Reign E+ 2022

[DrStupid]

Do you mean 21 ? Or none at all next year ?

The dealer said there is No ETA for 2022 Reigns. They were told the bikes are "oversold" whatever that means.

I'm in Kentucky and inventory may be different in other states, but I'm unable to order one here.

I got a call from my shop in Louisville last night, and it looks like no Reign will be coming our way in 2022. My order was canceled.

Headquarters in California said that the bikes were "oversold" and expect ZERO this year.

Immediately, I assumed its a red state, blue state, trade war.

That sucks! I’ve been wondering why Giant hasn’t updated the US website. I’m located on the west coast and my shop put in an order for me as well… and if this a red vs blue thing then F*** these tyrants!

Looks awesome, I have mine on order. What size is it, does the paint have any metallic finish to it? Thanks

Size is L
Not a metallic colour.
It's a flat light-mid grey.

Lol. Hopefully some markets in the States get em. I talked with the dealer again today, and the report I got was Giant didn't say "No" but they wouldn't say "Yes."

I'm cool about it, but... I have been ordering spare parts! If there will be no new bikes this year, I'll try and make sure the one I've got keeps going.

LBS here in NZ said yesterday the 0's sold out - arriving in Dec & taking deposits on the +1 arriving in Jan. We share the same importer. In this big chain shop there were no Emtbs left at all.

Hi Doug

Was that T7 ?
We are quite limited with our options here in NZ, so many other brands available abroad.
It's a crazy time for sure

Emtb Reign e review

Is it only me who feels like these reviews are pretty pointless? I would have gotten more information from reading the spec sheet and Giant's media releases.

Nicely written and well narrated text, very well done action video shots. We know from the specs that it’s most likely a good bike….
I agree that the review is lacking real handling characteristics and comparisons with other bikes in the same category.

 

[mastakilla]

I dont think this was a "review." More of an ad, prolly paid for by giant

 

[1oldfart]

That guy likes all Ebikes. I saw a few from him.

I’ve been thinking the same. he hates calling any ebike shit, not really a reviewer is he

 

[R120]

EMBN dont review bikes, just do features on them - besides it pretty clear from when it says pay for content from giant at the beginning of the video that its not going to be anything other than an infomercial

 

[pampmyride]

EMBN - pretty video. But no info of use. just advertorial. A new motor? so how did it work?

 

[R120]

Bit better effort

Bit better effort

"I believe it's one of the few bikes in the world you can just switch it on and go" ??

I think we need a thread just for special Steve Quotes

 

[pampmyride]

Second vid was much better. Interested to hear Giant tinkering with the Yam software etc.

just arrived, Tg.M with pedals

 

[trailaddict]

Picked my new Reign e+ 1 today. More important to me than the weight is the fact that my 500Wh Batteries still work

Looks good. Someone is going to have FUN!

Do you mean to say that batteries for the new Reign are cross-compatible with the earlier years?

I've noticed that the Giant batteries seem about 20% more expensive than Shimano equivalents and was considering a repack if it ever came to that. Good to know if Giant batteries are compatible across the EMTB range.

 

[trailaddict]

I have a Trance SX e+ from 2019, and this 500wh Battery works in my Trance X e+ from 2021 and also in the new Reign.
The 625Wh Battery from the Trance X works also in the 2019er Model and the Reign.
What will not work is to fit the new 750Wh Batteries in the older models because it is thicker.

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

Anyone in the UK got one yet?

 

[R120]

Anyone in the UK got one yet?

Giant UK don’t know yet when bikes will be turning up

 

[1oldfart]

From what i read from 2019 the 400Wh was interchangeable with the 500Wh
and the 625Wh is also the same fit. I guess the 750 is probably bigger so
not compatible. Some have problems with the Shimano aging faster than
they are supposed like going to 85% in a short time.

Good to know. I'll keep an eye out for a 625 for my 2021 Stance.

Day one after i think i will survive one of the crueles diseases: i've a "man's cold" since friday when i picked up my bike.
After those days of almost dying i went to vist my bike in the basement. I fixed the not well working shifting and put some 3M foil on the bike. Hopefully can start first ride at weekend if i recovered till then

Beautiful Bike. Get well.

 

[trailaddict]

Well done @Duke


I changed the brakes to Shigura, cockpit tp 50mm Stem and 780mm Carbon bar with 30mm rise, saddle with Uphill lip, cranks to more sturdy e13 ones, shortened the cables and changed the tires to TL. Going to wrap it tommorow and then it's ready to roll. Pictures when the Job is done

Q: did your Bike come with the Fox Fender installed from Fab?

Yes the Fender was preinstalled
