Introducing the Reign 2 Full Suspension Mountain Bike, the ultimate shredding machine for hard-charging terrain! With the option to rock the mullet style or go all-in on 29, this enduro ripper is made to push limits and leave the competition in the dust.
The updated suspension system eats up rocks, drops, and whatever the trail throws your way, giving you the confidence to charge ahead. And with the three-position flip chip, you can adjust all the angles to dial in your ride just right.
But that's not all! The ALUXX SL aluminum frameset has been updated to accommodate 29-inch wheels, and you can now run a "mullet" setup with a 27.5 rear wheel. This translates into a short chainstay length, a shorter reach, and geometry that can be adjusted to fit your riding style. Plus, the new Maestro suspension system delivers a whopping 160mm of rear wheel travel, mated to a 170mm fork, so you can tackle even the gnarliest trails with ease.
And let's not forget about the adjustable enduro geometry! With flip chip technology, you can switch between three settings depending on the terrain, giving you the flexibility to fine-tune handling for trail conditions, riding style, and rear-wheel size. Plus, with rear wheel options of 29 or 27.5 inches, you can choose the setup that works best for you.
So what are you waiting for? It's time to unleash your inner shredder and dominate the mountain with the Reign 2 Full Suspension Mountain Bike!
Race-bred suspension
A new Maestro rear suspension system with longer travel (160mm) was developed and tested under the extreme conditions of Enduro World Series races. The trunnion mount shock has a longer stroke (62.5mm compared to 60mm on the previous generation). And the Advanced Forged Composite upper rocker arm adds stiffness and lowers overall weight.
Adjustable enduro geometry
New flip chip technology lets you switch between three settings depending on the terrain. You can select a 63.5, 63.9 or 64.2-degree head angle and corresponding 78.3, 78.7 or 79-degree seat tube angle, resulting in a 35, 30 or 25mm bottom bracket drop (size medium) to fine-tune handling for trail conditions, riding style and rear-wheel size.
Rear wheel options
Riders can choose either a 29- or 27.5-inch rear wheel, paired with a 29-inch front wheel. The larger 29-inch option improves stability and roll-over capabilities, while the 27.5 option delivers a more agile, snappier feel. It’s a quick and easy change to adjust the bike’s handling and feel.

Weight |
The most accurate way to determine any bike’s weight is to have your local Bicycle Warehouse weigh it for you. Many brands strive to list the lowest possible weight, but in reality weight can vary based on size, finish, hardware and accessories. All our bikes are designed for best-in-class weight and ride quality. |
