How big of drop can I handle..
Well that would depend on whether you are in an outhouse or a regular bathroom.

Hey it was an open ended question what did you expect.
 
It is not about how high or how far.

It is all about where and how you land.

Are you in control at the moment of touchdown? Is it to flat or to a steep transition? Is it smooth or littered with rocks, roots and stumps?
 
Umm, can't give you an answer without knowing the elevation, air temperature, wind speed and barometric pressure? Don't forget to measure soil composition, too ... Plug in all the data and there's your answer.
 
Then why stop at at 3,000.00$ bike?

lol. Well, I am planning ahead. ;)
Skills can be gained, the bike is $3000, I want to plan ahead.
It really doesnt matter the bike though, I've seen guys drop off of houses on BMX bikes.
 
With tubes or tubeless? :D (Adding to the frivolity. Is that a real word?)
tubes isn't a word anymore. They took it out of the dictionary because everyone has gone tubeless and they don't use them in TV's anymore.
 
Where n = size of drop that the Reign can normally handle;

n + 5' = drop handling capacity, with bar ends installed

n + 10' = drop handling capacity, with bar ends installed in vertical orientation

Conclusion : Go and buy yourself a set of bar ends. Install. Dominate all local drops.
