The 2023 “Reign Advanced Pro 2” from GIANT is a high-quality mountain bike that stands out for its technical features and robust construction. The price for this model is 5299 EUR.
The Reign Advanced Pro 2’s frame is made from full carbon and, thanks to the Maestro rear triangle with Flip-Chip geometry and a carbon rocker arm, offers excellent stability and flexibility. The frame also features an integrated storage compartment and offers 160 mm of travel. The maximum tyre clearance is 2.5 inches, whilst the maximum chainring size is 36T. The derailleur hanger is an SRAM UDH.
For the brakes, GIANT has opted for the Shimano BR-MT520 (4-piston) with 220 mm discs at the front and 203 mm at the rear, controlled by Shimano BL-MT501 brake levers. The drivetrain consists of the Shimano SLX M7100 Shadow+ 12-speed system with matching Shimano SLX M7100 shift levers.
Front suspension is provided by a RockShox ZEB Select fork with Charger RC damping and 170 mm of travel. At the rear, a RockShox Deluxe Select+ RT shock, measuring 205x62.5 mm and featuring TrunnionMount, ensures optimum damping and is also individually tuned.
The bike is supplied without pedals and is fitted with a Shimano PressFit bottom bracket and a Shimano SLX M7100 crankset featuring a 32T chainring and a 55 mm chainline. The cassette is a Shimano Deore M6100 with a 10–51T range.
Handling is provided by GIANT Contact TR35 handlebars with a 20 mm rise, complemented by GIANT Tactal Pro Single Lock-On grips and a GIANT Contact SL 35 stem. The rims are GIANT AM 29, tubeless-ready with an internal width of 30 mm, fitted with Maxxis Assegai 29x2.5WT tyres at the front and Maxxis Minion DHR II 29x2.4WT tyres at the rear. Both tyres are tubeless and feature the 3C MaxxTerra compound as well as EXO+ and DoubleDown protection respectively.
The hubs are RD02F / ED260-R models, and the spokes are from Sapim. The saddle is a GIANT Romero SL, mounted on a TranzX Vario seatpost with a diameter of 30.9 mm, the travel of which varies depending on frame size (S: 120–150 mm, M: 140–170 mm, L–XL: 170–200 mm).
Additional equipment includes an MRP AMG chain guide and a tubeless kit comprising fluid, valves, tyre levers, a valve core remover and instructions.
