My third Giant and favorite so far. This is going to be my AM/FR/DH bike. I am a very light and short guy (5'7" 130lbs) and with how stiff bikes are becoming I started to find it ridiculous that I was riding a 44lb 8+ inch bike. So far this bike has taken everything I have thrown at it. Does the job of my old Reign X1 (2008 ), glory DH (2008 ) and SC Vp-Free (2007) and does it all better (except for maybe when I botch something really bad and wish I had another inch!) 7" front and 6.7" rear gets me pretty close though.
Enjoy

Love the cable routing on the new Giants, it is so clean and out of the way. Now if only they would do an uninterrupted seat post it would be perfect.

I think the cable routing on the 2010-2011 giants is rather good; I prefer top tube routing to downtube routing any day. I have no desire to take a cut hose or bent mech cable from rocks and debris.
Has anyone got a Giant Reign 08 with a dropper? (Same as mine) Just ordered a Reverb at the shortest length (100mm travel - 355mm) due to the frame not being able to take a long post (innuendo ) Would like to know how high the saddle is when the post is at the lowest position? thanks
