Reign E+ 2022

[gbarfoot]

Talked to a US dealer and they said they have the Reign E "MX" on order with no other info other than colors (black and green)....so I'm not sure if there will be an additional MX spec coming, or if the MX is just older naming convention....still nothing on the US site so we will see what will be available.

Do you have any information about this Fast Charger? It would be really handy to pack for multi-day rides

EnergyPak Chargers | Giant Bicycles Italia

Fast & Smart Battery Chargers for your Giant Electric Bikes

Nobody has information in Italy, not even the Giant sellers in my area

I have one that came with my 2021 Stance E+2.
6 amp, and comes with a dongle for charging the battery off the bike. A button on the unit lets you charge to 60% for battery storage.

 

[zorro77]

Yes but I'm looking for info about the FAST CHARGER 4A because it's smaller

 

[hexagon]

That motor looks a lot smaller and better integrated into the frame compared to previous version

 

[gbarfoot]

I read a line somewhere and it sounded like they worked with Yamaha to build it around the maestro suspension. And from the images of just the motor it very much looks that way. Very nicely integrated for a complex suspension that works really well (I have a levo SL also and can't help but notice how poor the suspension is compared to the giant)

 

[zorro77]

Here the code Giant

Here the Charger 4A 0.6kg instead of 6A 1.4kg

The 0 model shows no price.

 

[Dirtnvert]

Damn that +2 is a great price. Pretty much the same price as my decoy in '19. I want one. Person wouldnt have to swap out much on it either

 

[hexagon]

Reign vs Levo

(New motor integration looks on point compared to previous version on the Reign.)

 

[zorro77]

Do you think they will put a chain frame protector?

 

[Zimmerframe]

I'm quite liking this .. though the downtube concerns me a bit. It looks like it should fit a 1200wh battery compared to the Levo's 700wh.

Is there an inbuilt hydrogen powered range extender ? Parachute ? Coffee machine ? Space for a full sized tool kit, two tubes and an electric air compressor ? I can't find anything about these in the three different bike spec's. I wondered if the 630wh would have space for a cup warmer or microwave ?

 

[Zimmerframe]

I'm not understanding some of the figures .. Giant state a seat tube angle of 76.7 (L) or 77.5 (H). Compared to Focus Jam 75. Or Levo Gen3 76-77 depending which of the 6 configurations you go for. Yet in the images it looks nearly vertical in comparison ?

Seat angle figure is most likely the "effective seat tube angle", measured from the centre of the crank axle to the top of the seat tube, or to height similar to stack height. Look at the lines on the geo chart

Maybe. But if I use my phone to measure the angle on my prototype* I get 80 degrees to the seat tube clamp from crank centre and the same if I measure to the top of the dropper.

"Prototype"... I thought I was the only one crazy enough to do these kinds of things...
?

I'm waiting for a dry day so I can ride it I just don't trust paper mache frames in the rain ....

 

[Zimmerframe]

I did almost goto the Giant shop but it closes at 7 so I'd only of had a few minutes there. Wanted to ask on availability dates etc ...

Would be interesting to try/buy one. The motor looks tiny on @aja07's video when you see the mechanic handling it like an apple.

 

[jeanmarc]

I went to Giant LBS already, but slim chance of seeing this bike in real live before end of year...

Nice, wish I could make prototypes too Cr*p, now I have to try measuring the angle in GIMP.

No need to dress up in your sexy clothing ..

Lets see what you come up with ..

 

[zorro77]

Mine arrives in the last week of September ?

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

I have a test bike coming next month. Actually really like what I see so far!

Please Please Please put it on the scale and comment back
The geometry and specs look spot on, might buy one to replace my Trance E+2
Thanks!

Don't worry, he's ready. He's already got the crane lined up to get it off the lorry ..

 

[jeanmarc]

I sincerely hope it's not that bad ?

 

[Dirtnvert]

It could be a wager on the weight. Winner gets to experience a full day of giant rain.
We'll add the weight to the spreadsheet after

56.9lbs *large 625w

This whole year has been Giant Rain !

You say 56.9lbs = ~ 25.8kg , but which model ??

I'll go 25.0257 kg for he E+0 ... in Medium - Tubeless.

 

[jeanmarc]

Put me down for a hopeful
54.0 lb (24.5 kg) for the E+1, 625wh, in Medium.

Although, come to think of it, Rob will most likely get a Large or even Extra Large unit...
