thanks for postin' those pix. i'm diggin' the gold color of the Reign....however i'm still not a fan of the aesthetics of the "maestro" suspension design, not saying it doesnt perform great, rather i just think it looks very cluttered.

I'm with you - It doesn't look 'right'.

Yep, I agree there DINO. I actually got to ride a Giant Reign and was quite impressed. It pedaled pretty well I thought.

Overall I like the look of the Reign X and have heard good things about them but good luck adding air to the boost valve on the shock.

I tried the Anthem (I know, not plush enough for you guys, in fact, me either).

But, great little race bike...felt like a hardtail on the climbs, with just a touch taken off of the rough spots on the trail.

I just don't race enough, or with enough intent to win, to justify a RACE bike.

Although I don't ride XC too much, that Anthem looks pretty damn good!

Default Reign X-1?

Looks like the X-1 is more FR oriented with the chain guide, coil shock, and Van 36.

Any difference in geometry from the Reign X?
