Giant Glory 27.5 1 review

Jan 2016 · Jake Ireland

Even this ‘basic’ Glory is a race ready DH machine – one of the best frames of the moment, shod with solid, reliable parts. Buy if you're a thrifty downhiller in the market for a supremely capable rig

Highs
  • Superb frame, terrain-gobbling capability, quietly impressive build

Lows
  • Basic boxxer fork could use an upgrade
