Bike vs. Bike - Yoann Barelli's Giant Reign or Adam Craig's Giant Trance 19


We ran into two of enduro racing's finest at the 2016 Giant Factory Off-Road team intro. Yoann Barelli and Adam Craig attack the trails and life with different styles, but both get the heavy lifting done. We put their bikes head-to-head for you to choose which you prefer.

  • RockShox Vivid Rear Shock, coil

  • RockShox Monarch Plus DebonAir rear shock
  • 34t chainring with his SRAM XX1 1x setup
  • Brake levers a little more "normal" but Adam is keen on Yoann's positioning and his levers are getting pretty close to parallel to the ground.

  • SRAM Roam 50 wheelset
  • "I like a high front end," AC says, hence the spacers under the stem.
