Reign E+ 2022

[Ruemtbs]

Did you try letting the air out and seeing if the forked got sucked down? Just curious as it seems like my problem may be fairly unique. It’s in for a service now so hopefully comes back buttery smooth. A coil sounds awesome. Let us know how that goes for you. Cheers.

So looking to get a giant e+ 2022. 625wh battery. Seeing a few people getting very low range on their battery. New Yamaha motor not very efficient?

Me too would be interested to hear range vx rider weight stats rob what range did you get while testing the reign??

Yes when I met the air out of the fork it sucked it down. I took the advice of another member on the chat and would put in around 20psi then bounced the fork before putting more in. Pump air, bounce repeat

Anyone else had a problem to reach the dropper lever?

the breaks are so close to the remote as possible. They interfere on the other side. Gap between break clamp and remote is to small to have the lever clamp.

when I hold my normal grip my tum tip tuches the lever. Very bad ergonomic in other words.

Yes any ideas on this? Need a longer dropper lever

You can move between the remote and break clamp. Need to loosen the break clamp for it to fit.

Mine E+0 does the same sound when it decouples. If there is load on the pedals it went quiet . Also my Motor Motor became much more quiet after 500km regarding the wining noise. now it is very quiet. But this decoupling sound is a little bit annoying . Please keep us informed what your LBS says.

I get the same noise, think it’s the internal gearbox “clutch” or whatever it is.

I gave up trying to shoehorn a bottle and cage into my M sized Reign. I just bought a Camelbak hip bag that holds a bottle, very comfy and you don’t get that sweaty back you get from wearing a rucksack.

Size M bottle 600ml fit good

 

[LJR69]

I have a size L and the 590ml bottle and it doesn't fit because the X2 negative chamber hits the bottom of the bottle under shock compression. Your bottle looks smaller than my 590ml - it looks like the 450ml

I think zorro77 is rocking the YT Thirstmaster 4000 bottle...It has a wider shape than the Fidlock so it a bit shorter ✌

 

[trailaddict]

Exactly - Thirstmaster 4000
Fits even on top of the Plate of the Range Extender

Anybody look into this?

Newbie here, may I ask which tires, disc brake rotors and which pedals did you install?

My brakes (also XT in the E+1) are often noisy when wet or after heating a bit - way noisier than the ones on the Stance E+ (same SLX 203mm rotor, but MT420 4 piston calipers, never really made any noise in any condition - only for a couple of seconds when first getting wet). I went through the bed-in process "properly" (as much as I know) on both bikes. I'm thinking of switching the rotors and/or brake pads.

I got the DMR Vault Brendog pedals on mine, don't look nearly as slick as the ones in your photo and I'm not ecstatic with the grip either (using 5/10 rubber, they're okay - replaced all the pins with the included Moto X ones -, but I'm left with the impression that the Crankbrothers Stamp 2 I have on the Stance E+ dig better in the soles). Someday I'll try clip-ins

I used some old inner tube to protect the frame where the mudhugger mounts. I then sanded down the contact point on the mudhugger as it was not completely flat. When attaching the guard to the bike I used all the zip tie slots as tight as I could on both sides of the guard. It works great for me and never slips.

I’m planing to drill some extra holes in in the fender to make mounting better for the reign.

the smallest camelbacks are underrated. Can’t even feel It after 5min. Especially with full gear (body armor, FF and so on).

POC has a small backpack with back plate even.

Maxxis assegai 2.6 fr & Rear
Hope cranks 155mm
Magura mdrp rotors 220F 203R
Burgtec bars
Spank split stem
ODI grips
Shimano xtr chain (stock is rubbish)
Pedals are giant brand DH flat pedals
These are grippy as these pedals and chew your shoes up too.

The brakes are noisy from the metal pads
Mine do it too but fleas away pretty quick once the water dries up.

@Chuggz why two o-ring on the Fox 38 ?

I had this issue, I also felt the ridecontrol ergo 3 was too far tilted away from my thumb making pressing the power up button slightly awkward. I ended up loosing the ridecontrol and tilting it a bit toward me. This mean I could then slide the brake lever clamp into the recess. See the attached images

 

[trailaddict]

This Bike is sooooo much fun
The Butcher did a great job digging trough the pow on the ascent, and provides plenty of grip even at these low temperatures over roots and rocks on the downhill.

Looking at this pic, I've just realised my bike didn't come with the grips shaped to match the ridecontrol. I now feel cheated. I reckon I deserve at least a 1k refund from Giant to compensate for the emotional distress this has now caused.

I think they were a 1k option

Awesome pic - how did the battery cope with the temp? Did you see much difference?

It’s just the dust line lol I only have one oring

Well, I didn't put much attention to it today.
This is one of my standard laps behind my house with only 600m of altitude. So range is not an issue at all and I was running the Bike in Auto Mode or Level 3-4.
Today temperature was in the range of -5 to +5 Celsius. And this does have an effect on the battery, no doubt about it. On the uphill I had to dig trough loads of deep snow and that eats up the battery quickly. Came home with 60% left which I find quite okay.

You can have mine if you like I changed them for deity supracrush.

For the poppy light feeling, I am running the rear x2 shock at mutch lower sag, down to 12mm (150 -> 220psi)
Changed setting back to low, no issues with pedalstrikes, when running low sag, and low on flip chip.
It is more planted in low flip chip, love it
