Use to own a ’17 Giant Reign 2 size L, which has similar Geo to new bike - size M...
But, it (new mule) feels more compact. Like a big BMX bike. My GR2 was more sled like, whereas this thing likes to pop & play.
Front end is a bit low, hence install of riser stem and soon to install 38mm riser bars.
Also could do with a longer dropper.
Otherwise, this thing rocks!!
Blessed it with dirt today.
