GIANT Reign Advanced E+ 1
With the in-house Syncdrive drive, Giant has a personalised touch. The system also shines with smart networking, including theft protection and tyre pressure sensors. Off-road, the Reign is really powerful, tracks well and rides safely. It can't quite keep up when it comes to playfulness; sporty, fast enduro lines are more its thing.
