Been on mine since June 2016. Overall this bike has been AWESOME. I mostly ride in the desert southwest (U.S.), Phoenix mountains, Sedona, thereabouts. Works great, the Fox suspension is over the top cool, especially the Talus Fork feature, the bike climbs like a mountain goat and the downhill bomb runs are handled with ease. the only complaint is the Sram Guide brakes. Junk IMO! I had to warranty them twice in two months for the master cylinder pistons locking up. The local shop mechanic gave me all sorts of excuses why, from some Sram upgraded part, to it, "being too hot in Arizona and the parts in the master cylinder expanding too much and locking up." I finally got fed up with them and replaced them with Shimano XT's. Never looked back. The Sram 1x11 is flawless and I love it (coming from a 2x9). Would I buy it again? Hell yea, but Sram needs to get their shit together on their crappy brakes!

come on! review the peoples version of it! this is a $4500 bike
-
so this is a better choice over the Reign 2
-
It has 160mm in the front not 140mm
-
do you guys recommend getting a trance 3(it's WAY cheaper) and swapping a 160 mm fork and swap out the narrow bars and long stem ? +BikeRadar
-
Specialised? or Giant ?
-
They would sell allot more of these with a better color scheme.
-
what's the begin song ?
-
I went with the trance 27.5 1 2016 love it great bike for all round use..👍🏻😀
-
Love this bike. Would be a great buy if you ride predominantly UK trail centres, where you do a bit of everything. Always get a classy frame and decent kit from Giant too.
-
Why isnt the Giant Reign a contender?..That bike rips so hard, love mine😋
-
140 rear and 160/140 mm adjustable front travel. The presenter got it wrong.
-
I like Guy. Proper rider, no fuss.
-
Like your videos but the hand talking is distracting!
-
Still can't decide, Trance Adv 1 or Devinci Troy RS. blehhhh
-
The Trance sx is 160mm to 160mm talas I'v got the Trance advanced which is 140mm
-
What's up with the extra long dropper cable?
-
amazing bike. I don't like its handlebar, 800mm is too big and I don't like its shape. (would be worst if cut). Stem 20mm too long. Best fork ever ridden. Don't think of this bike like a xc-trail bike, it's definitely an enduro. Can't sait summer to test it on my favorite trails and bikepark
-
why is the cable housing so long?
4m 21sLenght
