I REALLY like Giant’s ebikes. Price, quality and geometry really speak to me. Some things I have noticed for the last 2 years at least from Sam’s Bikes…The reviews are on point and always enjoyable to watch. The editing, the sound, quality of the video and quality of shots….2nd to none. The efforts do not go unnoticed even if not acknowledged. The content is always quality. I have thoroughly enjoyed my subscription to this channel and I always look forward to video drops. I hope 2024 is a great year for Sam’s Bikes and thank you! 🇺🇸❤
Todd your a bloody legend thanks so much for the kind words! A lot of people are happy to point out a typo or something I got wrong not many people take the time to give me a pat on the back! So thanks so much mate I really appreciate it!
I bought my first EMTB, the 2022 Giant Reign E+0 based on Sam’s review. I absolutely love it. Every ride I think how awesome it is. I can get 50 mile, 7000ft of climbing all day rides out of it or I can rinse it if I’m short on time. Slap some DHR/DHF on it and a longer dropper and it’s amazing. One of the best things I ever bought, and the cherry on the top was I got 20% off RRP.
I'm the unlucky one. My 625 battery assist me for less than 1200m and around 32km in tour/active mode. Next week I will send to the assistance for a claim. 😢 I really love this bike but I'm disappointed about range
I jus dun my first ride today on my new reign e+2 800w, i put a coil on it straight away and I'm amazed at it. Very impressed! Nice video keep up the good work guys!
This bike is a beast! I’m really considering to purchase this bike because geo, price, battery, everything… Thanks for this review Sam, you give us the information we are looking for.
I have the 2022 reign e+0, fantastic bike! I am struggling a little with pedalstrokes. Thinking about getting shorter cranks. What length do you recommend?
I got the e3 with the domain fork. I upgraded to the 2.1 damper. I wasn’t aware at first this bike has the new standard off size in headset .(larger bottom)I i could find any new zebs for sale in the new steerer size 1.8 inch. I was advised that the zeb upgrade stuff wasn’t compatible so put in a 2.1 damper and skf seals had a noticeable improvement.they are good now
I was standing between this Giant and Trek Rail, I ended up buying Trek Rail 9 but honestly I wish I bought the giant, Trek is awesome and a beast e-bike, the only problem is the rattling sound that can’t be fixed is a crazy and so annoying while downhills
Sam, i was one of the winners from your last competition, can you tell me when i will receive my prize? I emailed you in December but didn’t get a reply.
It shows that your testing the E+1 but i see its the E+0 model. What is the biggest difference of the 2024 E+1 compared to the +0 and is the new model better? Thanks
What drink bottle and cage are people putting in theirs ? without thinking I brought both online and there is very little clearance on the top tube and it makes contact on hits
@@camwells9726 absolutely loving the bike. I ride an XL and it’s so good got the suspension working sweet and I’ve never been good at jumping a bike but the reign E gives me so much confidence, I love it.
@@dukeandace2010 ok I’m about to pull the trigger on the 24 e +1 . Because I took up riding late , 50s , my skills are a bit basic and I tend to like a bike that ploughs through stuff rather than rely on me to finesse my way through if that makes sense . The large is also exactly the reach and stack height I like .
For me this is the best value enduro ebike from a bike shop yes you can some great online deals but if your buying in a bike shop this bike is killer value
When people make these comments, they don't prove what they are claiming with a list of what they recommend at this price point.. Ide like to know since you seem knowledgeable
Sorry mate, for us sometimes is difficult to make the conversion. I'm 5'8, Sam 6ft and Martín 6,2. The bike weights about 55lb. I managed to get a climbing of 6600ft, and Sam average is about 4600ft.

7000ft of elevation is just great. You have a shuttle machine
@@youssefkarmous6227 I received a new battery after sent to the assistance. Probably was damaged. Now I make more than 1500m. Sincerly I'm happy.
It’s very interesting getting different opinions from different riders!! Great video ❤
Thanks 🙏

another great review Sam! Great having a review of the Giant E Reign! as there isn’t many reviews online with this bike! 😎👌🏾
Thanks mate
@@SamsBikes how does the reign e1 compare to the focus Sam2 6.9? thanks ☺️
Nice to see riders like Pablo with long term experience on the test scene 💪
Yep 👍 Pablo is killing it doing a great job!
Such a great video! The three of you are superb when analyzing all of the bike features
Thanks mate I feel it gives a very different feel of a review because not everyone is the same
This bike is a beast! I’m really considering to purchase this bike because geo, price, battery, everything… Thanks for this review Sam, you give us the information we are looking for.
My pleasure!
Interesting to have different points of view. Great video, as always 👏🏻👏🏻
Glad you think so!
Have 2023 and love it
Value for money ✅
Fun to ride ✅
Mullet ✅
Low bottom bracket ❌
Put some short cranks on and good to go 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for the tips!
How low is it? Does not look like it should be that low from the geo chart in high setting?

@@SamsBikes Thanks!
This bike is awesome mate!!!! For sure the real deal!!
It really is bro! 😎
best bike so far. the motor feels so natural and you have full control. I woud like to see a super light reign with small battery like rotwild RE375
We agree how cool would a Reign Elite be!
@@SamsBikes yes😍
I love my 23 Reign E+3, since mine came with the domain fork, i think an upgraded fork and shock will make it even better!
Hey Brad you know you can upgrade the internal damper on the domain fork for like 250€ making it’s a zeb!
I got the e3 with the domain fork.
I upgraded to the 2.1 damper.
I wasn’t aware at first this bike has the new standard off size in headset .(larger bottom)I i could find any new zebs for sale in the new steerer size 1.8 inch.
I was advised that the zeb upgrade stuff wasn’t compatible so put in a 2.1 damper and skf seals had a noticeable improvement.they are good now
Riders I hope you like this review of the Giant Reign E+
just picked one up coming from a trance x 29er, liking it alot!
Love mine!!! ❤❤❤

Hey mate yes we are on it! My wife is getting it sorted this week! Sorry we have been crazy busy
@@SamsBikes no problem, i totally understand and thanks for the quick reply 👍

You don't believe what you're saying, there are much better bikes out there
For me this is the best value enduro ebike from a bike shop yes you can some great online deals but if your buying in a bike shop this bike is killer value
And you pay a shitload more for them. Please, inform us.
I think his point was best value not best , if you think there are better value , I’m in the market and looking , please inform me ?
