Giant Glory Advanced - Carbon Mountain Bike - 2025 - black lava / mercury

The legend is back!

The Giant downhill racer with carbon frame and world championship experience is back, with a 200 mm revised "Maestro" rear triangle and numerous options for adjusting geometry, rider position and rear wheel size. The new model has been years in the making and is now conquering podiums everywhere.

Race-proven suspension

• The new Maestro suspension, developed over several years in collaboration with GIANT engineers and professional athletes, offers 200 mm of active travel for optimum speed during racing. The rear suspension is combined with a 203 mm travel fork for superior feel and control on the most extreme DH tracks and trails.

Perfectly adjustable

• Three flip chips provide unparalleled adjustment options. The three-position Maestro flip chip allows you to adjust the frame geometry to suit your riding style and terrain. Next, a new headset flip chip adjusts the reach so you can easily achieve the perfect position. And finally, the rear dropout flip chip allows you to adjust the overall wheelbase and ride characteristics.

Rear wheel options

• Choose between a 29-inch or 27.5-inch rear wheel. All models are delivered with a "mullet" setup, which many riders prefer. The smaller rear wheel ensures an agile riding experience and more space between the saddle and tire at the rear. If you prefer the rollover speed and stability of two 29-inch wheels, you can simply swap out the rear wheel.

Highlights of the Giant Glory Advanced - Carbon Mountain Bike

• Downhill-tuned cassette and 7-speed SRAM GX Eagle rear derailleur.
• Generous suspension travel of 200mm on the frame and 203mm on the Fox 40 Factory suspension fork.
• The main frame and rear swingarm are made of high-performance carbon.
• The handmade monocoque construction makes the bike extremely light, stiff and compliant.
• Maestro Suspension - Four strategically positioned pivot points and two linkages combine to create a single floating pivot point for the most active, efficient and independent suspension system on the trail.
• Advanced Forged Composite - The carbon fiber upper rocker is manufactured using a state-of-the-art high pressure casting process and is lighter, stiffer and stronger than aluminum.
• Flip Chip - Dropout DH - Quick and easy adjustment of the new Glory Advanced allows you to fine-tune your bike to your riding style. A two-position flip chip on the rear dropout changes chainstay length so racers can get the best performance out of the Glory Advanced depending on their riding style and terrain.
• Flip Chip - Headset - This new three-position flip chip in the headset area of the Glory Advanced allows riders to quickly adjust cockpit dimensions and geometry to suit riding style and terrain.
• Flip Chip - Maestro 3 - This all-new technology allows riders to quickly adjust geometry and choose a rear wheel size (29" or 27.5") for their riding style and terrain. The adjustment affects head tube and seat tube angle, bottom bracket height and rear wheel size using eccentric flip chip hardware located on the top link of the rear suspension.
