Giant Glory Advanced Bike
The Giant Glory Advanced turns the steepest, roughest descent into the best part of your day.
This is a dedicated downhill race bike for gravity riders who live for lift-served park laps and timed runs. The Glory Advanced pairs a composite front triangle with Giant's Maestro suspension to stay planted at speed, so you can point it down the fire roads and steeps of the Santa Monica Mountains and let go of the brakes.
It's right for you if:
You race downhill or session bike parks and want a purpose-built rig.
You're stepping up from a trail bike to a true gravity machine.
You want a bike that stays calm through rock gardens and big drops.
You chase podiums and PRs on the descent.
Why you'll love it:
Roughly 200mm of Maestro travel swallows hits so you hold your line and your speed.
Adjustable geometry lets you dial fit to the track.
A stiff composite chassis translates every input into control.
Hydraulic disc brakes give you late, confident stopping power.
The tech you get: an Advanced-grade composite frame, Maestro dual-suspension with around 200mm of travel, 27.5-inch wheels, hydraulic disc brakes, and a wide-range downhill drivetrain built to take abuse.

Highlights
200mm Maestro Suspension
A reengineered rear end with 200mm of travel and a 203mm Fox 40 fork up front. Point it at the gnarliest downhill track and let the bike do the heavy work.
Full Composite Frame
A lighter, race-ready carbon chassis backed by world championship pedigree. This Glory is built to win, not just survive.
Three Flip Chips
Independent adjustments for geometry, headset reach and rear dropout let you tune fit and handling to the track. Set the bike up exactly how you race.
Shimano Saint Brakes
The gold standard for downhill stopping, on 220 and 203mm rotors. All the power and heat management you need on a full DH run.
SRAM GX Eagle DH Drivetrain
A tight 1x7 gearbox range built for the demands of race speed. Simple, tough and ready to be slammed.
Mullet or Full 29
Run a 29 front with a 27.5 rear for playful cornering, or go full 29 for straight-line stability. The Assegai and Minion DHR combo bites hard either way.
