Giant Glory Advanced 0 27.5" 2015

The Holy Grail of Gravity

Giant's Glory Advanced is a race ready downhill machine. The frame is comprised of a carbon and aluminum composite for optimal strength and stiffness. It's also one of the lightest long travel bikes on the market. It features 200mm of travel with Giant's patented Maestro suspension. Giant designed this downhill frame around bigger 27.5" wheels, but still managed to keep the bottom bracket low, and the chainstay short, making the bike very maneuverable. The slack 63 degree headtube angle gives the bike proper handling at high speeds. Giant covered all the bases with this bike: it's light, it's strong, and it handles like nothing else. It's no wonder the Giant Factory Off-Road Team braves the slopes of the UCI World Cup courses on this steed.

The Glory Advanced composite frame is the result of Giant's tireless engineering. They have spent years determining how to build a DH frame that's light and strong. By determining where the stress points are, and how to combine the use of carbon fiber and aluminum, Giant raised the bar in light weight structural integrity. With an uncompromising and sleek design, the Glory Advanced 0 is a bike that rides as smooth as it looks.

The 0's suspension technology is provided by RockShox, with a Boxxer Team in front and a Vivid R2C in the rear. The wheelset is comprised of stiff and light DT Swiss rims and hubs. Schwable Magic Mary tires provide awesome traction and super low rotating weight. The drivetrain consists of the SRAM X01 DH group, with a 10-24T 7-speed cassette. The bike also features SRAM's X01 DH Carbon crankset, just like Giant's Factory Team runs. The FIzik Tundra M3 saddle is comfortable and sleek. In the cockpit you'll find Giant Contact Carbon SLR bars with Giant lock-on grips and a direct mount Truvativ stem. The Glory Advanced 0 is built with the most elite parts on the market to give riders a unique high performance riding experience.
