I’m looking for a trail bike used right now. The prices are really low. Here’s some things to consider. First with the new motor services available $200-400 you may not need a “new motor” after all. Second where has the bike been ridden is important. I’m in N Ca and bikes here don’t see a lot of...
I bought a 2022 reign and it cut out randomly. I took it to tbe shop and they called tbe rep. After tbe call thru replaced my battery and no problems since. It was during the supply chain disruption and we believe they had a 2021 battery with the new PW3 motor. They upgraded the 600W to the 800W...
I run a MRP Hazzard with a progressive coil riding weight is 175-180lbs with a 400 spring. Love it I played with it a bit to get it right. I have not touched the settings since.
I ride enduro tracks mostly and still have the OEM wheels with cushcore fr and back I’m getting a set of carbon...
EBike all the way. There are a lot of rides you can do up there including parts of the Downieville race course but if it’s your first time use the shuttle with your EBike. The DH has a few ups and downs and is just more fun on an EBike IMO. You’ll have plenty of company as more and more people...
Here in N California they are well accepted because of the terrain. Everyone wants to get as much DH as possible and at 65 I can ride with anyone and never get dropped. The 800W battery helps a lot😳
Yes I have raced my E bike. I participated in the CES (California enduro series) it was the first time I’ve ever raced a mtb and I was 64yrs young when I did my first race. A lot of fun and yes I ran hard but short of hospitalization speed. I learned a lot about riding difficult terrain at speed...
I generally buy second from the top of the line in all my sports equipment then as things wear out I upgrade to top of the line parts. The EBike has been different I bought 3rd from tbe top of the line and have upgraded to the. Est version of the bike possible. It’s now such a great bike and I...
Does anyone know if it changes tbe data in tbe computer effecting the power to pedals? Does there need to be a change in tbe chainring and if so more or less teeth?
It’s unfortunate you don’t get to enjoy the auto on your bike. I have a Giant Reign and love the Yamaha motor and auto assist. I use it mostly on varied terrain so I only have to think of microadjusting with my gears. On long steep climbs it’s better to go manual and when I race I go manual...
Thanks, I’ll check into this. Giant does have their own platform for the Yamaha motor. I liked tge interface on the unit shown better than the Giants. I’m 65 and race the CES. I liked his reasoning on how to tune t vs e motor. I’ll try detuning the higher modes firdt.
2022 E Reign Pro+ 2, Upgrades include 2022 ultimate fork innards, MRP coil shock w/progressive spring, 800w battery 190 dropper post, and a new frame. The original frame had a crack on the bottom of the down tube. Giant replaced it right away and I like the color even better. They also paid for...
I have a 22 Reign and love it. I’ve been upgrading parts that either get destroyed or wear out. It’s now a top of the line model with a coil which has made it even better downhill.. I had a 2020 version and the new version handles way better but the longer chainstays on the older model made it a...
I’m a COB who has my 2nd EReign and love it. At 64 I ride a thousand plus mi a yr. No problems with motor or battery but after 2 seasons 1 racing CES series I cracked the frame. My LBS never had this happen and they sell a lot of giant bikes and have them in their renal fleet. Replaced within 1...
There are many variables that go into that answer. I’m a sports therapist I rehab people from surgeries all tbe tkme and in general hips are a straight forward procedure and heal very well. If you go into the surgery in good shape plus or minus 5 lbs of an ideal weight and eat well you’ll...
I recommend you make a written agreement with the seller if the bikes warranty is not transferable and needs warranty work they will submit the claim therefore making the warranty good. I did it and after 2 yrs. I problems. Oh I recommend a Giant you’ll get a good deal because they are lass...
I. Been upgrading my E Reign +2 this season. Went with Diety 38 ride aluminum bars cut to 770 (I’m 5’11”) Put a 50mm stem up from a 35 I am beteeen a med/lg and went with med. much better feel. Took stack down 5mm for better cornering.
Went with MRP Hazzard with 400lb progressive spring (185lbs...
Just put a MRP Hazzard with progressive spring on my Giant e reign. I was looking for better handling over rough chunky trrrain in the mountains and I got it! Half dozen rides so far and I just made my first adjustment from what the factory set it up for. Seems like I’ll find my settings and...
