What tyre would you put on the back of the Reign for hardpack/dry summer riding? Running a Magic Mary front and rear at the moment, but racing an Enduro at Swinley Forest in September, and want a faster rear tyre.

Seems to be a few Schwalbe options out there...

What length dropper comes on the medium 2018 reign. Be interested to know if it slams all the way in.
Based on that that photo of the L a 125 will be just about the same maybe a few mm further in.

Rockrazor rolls fast and brakes good when on hardpark but if it's loose over hard it can get sketchy for braking. The only other Schwalbe would be Hans Danf, I know it's not popular but I like it as a rear tire for all varying conditions.

Schwalbe rock razor is a very good option

Spaz slaughter

Minion SS

Aggressor

High roller 2 (has good ramped knobs)

Or cut some ramps into your magics middle knobs. ????

Except it's a PIG for rolling resistance

Which one? I have never found that to be true with pacestar in the rear.

Is this a Giant Dropper Post?
Yes, the new one, the bike is 100% stock.

Giant has a new dropper post for 2018?
