2011 Giant Reign 1

This is my all-mountain whip. It's incredibly versatile and easy to pedal around. It was suggested to me as an XC bike for a DH guy, and that's a good description. I've ridden it in Squamish and around the Vancouver Island and Hornby areas. Everything is stock, except for the big-ass chrome Chromag handle bar, the Specialized seat (so comfy for a tiny race seat), and the Reverb dropper post. Shock, fork, and brakes get professionally serviced yearly (because I can't do a good job of it myself so I don't even try). Reverb post has a bigger diameter hydraulic line on it because the stock line kept plugging; apparently this is a common solution and it's worked great since. I just replaced all the bearings in the frame pivots in late Sept 2014, and all is well (one of them was creaking so I did them all). Everything is in good shape. I've loved this bike and taken care of it, which is true for all my bikes. I can send more pictures if requested. I can meet up any time to show the bike, and I can deliver it to the lower island area or potentially the lower mainland area.

I can sell it for less without the dropper post if that's better.

Factory Description

Giant's Reign 1 boasts 152mm of fully active, Maestro-equipped rear suspension that will take your riding to the next level. In front, the Fox fork with tapered steerer and stiff 15mm through axle helps you blast through rock gardens and rough sections of gnarly trail. Plus, the bike's lightweight aluminum frame surges forward, free of pedal-bob, for incredible power and traction on the climbs. The Reign rolls on DT Swiss wheels with Kenda Nevegal tires while Avid Elixir discs provide their awesome modulation when you need to scrub some speed. And, Shimano's 10-speed drivetrain ensures you'll always have the perfect gear.
