Glory DH, downhill race bike 2008

Maestro suspension in full effect.

Giant Glory DH
competition downhill mountain bike.

Developed by the pros, this latest edition to the Maestro family is sure to take you to the podium, or at least get you do the finish line quicker than you're used to.

This is the pinnacle of Giant's big travel, full suspension bikes. It makes full use of the capabilities and performance of the technically advanced Maestro suspension system. This is what Maestro was designed for, and what other downhill bikes want to be when they grow up. 

What makes the Glory DH really special and gives it the edge over it's competitors is not the responsive strength of the ALUXX aluminium frame, or the un-rivalled stopping power of the Hayes HFX9 hydraulic disc brakes. Nor is it the excellent RaceFace Evolve DH X-Type chainset, or even the big, beautiful, highly adjustable 8 inch travel Fox 40 RC2 forks.
The Glory stands out from the crowd through the consistant reliability of performance gained by using the Giant Maestro suspension system to full effect.

Maestro is a highly developed system, perfected in the lab and on the World Cup circuit to give the best results at high speed over all terrains.

  1. Pedaling independence. Whether coasting a berm or pedalling hard, Maestro Suspension continues to react independently of chain force.
  2. Complete suspension activity. From high-frequency trail vibrations to heavy-hitting compressions, Maestro Suspension is able to soak-up the full spectrum of impacts.
  3. Total brake independence. Whether you’re on or off the brakes, Maestro Suspension remains fully active.

The Glory DH with 8.8 inches of Maestro travel is definately the machine for hard downhill speed and split second victories.
