The World Champion accepts nothing less. Danny Hart and his mechanics helped Giant develop the perfect machine for Danny’s attacking style. Handcrafted to conquer all types of DH terrain—from awe-inspiring World Cup tracks to black diamond backcountry runs—it’s smooth, fast and oozing with confidence.
The 2013 Giant Glory 0 is the same bike Danny Hart rode to victory at the 2011 UCI Downhill World Championships in Champéry, Switzerland.
A reminder of Glory’s world championship pedigree: the rainbow stripes on the toptube and headtube.
Everything about the new 2013 Giant Glory says speed. Radically shaped, FluidForm ALUXX SL tubes form a lightweight, super-strong chassis. The OverDrive steerer tube design produces razor-sharp front-end handling. The plush, always-active Maestro Suspension eats up rocks and ruts and smoothes out rough landings. Every angle and tube is meticulously engineered and tested to give Danny Hart and his teammates the edge they need. And the world champion’s rainbow stripes are a reminder of what this bike can do.
