Glory Expert

Overview

The ultimate big hit freeride bike, this is not one for the faint hearted; A big bike for big trails! Using our proven Glory DH chassis as a starting point our engineers then tweaked geometry and travel, the end result being a ride that is stable on high speed descents yet equally comfortable in the air and on the tight technical freeride trails found around the globe. Up front the massive OnePoint5 steerer tube and equally massive Rockshox Totem create a menacing visual while also ensuring no flex and maximum big hit compliance. Highlights include; Avid Code brakeset, SunRingle/Mavic wheelset, Raceface Evolve DH X-type crankset and SRAM drivetrain.
