must have lost thousands of sales for bikes they can't provide.

It is a great time to love & ride a Giant eMTB right now.

Reign E+ is so easy to find here it's ridiculous, almost every of my local Giant bike shop has Reign E+ 0,1 & 2 in stock. Finding your size is not even a problem.

It's even crazier with the new 2022 Trance X E+ as all bike shops have every model coming in all size in large quantity with some bikes already being in stock.

Local Giant branded store to receive 60 of them.

Giant is going to flood the ebike market here while other manufacturers are still stuggling to ship bikes.
 
Just got my first ebike! Only had it on one ride so far but love it. I had the shop switch it to tubeless and they swapped the 125mm dropper (size M) to a 170mm one for free. Also threw in some metal OneUp pedals.

Can't wait to get out there more, it's rad! Tons of rear wheel clearance which is nice (short legs). It has some heft but I don't notice it much when I'm moving, I'm very happy for the price. I rode for an hour and it only went down one bar. I did notice I was hitting some rocks with my pedals but I might not have the shock set up right (or maybe it's a bit low compared to my regular bike).

Can't find one anywhere , Thomas's cycle revolution had one now gone , shame as stunning bike
 
how about that high speed rebound dial on the E1? can anyone actually get a tool in there and adjust it? pretty much buried.
 
In the specification it say UDHTM derrailleur hanger. I know of UDH hanger but UDHTM? Or is it the same thing?
 
Hi, which size would you recommend for 170cm Bodyheight?

Thanks, Florian

It’s quite easy. I used a small Allen key that would Fit into the hole of the red adjuster.
 
picked mine up yesterday. working on set up and the usual cockpit changes. pictures to follow. took out the brake pads, expecting them to be resin, but they were finned metal pads. i'm very impressed with the spec of this bike.

I have a +0 coming into Liverpool mid to end December and name down on one at giant Blackburn. They were very hit and miss though and didn’t really know what stock to to expect. Fingeres crossed for the early Xmas present though :)

Sizing wise in the Reign I think it’s definitely worth sitting on one to try - I really liked the medium with the seat dropped but with it up the effective reach was too close to the bars due to the steep seat tube angle.
 
one up 210 dropper, spesh power arc saddle, nukeproof 50mm stem, spank vibrocore bars 780mm, 50mm rise, diety supracush grips, wolftooth spacer kit w wraparound topcap. maxxxxis shorty in maxxxx grippp, double down front tire.

it's never ever going to look like this again living in the rainforest, so i might as well take photos now. full coverage mudhugger fenders front and back soon and ready for winter riding on the coast, so long as the snow elevation allows.
 
question: the shock rocker link is off center, asymmetric as it were. is this a design feature for the shock, or do i have a huge misalignment? i have no trail time as of yet so it's not like i can detect anything. looking down you can see it here:

This is normal. The entire shock and linkage is shifted left to provide more room for the chainring. Giant have been doing this for some time, even on old fashion pedal bikes.
