Because dh rigs are no fun. Plough machines. Reign is way more fun. Love mine at the parks
Reign E+ 2022
- Thread starter zorro77
- Start date
A few weeks in and many spin completed a few thoughts (E=1):
Can't tell any difference between Turbo and Auto mode.
Setting PB's DH with relative ease, still not flat out on it yet.
Build quality seems great, everything solid after a few weeks hard enough riding.
Sore hands. 38's feel plush but getting sore hands, maybe its the braking you have to do to slow it down, thin grips and gloves, not sure but would like to sort that out.
Mine has been 100% reliable so far, a couple of friends not so lucky, one had a new gateway fitted water a few hundred km. Solved all their issues.
Replaced tyres with Assegai (F) and DHF (R), both Max grip. Phenomenal traction, couldn't be happier with that combo.
See no need to change anything else so far.
Watch this space.

maxx gripp front and rear!! is it slippery where you are? i'm thrilled with the 38 personally. maybe consider different grips. the Deity Supracush are a favourite.

Latest MBR magazine suggests taking tokens out of front and rear - I took 2 out of the 38 a few weeks back and it made a significant difference. Also suggests torquing up the front axel with 0 air pressure in the fork to ensure the bushings are fully aligned - will try that before the next ride. He also reckons the 2.6 DHF isnt as grippy as the 2.5 - i havent really noticed a problem with the front but still want to swap out the rear HR2 - still not sure whether to chuck a DHR or Dissector - 2.4s on???

Looks really interesting. Do you have finished this project?
Anyone having already experience with this specific VOLspeed for the Syncdrive Pro2?

Just saw that yesterday, think it's only been out a couple of weeks. Don't have one, but now one is available I have the dilemma of should I, or shouldn't I? I definitely want the advantages of derestriction, especially on some flat-ish forest tracks local to me where the limiter kicks in way to early and spoils the fun, but it's the warranty issue on a new bike that concerns me, especially since a few seem to be having problems.
I wrote an e-mail and ask about traceability. It is not traceable once removed.
I've just bought it. I will be testing it next week
. Just not to disappoint you. I won't set it up to 45kmh. I will set it up to 36.

What speed does it default to? I don't have any way to tweak it if I do get one.

Its all in the manual
I think default is 32. Why can't you tweak it? You just need a cell phone and ride control app.

Ah, I thought you needed a ridedash display

Its beefy thats all i know
The manual says that app is enough. We will see.
24.5 says the sticker on the frame.
We still waiting! Heheee
I see the Planet 3, 37'5kmh is enouhgt.
And i think it is less traceable for warranty.
Not disappointed at all. I will not crank it up to the max. My former bike was a giant US model with 20mph/32kmh. Huge difference to 25kmh and Im really annoyed by it.I've just bought it. I will be testing it next week
If any dealer would just update me to the US software it would be enough for me, but they decline due to legal reasons.
Planet 3 would be my favorite as you do not interfere with the motor/electric at all. But I cant find the right version for Reign E+ 2022?
Agree 100%. It's funny how completely arbitrary these numbers are. Europe rounded it to 25kmh and US to 20mph. The problem is that coincidentally 20mph is a speed that just makes much more sense. But EU (=German) law never had any sense. It's still very much legal to go on an analog bike 30, 35 or higher. Politics sucks monkey balls.
If you say that Giant won't do it for legal reasons it's still better than Bosch that doesn't even provide the dealers the tools to change the speed limit. They can change the wheel circumference a bit. That's it.
It's actually not that simple. The electronic delimiters are actually usually much better in fooling the software of the ebike's motor into thinking that everything is "normal". If a maker of a motor implements real anti tampering measures (like Bosch) they will of course easily detect the fact that there is a mechanical device that divides the signal from the magnet with some factor. Electronic tuning devices actually do the same thing but usually they try to be much smarter about it.
I just found the Planet3 for Reign E+ 2022. But is it working good? I just wonder because of all the sensors used in the SyncDrive for the automatic support mode?
So do you think it would be better to use a electronic delimiter?
Also just found this delimiter.
Looks good and is reasonable priced.

Just curious...what about firmware updates with a chip fitted? How does that work? Do you have to avoid future updates?
