who cares if the linkage is the same? it's still an awesome bike and i'll be getting 1 when they come out. Iron horse are no-more any way so whats the big deal.
stop bitching ang go ride your bikes! x

looks like a session painted blue imo. the glory hole for me is what made giants stand out and look unique

It's not "basically a Sunday," it's still a Giant in as much as it's using a Maestro link and not a DW.

nouser (Jul 25, 2009 at 10:41)

yeah that's right, all the bikes have a rear suspencion system, and maestro link that's used on giant, has been for this company for long now, the system is still the same only the frame had a renewal and it look's sick!

are those 721's or 823's?

seraph (Jul 25, 2009 at 13:10)

721s. 823s would have the special UST spoke nipple interface.

carlmontnative (Jul 25, 2009 at 15:30)

they are dee trax, look at the top pic. you can see the dee trax design

carlmontnative (Jul 25, 2009 at 15:33) (Below Threshold)

Seraph, it is "basically a sunday". the only thing different on the linkage is the bent lower link and other specs

louis2468routier (Jul 25, 2009 at 15:41)

"Bent lower link and other specs"

Since you are obviously a suspension guru, please explain how the Sunday and the New Glory are the same?.. If you knew anything, youd know that longer and bent bottom link makes for a different leverage ratio. Please emphazise more about those "other specs you speak of though...

carlmontnative (Jul 25, 2009 at 15:51)

im talkin bout the looks, not how it works. obviously its different. anyone in the biking world should know that no two bike designs work the same. i was tryin to say that if the lower link wasnt bent and shorter, it would look like the sunday, thats all

2 0

seraph (Jul 25, 2009 at 16:13)

The Maestro and DW links are not dissimilar in that the top link on the former is a normal swingarm, not a vpp-style link like on the latter.

I've always liked Giant bikes (most models) and the new ones are sick in my opinion! Unfortunately I haven't seen them in person yet but from what I've seen so far I'm impressed!

that seat tube angle looks groose

i just rode the old glory(200

last week and loved it. could only imagine thats this is just as good of not better, and lighter!

Stenn (Jul 25, 2009 at 11:01)

It looked nicer with the spring inside the frame...

i prefer the old ones

csucsnowman (Jul 25, 2009 at 14:08)

the older prototype '10 glory had much better lines on the frame, not digging how the top tube is super narrow and kinked like that.

2 1

matlem (Jul 25, 2009 at 14:44)

i`ve got an 09 glory and will be ordering one of these as soon as they come out. A lighter framed glory has to be a good thing.

cratagus (Jul 25, 2009 at 15:50)

i like the new design, however not to sure what to think about the cable routing. looks like having both cables hanging under the BB could be waiting for disaster

1 0

ride2liveordie (Jul 25, 2009 at 15:45)

Damn, .8 inches off sounds better, and looks lighter than my 09 giant glory dh.

Stenn (Jul 25, 2009 at 11:01)

the shape of the frame is nice though

smeckma (Jul 25, 2009 at 17:47)

How could anybody possibly argue against something like this? I am starting to hold Giant in high esteem I am.

1 0

johnmcisaac (Jul 25, 2009 at 21:11)

they use to have an 8 in. and an 8.8 inch so is there just the one frame now does any one really know?

Well, it was too good to be true. Now a moment of silence for the dying glory.

the geo looks retarded.

stryke (Jul 26, 2009 at 11:27)

it is a little lower and a little slacker then previous glorys

whats retarded about that?

1 0

Whoinventeduphill (Jul 26, 2009 at 12:42)

the headtube angle just looks wrong in the photos. seems a little steep.

1 0

stryke (Jul 26, 2009 at 12:46)

its because of the angle of the downtube what makes it look strange, the geo is perfect

1 0

Whoinventeduphill (Jul 26, 2009 at 15:00)

i wouldnt know, havent ridden one. i'm not sure if you know how it feels, but if you think its perfect, sweet. you're right, it is the downtube. makes it look weird i like long, low, super slacked out bikes.

2 0

stryke (Jul 27, 2009 at 1:22)

thats why you rode a supreme dh?

Whoinventeduphill (Jul 27, 2009 at 13:38)
