I've never been a fan of the current Giant models. The symmetry of their design language just puts me off. But with this new Giant Reign E+, Giant have really gone to town with the design. This is a very good looking bike. More symmetrical than their current offerings. I love it.
Really like the the new controls and looks like the new battery compartment will address some issue. Now if they would just redo the controls on my 2020 Stance e2 to rap around the handle bars like that. Giant makes some pretty good stuff and looks like they're Stepping it up again real like that it's not carbon
That is one very beautiful looking eMTB. Giant make some of the best handling bikes on the market. Let's hope they have piled all that experience into this new Reign E+. It's gonna be a winner.
Excellent review with excellent content and contribution from Giant. The development and prototype to get to the production version demonstrated that this is not an off the shelf bike, impressive. Thank you EMBN, another great vid.
Thank you very much for the video, a lot of information, that's exactly what I was looking for .. you guys are the best, hardly miss a video of you Thanks a lot for this embn 🤙🏼 Greetings from Germany

Great bike by all means. Neat new controls and display integration 😃
Nice to see EMBN finally getting back to producing some decent content. This looks like a great bike and is high up on my list so I appreciate the overview. Only downside for me is the mullet set-up but I totally get why they went down that route and it is good to get some insights on the development to back up that its not just a style choice. I could live with it. I would love to see a true grouptest where all the equivalent MY22 bikes were tested and rated using some real objective testing just like the MTB mags do.
I just picked up one of the black ones E2+ . I haven't ridden it yet but I was surprised my XL came with a 60mm stem. It has the 620wH battery with a nice Zeb out front. It will be my second Emtb and my first one with full suspension. Avalibity and price/spec was why I chose it over other Emtbs and Mtb's. I can't wait to see how it rides!
Hi Ryan, with any bike we would suggest customising/personalising the cockpit setup to suit your personal requirements. We think it's best to do this after the first couple of rides. Here is a video that may help 👉 embn.me/ECockpit - Your local bike shop can also help advise you on this
Yo por gracia del destino iba a comprar una mondraker crafty rr 2022 pero ayer por la noche empezé a ver videos e informarme sobre la giant, esta mañana llamé a mi tienda de confianza y me han dicho que la semana que viene llega una en mi talla! Sin dudarlo la he reservado! El destino la quiere para mí hahaha
@@the.notorius.conormacgrego6000 Pedí Reign E + 0. La tienda fue lo suficientemente agradable como para permitirme probarlo primero. Entonces, si no me gusta, no tendré que comprarlo. Soy un poco escéptico sobre el peso. 25,1kg talla L. Sin pedales. El Simplon Rapcon PMAX que rompí este año (cuadro de muy baja calidad) pesaba 23,5 kg. Veremos como cabalga. Soy un tipo fuerte, así que saltar "bunny hops" no debería ser un problema :).
Definitely looks nicer than their previous bikes. Very keen to know how their new motor compares to a Bosch or Shimano EP8 now that this custom Yamaha iteration matches them on torque.
I ordered mine +0 months ago, soon as I saw Josh Carlson riding Bulli. Just got an email, one is coming in March with my name on it! Can’t wait, so excited, time to retire the Commercial.
Are you still riding the 2022 reign e+0? How do you like it? Do you know whether there are some important differences between the 2022 and later reign e+ bikes? I know the later models come with 800Wh battery. But other than that, any updates that are worth considering the much more expensive 2023 or 2024 models? Thanks!
Which models did u guys order? I live in Melbourne & preordered the 0 when giant first released them. Havent heard anything yet when available but hearing whispers between early as November or out til March...
@@troydavidson9633 Hi, ordered the 0 in medium. Was lucky to have a great bike shop in Rocky and they sourced one for me. Told maybe first week in Nov, fingers crossed.
Thank God for your videos, would love to see a more in depth video on the greyp line. I'm looking to buy my first electric MTB but I live in Northern Michigan. I want be able to ride for much longer.
I like the display but as another vid suggested, it would be good if the battery indicators change white to red after 10% is drained... That way you have 10% increments not 20%...
Magnesium alloy frames are coming back, and the new alloys now in use don't catch fire. Similar weight to carbon fiber, but much lower cost. Giant might be very interested to know about that.
Having read through some german forums I‘ve learned that the motor is not as good and powerful as promoted. In practice it shows that it is not as powerful and fast especially on steep climb sections using the automatic or power mode than the Bosch CX, Brose or the Shimano EP8. Some people assume that might be an software problem. Any experiences or knowledge about this?
When will we know the price of these .? This is the first bike that im actually really keen on getting price depending, that stealth cockpit is on point 👌
Trance is a different bike with old motor, I have one for me and my son. Being told the 1 is not going to be available in USA. Still not even able to preorder the 2 or 3 yet. Wish we where getting bigger battery.
have the 2022 model and water and mud gets under the battery cover as well the motor covers. Around the battery it is constantly wet. the contacts under the plastic covers of the motor are covered in mud. I keep my bike clean and wash it after almost every ride. Use no high pressure, just a normal hose but I think it is not a good design here. My bike has still warranty so I don't worry too much but I don't like it
It’s 7 grand mate, I was thinking of getting one then I gave my head a shake and it said don’t be foolish buy a ktm motorX bike instead and save £4000 grand ..?? No brainer
I already decided I was buying this bike the day I found out about it a few months back. Until they finally arrive in the USA and I get my hands on one, I'm all about the bike porn. GIMME
Dont buy this bike. Electric probles rear hub exploded droper is crap. More time in the shop then on the trail 230km. Worst buy ever. I hate it so much!!🤬
What do you think of the new Reign E+?
I've never been a fan of the current Giant models. The symmetry of their design language just puts me off. But with this new Giant Reign E+, Giant have really gone to town with the design. This is a very good looking bike. More symmetrical than their current offerings. I love it.
Sick!
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
Looks amazing. Steep seat tube and slack headset - exactly what we’re looking for.
Keen to hear weight - guessing >25kgs with a 750wh?

Is everybody as mean to you as you are to them? That is a super-backhanded "compliment" (ie derision pretending it's not).
What a video! Thanks a million Steve!!
Only arriving in SA in the 'first quarter' next year! Looks like a great bike.

Great review, waiting for my new reign, should be in Australia in a couple of weeks.
same mate where are you? I am in central Vic.
@@dallasdrew2390 Hi, I"M in central Queensland. Hope it gets here soon as it's starting to warm up.
@@rodneyallwood1394 Im Wollongong. Waiting on arrivals. Probably be on the second shipment as I think Australia got about 20 bikes by the sound of it.

Just ordered a pro+1 can't wait, currently on Trance e pro+1 2019 ,can't wait for slacker head angle 😁😎💪
Measured the head angle on mine In the high position it 63 degrees

Great review! ❤
how is it when you hit max speed? does the motor just stop working or does it still support?
I like the display but as another vid suggested, it would be good if the battery indicators change white to red after 10% is drained... That way you have 10% increments not 20%...
These will sell fast as they can make them 💖
this bike looks amazing. when does the review come out?
Great information! Thanks

Stunning bike!
Great product video
where do I see the speed?
And can the Yamaha Motor be set to US mode (32kph) like the EP8?
Why no spring??? The SX0 and SX1 where fantastic with spring!!!
They should offer the polished silver with the orange Fox forks
which model from giant is the black one and what year of construction?
I just received my beast yesterday The black one is the Reign E+2 2022 A beast of a bike
I live in US and Giant still saying nothing about distro in States . Maybe getting 2 & 3 but might be 2 to 6 month ? Come on Giant !
I just purchased the trance x e and put a fox 36 factory on, now this bike comes out! smh
Trance is a different bike with old motor, I have one for me and my son. Being told the 1 is not going to be available in USA. Still not even able to preorder the 2 or 3 yet. Wish we where getting bigger battery.
Had to wait 3 months on mine in the uk
So pretty 😍
why are all giant e-mtb aluminium frame ?
have the 2022 model and water and mud gets under the battery cover as well the motor covers. Around the battery it is constantly wet. the contacts under the plastic covers of the motor are covered in mud. I keep my bike clean and wash it after almost every ride. Use no high pressure, just a normal hose but I think it is not a good design here. My bike has still warranty so I don't worry too much but I don't like it
Do you live in britain?
What’s the UK price?
Hi Barry, your local Giant dealer should be able to let you know pressing and availability 👍
It’s 7 grand mate, I was thinking of getting one then I gave my head a shake and it said don’t be foolish buy a ktm motorX bike instead and save £4000 grand ..?? No brainer
Trance is more interesting for me.. can't wait to see the results on a test when you'll try that 🙂
I own a 2020 top model, it's simply perfect. A dream bike!
why cant i find this one in usa?
I prefer the down tube on the prototype bike, looks smaller
is this bike made in the USA?
How much does it weigh?
More than 25kg
@@thomasgersdorf2828 Ahh it's heavier than my Megawatt then..thanks..
Grounds for divorce I recon
Im crying with my 2020 reign :/
For crying out loud, if you’re gonna do a review on any bike, you should at least have the good sense to do one which is objective.
Cool advertising.
Correct me if im wrong but its the first Giant only episode since EMBN started.
@@theveryaverageelectricmoun8879 Haha, I love your username!!
The bike you rode is an M or L size?
Seems to be a Large. The seat tube on the M looks a bit lower
Heyy
Hey!
...and the MARKETERS

What is the point of designing a bike for 'pro' riders when, you are attempting to sell them to the GP?
they kinda eluded to that when they talked about how he wasn't breaking things
It's called over-engineering and is best practice
They are some bike I just got mine yesterday
The geo looks like Pole
Dont buy this bike. Electric probles rear hub exploded droper is crap. More time in the shop then on the trail 230km. Worst buy ever. I hate it so much!!🤬
Ugly frame thank you
Ebike is Nice. ... but Boring....👎👎👎👎👎 Content.
Blah blah...
It does require intelligence to listen to people talking and relating information
Lol hater
Your comment is boring. Cheers mate.
Chainstay is too bloody long
How much does it weigh?
They said around 24.5kg
