Eurobike 2013 - Good, Bad and the Ugly
This is indeed the Reign SX: the frame of the Reign X and the Reign SX are the same. The main spec differences are coil shock and fork vs. air shock and fork and second difference is single chainring vs. double. So, more meant for bikepark/lift use while the 'normal' Reign X is a bit more all-round due to the 2x10 (or for 2014: 1x11) drivetrain.

Giant Reign 1 Review
Great review and a great bike. What I love about my (2007) Reign is that it's so versatile. It's light and efficient enough for serious climbs, while it is more than capable enough for some serious fun while going down the hill. Of course it is NOT a downhill bike, but just put in a 160mm fork with drop-down capabilities (2 Step Air or TALAS type of fork) and it will even shred harder on the descents. And in that case the alternative is the Reigns older brother Reign X.

Picture of the Month - February 2012
My vote is still on the Giant pic, although the third one is pretty cool too. That woman waving from the window above: shot at the perfect moment!

Tech tuesday - RockShox BoXXer TLC
That's new for me too, as well as the tip to put some grease on the upper bushing. There's oil in the fork to lubricate that part. I think the extra grease that gets introduced in the system this way will only decrease the quality of the oil and not be much helpful. It might be a better alternative to put a few drops of fork oil on the oil seal before placing back the stanchions.
Grease on the inside of the dust-seals is obviously a smart thing since there's no oil there.
