I know I'm likely to get slightly biased opinions in this forum but....
I've got a heckler but thinking of trying a Giant Reign with their "Maestro" suspension. Anyone got any experience of both bikes to make a comparison? I'm the old school wheels on the ground type. Here in NZ I generally ride trails involving plenty of steep climbing and lots of square edged volcanic rocks poking up all over the place. And I just love that high speed rooty beech forest singletrack!
I love the "natural" solid handling of the heckler but I keep wondering if there's something I'm missing without that "virtual" pivot. Having ridden a Blur I know the heckler's not the ultimate in plush.
Just wondering really if moving from the heckler to a Reign could be the move to the "best bike I've ever had" or just a big mistake... Anyone else made the switch?
