Another option would be a Marin wolf ridge. 30ish pounds, 140mm travel, laterally stiff, easily chuckable and comes with good spec.

wow, even a dedicated bike shootout by a good mag will have a tough time deciding between these fine steeds Smile

My 09 Remedy 7 in a 19.5" (large) weighed in at slightly over 32 lbs (32.02 if i remember correctly) out of the box with flat pedals put on. I guess its not confirmed without any pics.

I'm taking it for its first ride today!!

Awesome, thanks.

Wasn't my intention to make a big deal - but i also have no intention of turning an AM bike into a psuedo-FR bike.

I'd just like to know if one weighs 33 while the other weighs 29, because for me, it makes a difference.

Gotcha, well I'm not fast on climbs anyway so it's not a big difference to me. I wouldn't call my bike a pseudo FR bike though ... I just like to go fast Pirate like pirates on pirate ships! fast! FO SHO! Joker

I have at 09 Reign X1 its been pretty good to me so far. For the price its a good buy its got great parts on it. The only big problem i have with the reign is that i keep on bending the upper rocker and bending all the bolts in the rocker arm. I had some of the bolts custom made out of a stronger steel instead of aluminum hopeful that will fix some problems. Anyone else have that problem?

Interesting, we've got a number of Reign and Reign X's kicking about town and I have not had to do any work on the pivots... and some of these kids like to send the odd huck w/o thinking about being smooth. The first thing that comes to mind would be that maybe the bike is under sprung for how you guys are riding them. 30% sag is a nice number but if you are a hard/brave rider then you may have to run less, whether means more air or a heavier weight spring.

How much sag are you guys sitting at? Do you bottom often?

I'm a Giant dealer in the Tri-cities area outside Vancouver BC. I see a lot of Giants at Whstler and haven't heard of people breaking pivots either. If you do a lot of big air you do have to set the bike up firm for it. It will be less than ideal on the trails when tuned for big air.

I do up to about 6 ft drops on My Reign 1 running 25% sag but I'm only 145 pounds with my gear.

This thread is why I'm gonna get a remedy, Smile
And keep in mind the 2010 aluminum frame remedys built just as strong as the 09 and later frames, So when I'm getting mine I'm throwing a Fox 36,RS Lyrik,or Domain fork on it and making it true AM again,
