Introducing the all-new Reign Advanced
The fastest, most confident Reign ever built. This all-new enduro crusher features a lightweight, super stiff composite mainframe that delivers flat-out speed and control on rough, rowdy terrain. When it comes to flying down the most extreme enduro tracks in the world, this is the weapon of choice for Giant Factory Off-Road Team riders.
Reengineered for 2018, the all-new Reign Advanced features updated geometry with a longer cockpit. It’s built with a lightweight, super stiff Advanced-grade composite mainframe and ALUXX SL aluminum rear swingarm. The updated Maestro suspension system delivers 160mm of smooth, active travel and incorporates a new Advanced Forged Composite upper rocker arm, which is lighter and stronger than the previous aluminum design. And it’s all designed around the proven performance characteristics of 27.5 wheels. Here are the core technologies that help the Reign Advanced give you a competitive edge over nasty terrain:
Giant’s High Performance Grade raw carbon material is used to produce this custom frame material in our own composite factory with a high stiffness-to-weight ratio. The front triangle of these framesets is assembled and molded as one continuous piece in a proprietary manufacturing process called Modified Monocoque Construction.
A state-of-the-art high-pressure molding process is used to produce complex-shaped carbon fiber components that are lighter, stiffer and stronger than similar components made from aluminum. This technology is used in critical performance parts such as Maestro Suspension rocker links.
Four strategically positioned pivot points and two linkages all work together to create a single floating pivot for the most active, efficient and independent suspension system on the trail.
Giant’s original oversized fork steerer tube technology. Designed to provide precise front-end steering performance, the system’s oversized headset bearings (1 1/4” lower and 1 1/8” upper for road, 1 1/2” lower and 1 1/8” upper for mountain) and tapered steerer tube work in conjunction to provide optimal steering stiffness.
