Pro Bike Check: Raewyn Morrison’s Giant Reign 1
If you wanted to see the coolest bikes on the market, the lush rainforest of New Zealand was the place to be last weekend. During practice for the Rotorua Enduro World Series we bumped into 25 year old Kiwi racer Raewyn Morrison and took the opportunity to check out her bike.
Raewyn grew up in the North Island near Wellington, and is one of many very fast Kiwis that dominated the top of the EWS rankings last weekend. After racing elite XC she switched to ‘Super D’ in 2012, and then enduro when it boomed. She stormed her way to a very impressive 11th overall in the opening round of the EWS, a solid start to her EWS campaign. We asked Raewyn what she liked about her bike, “I really like the geometry of the giant reign. Being long and low makes for a stable and confidence inspiring, yet playful bike. I also love the spec it comes with,the simplicity of 1×11 and the rockshox suspension is a dream.”
Raewyn would like to thank her sponsors Giant Bicycles New Zealand, CamelBak and WTB.
