Giant presents the Reign 29 for the model year, a new addition to the enduro and all-mountain bike Reign family. The bike was developed in collaboration with the racers of the Giant Factory Off-Road Team. Since its introduction in 2005 - as one of the first Giant mountain bikes with Maestro suspension - the Taiwanese bike manufacturer has continuously developed the Reign further. The latest addition to the Reign collection is aimed at mountain bikers who crave more speed, efficiency and confidence on the most demanding trails.

The heart of the new Reign 29 series is the updated Maestro rear suspension and progressive 29er-specific frame geometry. Both were developed for enduro sports and tested at Enduro World Series competitions. The new shock with Trunnion Mount stands out for a longer stroke and a softer, more active ride feel at the rear. Also on board are longer telescopic seatposts, which allow more maneuverability on the bike. To align the geometry with 29er bikes, the frame has been fitted with shorter chainstays and a longer top tube. A head tube angle of 65 degrees and a seat tube angle of 76.8 degrees should ensure the right balance. And: All new Reign 29 bikes are equipped with the "Giant Tubeless System" technology.

Here's a look at the three series of the new Reign 29:

Reign Advanced Pro 29:
The flagship of the new Reign 29 series is equipped with a frame made entirely from advanced composite technology. It is the first long-travel 29er from Giant, designed to meet the demands of enduro and all-mountain riders. It features the latest Maestro suspension with an "Advanced Forged Composite" linkage and a shock with trunnion mount. The front with 160 mm and the rear with 146 mm travel are designed to react actively and sensitively to small bumps and big hits.

Reign 29:
These models have the same suspension updates and the new 29er-specific enduro geometry as the "Reign Advanced Pro 29" series. The main difference is that the frame and swingarm of these models are made from ALUXX-SL aluminum.

Giant also has a new full suspension in its range for less radical riders. The Stance 29 rolls to the customer as a full-suspension trail bike with modern 29er geometry.

First introduced in 2015 as a high-performance full suspension platform for aspiring XC and trail riders, the Stance series has already found many fans due to its first-class off-road qualities and versatility according to Giant. The original Stance marked the debut of the so-called FlexPoint suspension: a single-pivot suspension designed to provide reliable, active rear suspension for trail riders to increase their ability and speed over rough terrain.

The all-new Stance 29 features a modern and stylish frame geometry optimized for larger diameter wheels. The FlexPoint suspension system has 120 mm travel at the rear, and the new "long and low" geometry includes a 67.5-degree head angle and a 75-degree seat tube angle. A combination that optimizes the rollover capability and torque of the 29-inch wheels. The new frame has been developed for use with a 130 mm suspension fork to improve control over technical trails. All models in the Stance 29 series feature the Giant WheelSystem and tires with tubeless technology ex works.
