Prototype Giant Glory TR
Giant has come out with a prototype they have spent the past 1.2 hours on. It boasts some very different features than your average trail bike and some very normal things, take a look.
The new bike is very similar in strength to the standard Glory. It has dropped over a pound in weight though and that is accounted for by the Fox Float RP2 rear shock damping its 3 inches of hard bottoming travel.
And Pinkbike is not working so here are the photos:

The Bike is a very agressive bike designed for steep mountains and soft hits. It has a very long and stable wheelbase and chainstays accommodated by a slack head angle and low BB.
Wheelbase: 47 inches
Chainstays: 18.5 inches
BB Height: 11.6 inches
Head Angle: 61 degrees
Travel: 3 inches
Projected cost is free.99 and there will never be a release date.
