Reign E+ 2022

[Zimmerframe]

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

It's pretty freekin huge ! But yes, probably a Large. I think a lot of the recent XL models seem to be catering for giraffe's.

No need to dress up in your sexy clothing ..

Lets see what you come up with ..

Dressing up is the fun part! Measuring the angle from an image is boring, and probably pointless Anyway,11,74* it says... So about 78* (90-11,74)

Thank god you didn't suffer some static shock catastrophe !

I've just re-measured your image and get the same, well 11.7. Does this mean my paper mache model is not accurate ? Or your image is not a true representation of reality ?

 

[Zimmerframe]

If I measure @hexagon's images :

Reign E+ 2022

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...

I get the same 80 degree (10) on the new one and 12.4 from crank centre to post top on the old one.

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.

As JM said, im thinking itll be Rob that brings the deets and his will be a large(maybe xl) and probably an upper model (0?)

 

[Healy]

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

you planning on riding this bike in FOD

 

[zorro77]

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

I ordered exactly this, E+0 size M and I think 25kg with 750 battery

I really hope that @Rob Rides EMTB tells us everything, absolutely everything about this bike, and above all I am curious to have information about this new engine, and to know how the automatic mode behaves.
Also I'm curious to know if this geometry with vertical seat tube really helps uphill, because I hope so !!

 

[Healy]

We would love a sneak peak at that. And a cheeky ride. Buy you a beer from pedals. Sheep skull ale is nice

 

[DrStupid]

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.

Can't wait to hear you opine. Maybe @Rob Rides EMTB could bring you on as a guest muppet for the review?

 

[Softsand]

Do you think they will put a chain frame protector?

Um, x2 on this ?

I‘ve put my name down for a 22 L Reign E+1 to replace my 20 L Trance E+1. Arrival Nov (AU).

A query - Trance has a 2.6 rear tyre, new Reign 2.5 - why ?

 

[Pdoz]

A query - Trance has a 2.6 rear tyre, new Reign 2.5 - why ?

Because pony tail mullets are back in style?

 

[zorro77]

A query - Trance has a 2.6 rear tyre, new Reign 2.5 - why ?

Probably because there is no DD 27.5 2.6 so...

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

Probably because there is no DD 27.5 2.6 so...

They do exist. I have one. Pretty sure OEM only though.

Minion DHR II

With side knobs borrowed from the legendary Maxxis Minion DHF, but widened to provide more support, the DHR II corners like no other tire.

Seems to have some nice changes over the previous model.
Let's hope this one can handle more than 3 drops of water

... and not brick during the first update.

what are the chances that:
A: the 750 battery will be backward compatible with 2020/2021 bikes
B: being able to buy said battery

[gbarfoot]

I'm optimistic that it will fit.

A: pretty good chance
B: No Chance

 

[Mattnzl]

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

Fantastic the pregnant/beer-gut belly has gone!
Giant back on the list as an upgrade to my '19 Trance.

ENERGYPAK 750 WH : Not compatible with Giant model year 2021 electric bikes (due to its dimensions: 1 cm longer than 500/625 Wh)

Remains to be seen if the UK will get the 750wh battery on the E+1.
So far, seems only Germany has that option, 625wh on E+1 in most other geos

I talked to local shop in US which is an actual Giant bike shop and he tells me that he only sees the 2 and 3 coming to US at this point. No 0 or 1. I dont know how official this is exactly though, but it would be a real disappointment for me.

Bizarre given that Canada is showing the 0, 1 and 2 ?

 

[zorro77]

Can you turn off handlebar control assistance on Giant bikes? on the Levo this is very convenient to save battery, assuming that this new Yamaha can be pedaled from off @Rob Rides EMTB let us know

 

[Doug Stampfer]

Yes agreed. With similar pricing to the Rail I can see it making it a tough choice between the two. I'd be interested in how you find the comparison.
