Giant Reign Advanced Pro1 2023 Review

The 2023 Giant Reign Advanced pro 1 is a serious bit of kit, something I am delighted to have had the chance to ride. It's not very often a bike as good as this comes along and without doubt it is hands down the best bike I have ridden in a long long time.

[@PedalhoundsTV]

No problem. It's a fantastic bike, you won't regret it.

Thanks for all the info I’ve just got the advanced pro 1 on the way! Very excited!

[@PedalhoundsTV]

Great stuff, seriously good bike, let me know what you think of it.

Did you keep 62.5 stroke or go to 65mm

[@PedalhoundsTV]

@@squillydog471 I used the 65 with the intention of stepping it down to 62.5, it feels fantastic with no frame issues so might just leave it as is.

[@squillydog471]

@@PedalhoundsTV doesn’t bottom out on the frame ? Have you pulled the coil off and tested ? I’m debating whether I get a 62.5 or 65

[@PedalhoundsTV]

@@squillydog471 it was the first thing I tested, plus I have a 65 on my Reign E for the 7 months with no issues.

How does it compare to your Cannondale Jekyll?

[@PedalhoundsTV]

It is way better than the Jekyll, it climbs better, the rear feels much more active, it's lighter, more nimble, I could go on, it is honestly the best bike i have ridden since my Mondraker dune XR from 2015.

@@ShutUpSceneKid69 be a perfect fit for you, one of the guys in the club is on a large at 6ft and it's perfect for him. You'll love it.

@@PedalhoundsTV with 50 mm stem ? don’t feel too small on steep twisty terrain ?…

[@PedalhoundsTV]

@@mikeborges31 45mm stem, no not at all, it feels fantastic, easily the best bike I have ridden in a long time. Going to set it up mullet this weekend and see how it feels.

[@mikeborges31]

@@PedalhoundsTV thanks a lot Because im 180 with short legs and so many people advice me to take L But wheelbases on L are soooo big

[@PedalhoundsTV]

@@mikeborges31 I tried the large and couldn't get on with it at all, as soon as I jumped on the medium I felt instantly at home. I have a 32 inseam, short body and long arms. If you can throw a leg over both sizes you will see what I mean.
