The Reign SX is a 27.5” aluminum-only version that increases downhill performance even more with the addition of a coil shock and a 180mm fork.
Giant’s Slick brake cable is pre-stretched for high responsiveness. This galvanized cable is double ended for use with road and mountain bikes and is compatible with almost all brakes. The Trance 29 is certainly capable for the amount of travel it has, but it is not by any means a Reign 29. I believe riders who constantly ride very steep, giant ROAD BIKES technical, and fast terrain will prefer more suspension and more aggressive DH-oriented geometry. Having ridden various bikes over the past, including Trance 27.5, I’d say T29 is more capable and aggressive bike when things get steep and point down. It’s got slacker head tube, more reach and longer wheelbase than it’s 27.5 variant.
The most important thing is to get the best bike frame and parts within your budget. Giant offers a lifetime warranty of frames except for downhill models . 10 years warranty for rigid forms and a one-year warranty for paint finish and decals.
