Product Description
The harder the course, the better says two-time U.S. DH Champ Duncan Riffle. Same goes for his bike, the Giant Glory. With 8 inches of fully active Maestro suspension, mated to a lightweight, super strong ALUXX SL via a co-pivot shock mount, it’s everything Duncan-and you-need to boost your confidence in the most extreme DH conditions.

Strengths: Overall strength, maneuverability, jumps well, can handle some pretty big hits, looks great.Weaknesses: a little heavy and some of the stock parts are crap (Sram x5)Bottom Line: Great bike, fun to screw around on, a little difficult to maneuver in the air but that changes after getting used to the bike! Some good and bad parts but that an easy fix! Great for freeriders and downhillers alike.

from Lisboa, PortugalDate Reviewed: February 22, 2009
Strengths: looks
strenght
suspension efficiency
maneuvrability
stability at high speeds
2 plate chain guide, the chain never slipped
Race Face components
Weaknesses: Weight
the saddle ( giant stock one )
The brakes could be more powerful (hayes stroker ryde )
The Marzocchi rocco r shock
Bottom Line: I am loving this bike its really plush even with a 500lbs spring ( I weight 55kg ) it pedals uphill quite well, all you need is strenght in your legs!
In spite of the weight it is really maneuvrabel and short, so it's very easy to handle it. It's a natural jumper and will huck everything you'll throw it at!
I would buy it all over again!
