5 Giant Reign 29ers, 5 completely different builds! From a stock flagship Giant Reign Adv Pro 0 all the way to a Reign 29 frame up custom build.

The new platform Giant Reign 29er was unvailed in 2020 has been a popular favorite here at Evo (and around the world) ever since. An Enduro beast, this bike is as capable as any on the decent and climbs particulary well for a long travel bike on the way up. It's available in a range of build options off the shop floor in both alloy and carbon, so there's a model to suit every rider and budget.
