Any more info on the new Reign. Don't like the colors of the 2017 reign 2 very much, but I snapped my frame so I'm bikeless. I'm desperate for a new bike and idk if I should wait.

2018 Reign 2 i suppose, given the drivetrain, wheels and the shock?

Nice color, would love to have it, but not with this gear on it Big Grin

They still haven't made a price/performance bike of the original AL Reign 1 from 2015 :/

I think it's the reign 0. The Black nob on the fork looks like a low speed compression nob, which only comes on rct3 forks. Too expensive for the reign 2

Looks like an alloy version to me... think I can see some welds on the head tube. Pretty sure the reign 0 is black.

So the new reign has been released. But im a bit confused. On the Giant website, the reign 2 has photos of 2 very different bikes. They both appear to have downgraded to a 10 speed shimano drivetrain, which i don't really care for. But the bikes have different suspension builds, one being fox and the other rock shox. Is it possible that Giant is giving us a choice between rock shox or giant? Or is this a mistake? Seems like the components are the same other then the suspension.

Anyone catch the size of the new metric shock? Wondering how much they added to the stroke.
