I was wondering if anyone has had experience of both of these systems and how they compare. I have an older Blur lt and like it but kind of fancy a change. There is no Giant dealer close to where I live/work so a test ride is difficult to organise.Thanks
Last year I did back to back tests on a Reign 0 and a Blur LT on two consecutive days. Both good bikes, but chose the Blur because:
1) It just seemed more "alive" and kind of egged you on to try things, whereas the Reign just kind of sat there being competent
2) Found the Reign riding position too sit up and beg for me
3) Hated the brakes on the Reign - Hayes Strokers, although TBF they could be changed easily
4) Minor point, but the Reign 0 colour was sludge green. I like a bike to look nice so I can take pride in fettling and maintaining
One point in favour of the Reign was that it was about £700 cheaper
Had the Blur LT for about 9 months now. Ridden it on average twice a week in all weathers and couldn't be happier with it.
