Hello, i would like to have more information about the rear wheel. It's written "12 mm" and the width ? 135 or 142 mm ?

You're probably the first person who present this bike on internet, nobody else have this bike ?

Thanks.

I answer to myself, i receive mine 3 days ago, and it's an 135 mm hub.

Bye.

Can you give us a ride review when you get a chance?

Would be curious to find out if the MagicLink is as magical as they make it out to be in the press releases.

Yes indeed it magical! I have spent time on these bikes, and I can say that they are a bunch of fun to ride... Not for the faint hearted though. If you want an aggressive, playful steed, you are on the right path. These bikes rock!

Ride it hard, and give her heaps!

I had previously bought a 2010 Kona Coilair and was extremely dissapointed... I guess this is a personal thing however jus didnt feel at home with it...

Sold it for half the price I paid for and bought a Reign X1... Couldnt be happier

Sorry for the late, i choose an 18" frame size and i'm 6 foot tall (1m83) i wanted a bike for everything. I live in the french alps so during the inter seasons (may-june) i want a bike to climb (a little bit) and ride AM single tracks. During the summer season (july-august) i ride resort so more freeride and light DH.
In 18" size the wheelbase is long (1194 mm) a bit longer than my last Dh bike, i wonder if an 16" should be ok, i think but it's too late ;)

For Kramer : i rode AM and i was very surprise by the system, the bike doesn't pump at all and works perfectly in the downhill.

I change the stem for a short one, Sunline DH 40 mm instead of the Kona 60 mm. The handlebar too for an Spank 777 (i had on my dh bike) and a set of Mavic Deemax.
I don't know if the Easton vice wheelset are strong i don't know them, they look like i will see but i put Deemax on because i always rode them before.

I will put picture of it next time.

Bye
