Nate Riffle’s 2013 Giant Reign Six inches of aggressive Maestro Suspension for all-mountain control when you need it most. It starts with a super strong, balanced ALUXX SL aluminum frame built with confident geometry and a stiff, tapered OverDrive 2* front end. Add a 15QR thru-axle fork and reliable components for maximum control, and Reign is your ticket to mastering technical climbs and the roughest descents. (*Select models).
Nate Riffle was a pretty serious MTB competitor in the not-so-distant past. He worked his way up to the now-defunct Semi-Pro class before working his way up the ranks at Giant Bicycles where he now crushes it in the marketing department. Enjoy this “semi-pro” bike check on his 2013 Giant Reign with DIY Reverb Stealth cable routing and custom suspension graphics courtesy of RockShox. -gordo.

| Weight | How much does this bike weigh? It’s a common question, and rightly so. But the truth is, there are no industry standards for claiming bike weights—and this leads to a lot of misinformation. Variances exist based on size, frame material, finish and hardware. And as bikes get lighter, these differences become more critical. At Giant, we believe the only way to truly know the weight of any particular bike is to find out for yourself at your local retailer. |
