Mainframe and rear swingarm crafted with high-performance grade raw carbon fiber and custom resin that’s custom made in Giant’s own composite factory. Handcrafted monocoque construction makes it extremely lightweight, stiff and compliant.
Glory Advanced
All Guts. All Glory.
Backed by world championship pedigree, this full composite-framed downhill flyer is back in action with 200mm of reengineered Maestro rear suspension and multiple ways to adjust geometry, rider positioning and rear wheel size. It’s all new, years in the making, coming to race podiums everywhere.
Nøglefaktorer
RACE-READY AFFJEDRING
Et nyt Maestro-bagaffjedringssystem, udviklet over flere sæsoner af World Cup-racing med Giant-ingeniører og pro-atleter, har 200 mm jævn, aktiv vandring for racevindende hastighed. Den bagerste affjedring er parret med en 203 mm frontgaffel*, der giver overlegen selvtillid og kontrol på de mest ekstreme DH-spor og stier.
ULTRA JUSTERBAR
Tre flip-chips giver hidtil uset justerbarhed. For det første lader en Maestro flip-chip med tre positioner dig vælge rammegeometri til din kørestil og terræn. Dernæst justerer en ny headset flip chip reach, så du nemt kan opnå perfekt positionering. Og endelig lader en bagerste dropout flip-chip dig justere den overordnede akselafstand og køreegenskaber.
BAGHJULS MULIGHEDER
Vælg enten et 29-tommer eller 27,5-tommer baghjul. Alle modeller kommer med en blandet hjul standardopsætning, som mange ryttere foretrækker, med det mindre baghjul, der skaber en hurtig, smidig fornemmelse og øget sadel-til-dæk-frigang bagtil. For dem, der foretrækker roll-over fart og stabiliteten af to 29-tommer hjul, kan du nemt skifte baghjulet ud.
Højdepunkter
Thoroughly reengineered from the ground up, the new Glory Advanced features a lightweight, super strong composite frame, 200mm of Maestro rear suspension (with a 203mm fork up front), and multiple flip chips to dial in geometry, rear wheel size, fit and positioning. The stock setup is a mixed wheel configuration with a 29-inch front and 27.5-inch rear, striking a perfect balance of roll-over speed and maneuverability. Riders also have the option to switch to a 29-inch rear wheel using a simple two-position flip chip on the rear dropout. The legend is back.
1
Advanced Composite
2
Maestro Suspension
Four strategically positioned pivot points and two linkages all work together to create a single floating pivot for the most active, efficient and independent suspension system on the trail.
3
Advanced Forged Composite
A state-of-the-art high-pressure molding process is used to produce the hybrid aluminum/carbon fiber upper rocker link that’s lighter, stiffer and stronger than pure aluminum.
4
Adjustable DH Geometry
Frame geometry can be adjusted between three settings to match riding style and terrain. You can select a 61.6, 62 or 62.3-degree head angle and corresponding 78.4, 78.8 or 79.1-degree seat tube angle, resulting in a 13, 8 or 3mm bottom bracket drop (size M/L).
5
Adjsutable Wheelbase
A flip chip on the rear dropout can be set to a Long or Short position to adjust the wheelbase and rear-center measurement. The Short position results in quicker, more agile handling for tight, technical terrain. The Long position extends the wheelbase for added stability on faster trails with longer straightaways and high-speed cornering.
6
Reach Adjust
A three-position flip chip at the headset lets riders quickly dial in cockpit dimensions and geometry. This modular system has two positioning chips that can be removed and swapped to achieve a Short (-5mm), Mid (0mm) or Long (+5mm) reach and fine tune the bike’s handling and rider positioning.
7
Rear Wheel Options
Riders can choose either a 29- or 27.5-inch rear wheel, paired with a 29-inch front wheel. The larger 29-inch option improves stability and roll-over capabilities, while the 27.5 option delivers a more agile, snappier feel. It’s a quick and easy change to adjust the bike’s handling and feel.
8
MegaDrive
A massive rectangular down tube and oversized top tube provide superior lateral and torsional steering precision. The precisely engineered, rectangular shaped down tube yields unprecedented steering and pedaling stiffness.
9
Giant Tubeless System
Integrated Tubeless WheelSystem and tires delivers improved efficiency, comfort and control in the most user-friendly and reliable system.
Teknologier
Advanced Composite Technology
Giant's højkvalitets carbon råmateriale med høj ydeevne bruges til at fremstille dette brugerdefinerede rammemateriale i vores egen carbonfabrik med et højt stivhed-til-vægt-forhold. Den forreste trekant af disse rammesæt er samlet og støbt som et kontinuerligt stykke i en fremstillingsproces kaldet Modificeret Monocoque Construction.
Advanced Forged Composite Technology
En avanceret højtryksstøbningsproces bruges til at fremstille komplekst formede carbonfiberkomponenter, der er lettere, stivere og stærkere end lignende komponenter fremstillet af aluminium. Denne teknologi bruges i kritiske high end dele såsom Maestro affjedring rocker-links.
Flip Chip - Maestro 3
This all-new technology allows riders to quickly adjust the geometry and choose a rear wheel size (29-inch or 27.5-inch) for their riding style and terrain. It’s available on select Maestro-equipped mountain bikes. The adjustment affects head tube and seat tube angles, bottom bracket height, and rear-wheel size using eccentric flip chip hardware located on the upper rocker arm of the rear suspension.
Flip Chip - Dropout DH
A quick and simple adjustment on the new Glory Advanced lets you fine tune your bike for the way you ride. A two-position flip chip located on the rear dropout changes the rear-center measurement so racers can get the best performance out of the bike depending on their riding style and terrain.
Flip Chip - Headset
This new three-position flip chip at the headset area of the Glory Advanced lets riders quickly fine-tune cockpit dimensions and geometry for their riding style and terrain.
Maestro Suspension Technology
Fire strategisk placerede drejepunkter og to forbindelser arbejder alle sammen for at skabe et enkelt flydende drejepunkt til det mest aktive, effektive og uafhængige affjedringssystem på sporet.
