2021 Giant Reign Advanced Pro 1 Owner Interview

Interview with a 2021 Giant Reign Advanced Pro 1 Owner (review)
Since I haven't personally ridden this sweet enduro machine I thought the better thing to do would be to get the person who has been riding it on the channel. This isn't a formal interview obviously but I always like to give you the thoughts from someone who has actually gotten to know a bike instead of just leaving it with the unboxing.
If you want all of the specs from the bike please check out the first video:

I'm waiting for my reign advanced pro 1...I've been waiting for 2 month now and it only remains one week of waiting... Both of your videos are the only ones which show properly my future bike!! THANKS :D

[@MossieRidesBikes]

I hope this week flys by for you🤗

[@patrickford9615]

Great video! I wish you could do this with some of those other bikes too. Thanks!

[@MossieRidesBikes]

I want to start doing this with bikes I don't have time to ride myself. Already planning on an anthem interview 🤗

[@armandojuan64]

I wish we had those trails here in Miami , here everything is flat and rooty . Those trails are so cool .

[@chaosengly5011]

Waiting to see Giant XTC advance 2

[@carlosmarcalo8297]

I have this bike since December 2020 and it's the best bike ever... I feel my self the fastest and confident rider ever 😁

[@toddmullis3249]

I picked up the Trance X from you guys as a do it all bike. It handles Pisgah and even our local parks just fine. However, since you are going to have two bikes I vote you go Reign. Plan to hit Beech or Sugar? Reign would be ideal there as well.

[@drewsenthused6079]

Hell. Yes. I have a few more months for my bike to get here but the wheels should be here in the next couple weeks! Ever use the Hunt/Mason adventures?

[@MossieRidesBikes]

I haven't personally used them but I have been hearing good things about Hunt!

Hello buddy! Norway here again. Seeing as you’re contemplating the Occam I thought I’d share what I’m up to with mine. I fitted two offset bushings to my M30 and with the leaverage ratio the Occam has, it slackens the head tube angle by one degree. It lowers the bb somewhat as well. I havent had issues with pedal strikes with clipless pedals due to that. But now that I put on my massive CB Stamp sz large flats (practicing manuals) I tend to get them every now and then. I’m taking my 140mm fork up to 150mm next time the postman drops by m. That ought to slacken it yet anoter half degree and at the same time rise the bb. I might take out one of the offset bushings then, but I’ll see what it feels like with 64,5 head tube angle first just for kicks. I can’t contribute much to making your decision any easier. Just that I like prefer it with the offset bushings going down rocky stuff as for now. Yeah, and I also change the stem to a short one wich makes the steering more responsive. If you have any questions I’m happy to help. Keep up the good work and all the best from that norwegian dude!

[@MossieRidesBikes]

Hey man, I'm glad you are liking the occam! I definitely have the same trajectory as you with the bike if I go that route. I definitely want to put a 150 on it for starters. I'm honestly still leaning towards the occam more than any other but that is solely due to availability 😂 I know exactly when I can have an occam and the other bikes are a mystery at this point

[@kruuuber]

That's a valid point. Things considered I'd think the same. It will be interesting to see what you end up with! There's a massive clearance between the back tire and the seat tube at bottom out, thus no problem fitting the offset bushings. They're about 20 bucks or so.

[@kruuuber]

My two peeves with the Occam are the tall seat tube making it hard to fit a long dropper, and when you grab the water bottle you are absolutely going to flick the climb switch from open to middle.

[@bikilah]

how do you compare versus giant trance x?....thanks

[@pat727321]

when will the east coast get bikes been waiting since October 2019

[@shankervelu3024]

Does it have a carbon frame?

[@barrydodson4191]

You already have an Oiz why not get a Rallion? The OIZ is great (I have a TR spec one) but the gap isn’t very big to the occam so if you are keeping the oiz maybe get something you can send harder

[@MossieRidesBikes]

If it were a normal year and I could have my way I would love to have a rallion. The reason I went with an occam or am now thinking of a reign is pricing and availability honestly. The dates for ordering bikes is crazy😅

[@jakeb1778]

How tall is Keith and what size is the reign? I am looking to buy one of these and can't decide between large and xl, I am 6'2. Thanks for the vid

[@MossieRidesBikes]

Keith is just over 6' and he is riding the large. It's hard to sit on different sizes because of the lack of inventory but I would have to initially lean towards the XL for you.

[@jakeb1778]

@@MossieRidesBikes thank you, I actually went and bought the xl today. Can't wait to ride it

[@kk4402]

How tall is Keith? His reign is a large. .?

[@markbradley6412]

I have a trance x advanced pro 29 0, i believe it is the best all round bike on the market and I got it 3k below retail price

[@tys2877]

sick bike bro I bet it rips I have a trance 29 Its a great bike

[@ryanturk4418]

occam/trance x for 1 bike oiz and reign for 2 bikes

[@Fatbikersrides]

I believe that's the first time I have seen that guy not have anything to say at the end

[@MossieRidesBikes]

I have only seen it happen a few times😂

[@tys2877]

I just bought a evil its awesome bike but my giant trace rips I love it in my opinion giant bikes aee the best value just test ride one they absoultyl rip good value

[@armandojuan64]

Is that bike an L , how tall are you and Keith ?

[@MossieRidesBikes]

I'm about 5'10 and ride a large while Keith is right over 6' and typically rides an XL

[@armandojuan64]

@@MossieRidesBikes Well , I'm 5'8" so for me what would it be a good match , an M ? I have a 2022 Trance 27.5 in aluminum on layaway and the store asked to decide the size so they can bring the bike in , they don't know anything about the color .

[@armandojuan64]

How in the world Giant came up with all those horrendous colors , did they join venture with Mazda's paint department ?

[@dereklm280]

They have been doing terrible colors for 5-6 years. It’s irritating.

[@armandojuan64]

@@dereklm280 Yes , it is .

[@david029014]

I agree I have a 2021 trance x 29er 2, horrible green glitter and gloss black paint scheme. It's the one thing i don't like about the bike.

[@kaylamoss1768]

Mention the dogs THEN your wife. I see how it is 🐶 🏡

[@MossieRidesBikes]

But you got your own mention. I had to lump the boys together 😃
