    A Reign X should have 170mm of rear suspension and 160mm of front and quite a slack head-tube. It won't climb quite as well as a Reign, but then a Reign won't climb quite as well as a Trance etc. etc.

    good bikes and it will climb well, obviously not sure about the x as i dont have one but it wont be massively different.
