Monday, August 21st, 2006Over at MBA they’ve got some new shots of the 2007 Giant Bikes. We’ve added them to the gallery here
“Giant axed its Faith downhill chassis for a new platform called “Glory.” The Glory dual-linkage rear end is powered by a Fox DHX damper. The 67-degree head angle is slack enough to go big, but its 17.5-inch chainstays and more pedal-friendly cockpit arrangement keep its climbing ability within acceptable limits for poking around the woods all day. The Glory freeride uses a dual-ring chainring with a roller guide and a SRAM X.O transmission. At 42.5 pounds, the Glory Freeride won’t be winning any cross-country events, but who cares? Prices start at $3500
Giant has been well known for packaging great performance with incredible value,” says Media Man Andrew Juskaitus. “This year we believe that Giant has taken a leadership role as far as technology is concerned.”
