Giant Friday or Saturday then:huh:I hear its better than the Sunday
will it come with 32 pieces of flair?Giant "somebody's got a case of the Mondays"
Completely agree, i had both, on the 08 glory now, and it rides completely different, but just as good. Just depends if u like it the M way or the DW way..I have a 2008 glory.
It rips! It feels like a tank when rolling through boulder sections or steep drops and chutes.
They low center of weight keeps the bike very flickable.
The new version looks to shed some weight(like the Reigns) but to say they are ripping off a sunday is a far stretch.
Maestro is a DW type system but the two versions ride night and day different.
saw that earlier...
The mount looks the same as a DW, with the lower shock mount being at the front pivot of the lower link.QUOTE]
that's how the new Trance is also.
That is Oscar Saiz's bike and he has used those seats for years and he rides for Giant and BOS.What is it with the freakin seats that they put on their prototypes? I remember seeing some other Giant prototype a while ago, and it had exactly the same strange looking seat.
Ok, for real though, serious question...hmmmm spec'd with a BOS on the back end... and I remember reading the other day that BOS is offering a model of their rear damper specifically tuned for DW-link bikes....
Its the compression ratio of the shock (i2i & stroke) as the suspension cycles through its travel that determines how a shock needs to be tuned. Wheel path has doesn't directly affect compression ratio.Ok, for real though, serious question...
I know the DW-Link and VPP bikes, FSR etc... all have different patenents. Doesn't suspension's designs wheel path's vary? Like, isn't a shock tuned to a bikes wheel path? I'm a little confused. Thanks.
eleventy billion dollars.so....being a glory so much cheaper than a sunday right now....let's e-spectulate about this new glorious monday-frame's price tag.
considering the new norco team Dh will be 7100 and the sunday WC was 6999 this year, id say for the complete around 6000-6300 depending on specsso....being a glory so much cheaper than a sunday right now....let's e-spectulate about this new glorious monday-frame's price tag.
looks like giant is not the one the dw link will be going to. bummer for dw. If it was dw I would be buying one instead of a jedi next year, as its not, even if its an exact duplicate of dw, I wont be buying one, dw looks like he's getting railed.Unfortunately this is not a licensed dw-link bike, and I had nothing to do with the design.
As this point it's gotten blatant and ridiculous. It's certainly not fair, but what in life is. We have to keep believing that the system does what it is supposed to and things are righted eventually. I'm a firm believer in karma, so..
..he raises them for there pelts.I read somewhere that the owner of Giant gives millions$ to kids and puppies.
As far as the MRP guide on that bike, that bike belongs to a rider, the rider is probably sponsored by MRP and forbidden from using anything else. I'm sure a company test bike would have an e.13 guide on it if in fact there is some connection between DW and Giant.yeah, you guys are really onto something....first off......
they had to change their first glory because it infringed upon DW link patents back in the day....i know a gay dude that rides one of the original prototypes......
second....if they were working with dave wouldn't they be running a different brand of guide????? come on guys?....i'm not ruling it out but i doubt this is going to be the new dw.link licsencee
maestro was always a dw link knock off....i doubt they are going to give dave credit(and money) and rebrand their entire FS line.....
