I'm happy to put up with slack seat tubes, because I find them better for descending.

For me - an enduro bike should essentially be a downhill bike in a cut down more manageable package. The Reign fits that bill entirely, I'd get the new one as well - but the differences between the 2018 and 2015 aren't enough to warrant it. The leverage ratio isn't hugely different and it's only 15mm longer. Especially as I'm running a DHX2 and a Fox 36 with an ACS-3....I'd be tempted with a frameset...but Giant don't sell them in the UK.

If the 2018 Reign had been a degree slacker out of the box, then it would have been perfect for me. 475-480 reach, 64-63.5 degree head angle and an 18 inch seat tube would be perfect.
