'12 Giant

Giant has redefined "all mountain" with their long-travel, burly Reign X0. Sporting 171mm of Maestro-equipped travel, the Reign tackles heavy hits, high-speed chunder and epic descents with equal dexterity. Up front, Fox's awesome 160mm TALAS fork features full tunability and adjustable travel; crank it down to climb, then open it up for the downhills. Speaking of downhill, you'll love the awesome control of Avid's Elixir discs, fat Maxxis Minions, and the stout DT Swiss wheels that are dependably rugged and ready to hold your line through the ugliest corners. And, the Reign's spec wants to charge with a SRAM X9/X0 2x10 drivetrain and carbon cranks. Last, but certainly not least, the Switch dropper seatpost allows on-the-fly saddle height adjustments.
