Giant Glory Advanced Mountain Bike 2024

The latest version of the Glory Advanced has been completely reworked with a focus on improved performance and a highly durable composite frame. The bike boasts a Maestro rear suspension system with 200mm of travel and a 203mm fork at the front. With the ability to adjust the geometry, rear wheel size, and fit, riders can customize their setup using the multiple flip chips. The standard configuration features a mix of 29-inch and 27.5-inch wheels, providing a great balance of speed and maneuverability. Additionally, riders can easily switch to a 29-inch rear wheel by utilizing the two-position flip chip on the rear dropout. The legend continues.

Crafted through collaboration with Giant engineers and professional athletes across numerous World Cup racing seasons, the Maestro rear suspension system features a 200mm active travel for unbeatable speed and performance. With a 203mm travel fork, this configuration offers unparalleled control and confidence on the toughest DH courses and trails. The innovative three-position Maestro flip chip allows for personalized frame geometry to suit your riding style and terrain, while a new headset flip chip enables effortless reach adjustment for optimal positioning. Additionally, a rear dropout flip chip allows for customization of the wheelbase and handling dynamics.

Choose between a 29-inch or 27.5-inch rear wheel. All versions include a mixed wheel “mullet” stock setup, which is favored by many racers for its snappy, agile handling and improved clearance between the saddle and tire in the rear. For those who prioritize rollover speed and stability with two 29-inch wheels, the rear wheel can be easily exchanged.
