Not at worlds, he ran a 9.5X3 shock, with modified geometry. I inspected the bike in person, on-site in Livigno.

fun fact: Dave, John and Tobler had on matching E13 world championships t-shirts. They were like the 3 musketeers coming down the course. (Tobler stole my rider list to share with some Italian bird tho...)

I would rather dw overtake me, over a lot of other people.

*On a serious note, the maestro is very nice. I can only imagine how supple it is on a coil bike.

Is he as fun as Tobler?

Is he as good at tossing my new ex-Myles Rockwell "Systeme" wheels down the stairs at our condo?
But could either of them do a shot of Bacon Bitz & vodka Dave?

hey now..lets not talk **** about it until you ride it, i think it looks beast, its just a trance or reign on steriods, the trance and reign are the same, they just added some extra inches of travel, i have a trance and love it, although when they said no bob, they lied. there is some slight bobbing while riding hard up hills

You might want to stiffen up your shock if it's air. And turn up any platform that the shock has. It really shouldn't bob.

I'm interested to see how people like the Glory. Has anyone in this thread gotten theirs yet? A few people said they had ordered one........

I've had mine for two weeks and all I can say is that its fast, stable, and floats through the rocks. I have ridden it for ~20 runs at Windrock here in Tennesse and I have not had anything harm the lower shock mount even after running our 1/2 mile rock garden. It pedals extremely well reminding me of a Trance with 2x the travel. Cornering is very quick and stable due to in part how the suspension squats into its travel as you push through turns. It handles large hits without a whimper and jumps like a champ. The bike is trouble free right out of the box except for the single-ply Kenda tires that it was speced with.
