i've been looking all over pinkbike and decided on either the Glory or the DH team...
they both seem like nice bikes but i can't tell which one would be better for my style of riding. I do a lot of DH and some jumping and trail riding. Some suggestions would be great, thanks guys!

get the glory. you'll love the maestro suspension over the single pivot of the dh. it will petal much better and just be a better all around bike. both are nice but if you can afford the glory, go for it!

I've not ridden a DH team, but own a Glory and I can honestly say its the best downhill bike i've personally owned, but its all down to personal preference! The best thing to do is to see if you can ride both and let that help you decide! Smile

i had a dh team and it was pretty nice (only sold it cos i got offered an irresistable deal on a cove, wridden a glory once and i didnt like it, but it was too small for me so i cant really say 100%
either way im sure youll be happy, giants are good bikes

glory dh's MEDIUM are sold out in canada. last i heard a couple weeks ago. EDIT, you're not from canada...

So i ordered a Glory 0, and spec'd it similar to the Glory DH.

Darren (ajaxpowder) was peddaling a dh team around lest year. he siad that it cornered really good for a 9" travel bike outshone everything on tecky single track and it was decently lite. The only complaint i ever head was that he did not like the rear shock
