Giant Reign β€” Enduro Mountain Bikes for Serious Descents

The Giant Reign is an enduro-focused full suspension mountain bike with Maestro suspension, 160mm of rear travel, and geometry built to handle Scotland's steepest and most technical trails.

Designed around enduro racing and big-mountain descending, the Reign uses Maestro suspension delivering 160mm of rear travel paired with a 170mm front fork. The alloy Reign 1 and 2 use ALUXX SL aluminium with Advanced Forged Composite rocker links, while the Reign Advanced Pro 2 moves to an Advanced-grade composite main frame. The Reign SX is a dedicated enduro race variant. At Sprockets Cycles in Kilmarnock, we stock the Reign range for riders who prioritise descending performance above all else.

  • Fox 38 fork (170mm): enduro-category fork providing 170mm of front travel with GRIP2 damper for controlled descending on the most technical terrain.
  • Flip chip geometry adjustment: adjusts head angle, seat angle, and bottom bracket height in one step β€” slacker for descending, steeper for efficiency.

Maestro Engineering and the Reign's Descending Capability

Giant builds the Reign's aluminium frame from ALUXX SL-grade alloy with Advanced Forged Composite rear rocker links β€” a combination that reduces weight in the pivot assembly while maintaining the frame's stiffness and impact resistance. The Reign Advanced Pro 2 uses an Advanced-grade composite main triangle with the same Forged Composite rocker link system and adds a titanium skid plate for frame protection.

Maestro suspension delivers 160mm of rear travel through Giant's four-bar linkage, which positions the main pivot to balance pedalling efficiency with descending sensitivity. The Fox 38 Performance Elite fork provides 170mm of front travel on alloy models, with GRIP2 damping on the Reign 1 for precise compression and rebound adjustment. Integrated downtube storage on the Reign is a practical addition for enduro days β€” tools and a spare tube accessible mid-ride.

The Reign range is available at Sprockets Cycles on Ayr Road, Kilmarnock. Our team ride the trails around Ayrshire and further afield in Scotland, and can advise on the differences between alloy and carbon Reign models, suspension setup, and compatible tyres for technical terrain.

Tyre choice is critical on an enduro bike. The Reign platform suits Maxxis DHR II or Assegai tyres in 2.4–2.6 inch widths for Scottish conditions. Our team at Sprockets can advise on current recommendations and can assist with suspension setup for your local trails.

FAQs

  • What is the difference between the Giant Reign 1, Reign 2, Reign Advanced Pro 2, and Reign SX?

    The Reign 1 and 2 use ALUXX SL aluminium frames with Advanced Forged Composite rocker links β€” the Reign 1 has a stronger suspension and component specification. The Reign Advanced Pro 2 uses an Advanced-grade composite main frame with a titanium skid plate for reduced weight. The Reign SX is a dedicated enduro race variant with specific geometry and component tuning.
  • How much suspension travel does the Giant Reign have?

    The Reign uses 160mm of Maestro rear suspension with a 170mm front fork. This is a full enduro specification, designed for demanding descending rather than XC or trail riding.
  • Is the Giant Reign suitable for Scottish enduro racing?

    Yes β€” the Reign's geometry, 160/170mm travel, and flip chip adjustment make it a capable enduro race platform. It performs well at events held on Scottish trails where steep, technical terrain demands consistent descending confidence and traction.
