Your advantages at a glance

✅ 200 MM Maestro suspension for maximum traction and speed
✅ 203 MM suspension fork for uncompromising control on any terrain
✅ Three flip chip systems for perfect adaptation to driving style and track
✅ Optional 27.5 or 29 rear wheel for optimal handling (delivery mullet setup with 27.5” rear wheel)
✅ Advanced DH- components for highest performance
✅ World Champion Proven Geometry - Ready for Any Downhill Run
3 compartment Flip-Chip System - Maximum customization for any terrain
The Giant Glory Advanced offers three independent flip-chip systems with which you can tailor geometry, driving position and handling exactly to your style:
✅ Maestro Flip Chip (Suspension Bottom Bracket Height):
Choose from three positions to change the frame geometry, the steering angle and the bottom bracket height. This allows you to perfectly tune your chassis for steep, fast downhills or technical, winding trails.
✅ Headset Flip Chip (Reach Steering Feel):
You can extend or shorten the reach by several millimeters using the adjustable headset. So you decide whether you prefer more agile or more stable handling - ideal for drivers who want to adapt their setup with millimeter precision.
✅ Failing Flip-Chip (wheelbase rear geometry):
With this flip chip you can extend or shorten the wheelbase. A longer setting ensures smooth running at high speed, the shorter one for more agility and spontaneous steering on technical routes.
Result: Three systems – countless possibilities. Whether you’re chasing on World Cup tracks or shredded in the bike park, the Glory Advanced adapts to your premises.
