It should be a m/m tune. Look for a little red and blue sticker.

it's a fairly high angle pivot so bushings are gonna go relatively quickly, although two months does seem a bit quick. I'd suggest upgrading to a needle bearing.

Can the Glory be used for freeride, is it any fun, or is it too slack? It seems ultra fast and stable, but less fun and playful. Not a bad thing, im just wondering. As a giant fan boy, there is no other option for DH freeride besides the Glory.

Watching Kurt Sorge, the Glory definitely changed his style. It seems like he cant get 360s down as well as he could on his old Faith, but he can throw a huge superman seatgrab better.

I thought the same thing when buying my Glory and I love it. Jumps and drop feel great on it. I use to ride a Specialized sx trail, so I was worried that a new Glory wouldn't feel as good with jumping. I have been pleasantly surprised.

Well the glory is a dh bike. It s not in the light weight division if you know what i mean. It s not a freeride or park bike. Off course everything is possible depending on the rider. But it s a good downhill machine.

I think 7" (faith) park bikes are a bit of a thing of the past. If you go to most parks, say whistler, most people ride downhill bikes, like a Glory.

What do you mean? The frame is pretty dam light. Vital MTB's 2013 Glory 0 test bike weighed in at just over 36 lbs, that's a light bike!

Yeah I had mine down to 33.5 lbs with a 36 180mm fork. I think it makes a great park bike.
