I ride the Glory and it deffinetly wouldn't hold you back. It's heavy though but feels light when its under you.

glory is pretty much the best all round dh bike, its way more solid than a 951 and pretty much the same weight, only thing holind it back is the geo, which isn't realy even that bad. heres mine.

You got that fresh out of the showroom- wow. My shop mechanic just got one- those are nice bikes. All current most wanted DH rigs are pretty nice.

I was contemplating these axact same three bikes. I went with the 2010 Glory cause from the moment I sat on it it just felt right. People have been slagging it due to the "steep" head angle but I personally like the fact the I can turn it quickly through the trees. It's not a lazy beast. Pedals amazingly well and simply eats the bumps. I got the Glory 01 as a frame but put in an Elka shock and it's incredible! Second choice would have been the revolt.

I got the Elka- its the most amazing shock ever. So much control on adustments. Its amazing.

the weight depends on how much your willing to spend. its easy to lose weight, but very expensive. and it prob wont make you a better rider. a good rider can be fast on any of these bikes. go with the best deal money wise. cause yuor gonna want to change things as you progress and or break things. set up of "your" bike is more important than the brand. your comfort level will produce confidence and as you progress youll learn what to do with a light bike. you wont rip off cambers on a bike thats not set up for you, even if it costs 8k and weighs 35lbs lead with your head not your wallet! good luck

Your 14 and 160 cm (5ft 2)? How much do you weigh? You shouldn't get the glory if want to be able to stand over your bike or be able to throw it around. The 951 has a much lower stand over and can be built up a little lighter than the Glory. Check out the Spec Demo 8 in a xs. This bike fits your size better so you can progress faster.
