Yeah, think it was very much a personal thing though.

You’re all talking about them like they’re hard done by- Giant is the biggest bike manufacturer in the world! They make over 5 million bikes a year. There must be something going for them!

Giant Reign on BikeRadar

Abigale is on her second Reign, when she outgrew the first one she asked for tne next size up

I love my reign. It’s not fancy, doesn’t stand out, but goes up, down and across very well indeed.
I used to swap frames every 6-12 months before getting it, had it for getting on 4 years now!

I had an 06 reign, Great downhill not so great uphill, After that I went back to a hardtail and got myself an 07 xtc alliance and haven’t looked back,
Brilliant bike love It and wouldn’t swap It till It dies.

Still loving my XTC

+1

I know of three xtc’c which are well loved and still giving good rides..
