I like that a lot! Need to sell them
What front light do you recommend? I went through a lot of videos and shops, but still unsure what is compatible and how to control the lights. Does the ridecontrol app let you to re- assign the middle button from the controller to activate the front light? Or can you do it from the app itself? Sure there is the ridecontrol dash with display and all but i would rather skip purchasing that only to activate the front light 
Other than that i´m quite keen on Supernova M99 mini which i also have on my Orbea wild. I should receive my E+1 on monday or tuesday latest

I don't think you can connect any lights. I have a couple niterider lightsWhat front light do you recommend?

Magicshine ME 2000, Trance X e+ 3
Just wanted to share a couple pics from my Magicshine ME 2000 install tonight, I'll post in the Product Reviews forum once I've had some time riding with it. I’m on a 2021 Trance X e+ 3 so it has the small display-less ergo controller on the left bar. Since there’s a headlight on/off button on...

The Galfer rotors I installed had mounts for the sensor. The Shimano rt86 ones I originally bought did not so I changed.
Just got back from sorting it. The Bosch 6 bolt magnet works fine with the giant motor. Cost £7. Fits any rotor

I have the E+1 Fox Float X2 Performance Elite shock. Mine doesn't have the 4 digit ID sticker, does anyone know what it is so I can get my shock details from the fox website?

Fordo, how does the Kitsuma feel compared to the stock shock.
Feels fantastic. Rode it on my local tracks last night to get a good comparison. Fast turns which are holed out and rocky are where it really shines though, corner speed is insane, to the point where in some sections I was pushing the front which I'd not done on this bike. It is very active when open so I did use the climb switch, this is a literal lock out imo, makes it like a hardtail. Really pleased with it and it was only £600 with the spring as TF had a sale of Easter.

Thanks.
I thought that link would give me the total stroke length - I assume it's 65mm, can anyone confirm that?
I also noticed that the HSC has only 10 clicks, with large gaps between each click - does this sound right?
Finally, unless I'm missing something then this model shock does not have LSC - is that right?
Only ever had non emtb hardtails so rear shock setup is new to me.
It's 62.5mm shock stroke. Used the stock fox settings for mine at 230psi, felt slower than what I would normally run but worked great
Trail systems arround here are finally opening slowly after a long winter, rode the bike 70km/2600m climb total this weekend.
The more I ride the bike, the more I like it!
Confidence inspiring through rough descents & rocky terrain while being nimble arround corners and fun to jump. Rear suspension is soft up top for these small bumps and still wasn't able to bottom out the rear yet, but I'll leave it as is to have that 10-15mm extra available to catch up these mistakes.
Bike is clearly at home shooting down and I would be curious to try a Trance X E+ on regular trails to see the difference.
The 2022 Reign E+ is truly in a class of it's own as an enduro eMTB at that price level, can't wait to see if Giant will offer carbon models & make that 750wh battery standard in the near future.

Can't wait to get out on mine, its sat at home waiting for invisiframe kit to arrive. Don't want to get it dirty b4 I fit it, but if it doesn't arrive before the weekend temptation may be too much!
Is that 2600m in 1 charge? 750w?
Been wondering what sort of range I'll get, heard mixed reports, had a quick ride up the local hill, quite impressed with it even in eco mode tbh.
I'm getting +-1000m per battery (625wh) @ Active mode (level 3) almost all the time, but I'm not really a reference as I'm heavy (6'3 120kg) & riding heavy rolling resistance tires.
To ride 2600m I had to use 3 batteries, but the 3rd one still had 50%+ left.
I'm flying on climbs compared to regular MTBs, but in general other eMTB are easily flying past me. Rider weight is making a HUGE difference.

I mounted and wired in the Lezyne E-bike Macro Drive 1000 on my 2022 Reign and re- assign the bottom button to light switch , you have to hold the button down to switch light off and on also light comes on when switching bike on.
Been riding the bike for a while now after the issue with the control unit at the start. Flawlessly at least concerning the motor.
Negatives:
- The batterycover tends to make funny noises between the plastic and the frame.
- The front wheel hubs bearing adjustment nuts keep getting loose (ok, its a 25$ shimano hub, what should I expect
)
- The saddle and dropperpost creak although I have cleaned the dropper and put grease on it.
Positives:
- Deore Groupset works very well.. While the derailleur seems flimsy it works as well as the XT/Slx etc.
- Motor is awesome (have only ridden a e8000), has good torque. Riding level1 mostly with 50%, only switching it up going downhill or on really steep trail uphills or when riding with a full group of ebikers.
After my positive initial feeling about the Fox Float DPS in the back I bottomed it out a lot when going wilder. I tried increasing the pressure which works but the small bump feeling gets lost of course. Same with the Domain on the front. Works well until dropping deeper, going harder. Lots of hard hits in a small timeframe cause the Domain to stay deep in the travel.. Same for braking.. Both probably cause there is of course no way to adjust low oder high speed compression...
I recently upgraded the Domain with a ZEB Charger RC2.1 damper unit which works wonders (should be a ZEB Ultimate now performance wise). With added low Speed compression braking is way better, same goes for 1-2 clicks of high speed, if the trail needs it.
For the back I was lucky to get a Fox X2 Perf. Elite that someone sold off from a Giant Reign e+1 with fresh service, that I just put it.
Does anyone know the torque specs on the lower bolt that holds the damper and linkage? Every other bolts has torque specs on them, just this one does not.

Just had my first weekend on the reign e+1, I also think the battery cover rattles a lot anyone found a good solution to this?
I thought it would have had a rubber seal round it at least to keep water out and stop rattles.
Is the idea that any water that gets in just runs out of the bottom?
Also had the bottom shock mount come loose and rattle, now sorted.
Had some dodgy rear mech cable routing issue, basically too much of a loop sticking out the chainstay going to the mech, its snagged and pulled even more out leaving it a bit tight at the top so when I turned right it changed gear, it wont pull back so i'll have to drop the battery out and see if its visible to pull from there.
Apart from that it rides fantastic !
