Maestro IS THE SAME AS DW. They're the same. So, what it comes down to between the glory and the sunday is geo, price, and weight. Sunday wins in geo, I believe. Rather slack, rater low. It obviously wins in weight. Price? That's all local.
Cove? Great ride, and yet again, is very similar to the other two.

ya I guess your right but I still like the way the glory feels.

my self i ride a sunday and it the best pedaling bike i have ever ridden... it fast agyle, and cornners amazing. the bike i got built up is at 38 or 39 last i checked so the bike can be built up supper light. The sunday pedals amazing as well with very very little noticable pedal bob.

I know people that ride giants and shockers, one of them is mitch who posted above, they ride very very well, i dont know much about them tech wise but they are race bread and made to be light and fast. the susspenison on the glory and sunday have similarites but are totaly differnt which is why the glory suspension is not DW-LINK.

My other buddy rocks out on the cove shocker and loves that bike, and has had no problems with the bike except getting a der hanger for it, but none the less the bike still shreds hard, and feels supper nice.

Mitch made a point of getting parts for Ironhorse being hard, well that is 100% true i know people in the comapny and they will admit that it is horibble trying to get parts, and i my self spent over 2 months waiting for some parts which led me not being able to ride.

In the end it price, glory frame only i belive is cheaper than sunday and shocker. so go out demo the bikes if you can and choose the one you like best.

sunday pedal real well on the flat but are the worst pedalling bike in the world on a dh track, even with 165mm crank arms, all u hear if you try pedaling through a remotly rough section is clunk... clunk... clunk and so on.
however they corner and flot over rock and roots amazingly well
glory, corner very well to and dont have such a big issue with pedaling on rough stuff.
an i have never ridden a shocker.

i have been ridding a sunday for almsot 3 seassons now, and have only ran into low bb height problems 3 or 4 times, and in most cases it when u land a drop and the bb has lowered due to the suspension sucking the drop up and trying to pedal, and i have 170, but it is all personal preference. but i have had no problems with crank clearence

i find it hard to belive that thos three bikes would out pedal the scythe it really is different to the old banshee stuff and is very fast and corners better than pretty much anything imo

they are all sick bikes.

i dunno about the ironhorse tho, its a good bike but something seems fishy about their future as a buisness, Ive heard some scary things are going to happen next year.
