They’d rather not get sued.They almost needed to do a Stumpjumper style press release/launch where they make fun of themselves for proprietary standards, naming conventions etc...but Specialized beat them to it, so it'd just look like copying!!
For the record I still love my Reign0, but even I think that is an ugly bike. That X I mean...Giant can eat a bag of dicks.
PB comment section is up to its usual standard of amusement.
Hahahaha!!!!Yeah, I just had a chance to have a look. Poor old previous Trance 29er is getting it's arse kicked, AGAIN!!!
They're so late to the party on this, and really shot themselves in the foot with their previous stance.

Like the shimano of the frame world.Late to the game yes, but they are some pretty progressive geo numbers for a big brand manufacturer.. Looks nice as well..
Giant have never been a forerunner brand in mtb always a few years behind..
Dont jinx itI'm just surprised Giant hasn't come out with their own 28.25" standard*.
*The 28.25" standard is (C) db_Is_Me and may not be used by any manufacturer. Don't go getting any ideas, you muppet companies.
Ever since the AU$ weakened against the US$ Giant lost that big gap in price competitiveness.. It’s hard to now justify paying the same price for a eveywhere name brand and an intense as you point out.Unfortunately, Giant's are no longer the awesome value proposition they once were but the Maestro suspension is really a winner.
Fuck yes! Don't get me wrong, I love my SAM but having to constantly flick the climb switch is making me feel better about making it the third wheel when the Pole love-in starts. The uninvited bobbing motion unde power is the same on every faux/four/horst/lawwil I've swung a leg over.@SummitFever Do dual linkage systems really pedal any better than a Horst, Faux Bar, Single Pivot, DELTA, ABP style design with the pivot points in the right spot?
It is amusing and no wonder folks get a little bit jaded. Anyhow, the marketing folks came up with this one. Surely everyone other 29'er company figured out how to make a a working 29'er with last years caveman suspension tech. At least the new 29'er Trance doesn't look like a hat full of arseholes like the previous one.Yeah, I just had a chance to have a look.

I'm with you my Lord. No matter all the stuff Pinkbike and every other mag throws into the mix, My experience with Maestro, with my 16Reign 0, is it is a very efficient system. I'm quite amazed at how well it climbs for a 160mm travel bike. I never take the rear end out of "open" unless I'm doing a road section. But I am a pauper that has to make do with one bike as a do all....@Oddjob
Not to mention less pedal feedback. Atleast comparing the 2015 reign and 2017 trance to my scout, which is fsr. Both remained active under pedalling better.
