Giant has the new geometry specs in their literature, but for some reason, they didn't include the BB heights of any of the new bikes. Does anyone have the BB height of the new Reign?
The BB drop is listed the same as the VT. I'd guess the height is about around 13+?k1dude said:Giant has the new geometry specs in their literature, but for some reason, they didn't include the BB heights of any of the new bikes. Does anyone have the BB height of the new Reign?
So the Reign and VT have the same geo while the NRS and Trance have the same geo? I guess i could always check at work tomorrow but i'm lazy. Trance 1 at EP...hmmJwiffle said:The BB drop is listed the same as the VT. I'd guess the height is about around 13+?
The geometries are not the same, especially between teh NRS and Trance. Slacker head tube angle and steeper seat tube angle on the Trance. Half inch difference in BB drop - 0.9 for NRS, 0.4 for Trance, other differences as well. Longer chainstays on Trance. Trance isn't set up as much for racing. Some differences between VT and Reign as well, but probably not as noticeable since they are similar type bikes with the Reign replacing the VT, while NRS and Trance are billed differently- the NRS as a race bike, the Trance as an epic XC bike.TheSherpa said:So the Reign and VT have the same geo while the NRS and Trance have the same geo?

Shiat. I'll have to crunch some numbers tomorrow to see if i'm going to need an 18" or 20" at 5'11". Hmm, anyone have geo numbers?Jwiffle said:The geometries are not the same, especially between teh NRS and Trance. Slacker head tube angle and steeper seat tube angle on the Trance.

...I'd think you'd fit on an 18" at 5'11". I noticed the top tube is 23.2" on the 18". That's the same as a large Blur (23.3"). I'm 6'0" and I fit a large Blur. So without an actual bike to size, I'm guessing I'd use an 18" Reign or Trance.TheSherpa said:Shiat. I'll have to crunch some numbers tomorrow to see if i'm going to need an 18" or 20" at 5'11".

where did you find these specs, because i can't find it on their website?k1dude said:Giant has the new geometry specs in their literature, but for some reason, they didn't include the BB heights of any of the new bikes. Does anyone have the BB height of the new Reign?
I'm on an XL Blur right now and its def. too big. I need to run a short stem.k1dude said:...I'd think you'd fit on an 18" at 5'11". I noticed the top tube is 23.2" on the 18".

they're in the catalog. yeah, I don't see them on the website, either. Here's specs from the catatlog:mtic said:where did you find these specs, because i can't find it on their website?
Yeah, me too! I'm on the east coast; Giant has told me first week of December. Can't wait! I'm gonna ride it like crazy, i don't care how cold!mtic said:thanks!
i'm also 185cm tall and i'm looking for 20' frame of Reign. so when you get (i hope this will be soon ) , tell me how it rides...
