The Glory is a new Downhill bike equipped with the Maestro suspension system.

It inherits all the excellences of Maestro suspension technology and is tuned

and polished to be the most efficient downhill dominator. The Glory is enhanced

in a generous way with better traction, steering, rigidity and acceleration, at the

same time, no braking influence, pedaling kickback and bobbing, giving a great

hand pushing the rider onto the podium.

Please read this service manual carefully. Improper assembly of the rear

shock, triangle, triangle link, rocker arm or malfunction of the suspension

system can be extremely hazardous, and may lead to an accident

causing injury or death.

COIL SHOCK SET-UP

All coil shock-equipped Giant bicycles use the same formula to determine “sag”

and “rebound damping”.

Please refer to the manufacturer’s technical information for specific

details regarding shock function and set-up prior to riding Giant bicycle.

SETTING AND ADJUSTING SAG

1. Turn the spring’s tension collar counter clockwise until there is minimal

tension on the spring.

2. With a felt-tip marker, place a dot on the edge of the collar so you can

measure full rotations of the shock collar.

3. With no load on the bike, measure the distance between the two fixing bolts

(eye-to-eye distance) at the top and bottom of the shock.

4. Position your bicycle next to a wall so that you can sit on the bike with both

feet on the pedals while steadying yourself with one arm. Gently sit on the

saddle without bouncing. Have a partner measure the eye-to-eye distance

while the rider is seated on the bike. Dismount gently.

5. Subtract the weighted eye-to-eye distance from the un-weighted eye-to-eye

distance to determine sag. See Sag Recommendations charts for sag

distances. For your convenience, compressed shock measurements have

been provided.

6. For general purpose riding, the shock should compress approximately one

quarter of its travel. Turn the shock’s tension collar clockwise to increase spring

tension/decrease shock sag.

7. If you sit on the bike with minimal tension on the spring and there is less than

one quarter shock travel, a lighter weight spring is needed. If you turn the shock

tension collar three turns and the shock compresses more than a quarter of the

shock’s travel, a heavier spring is needed.

Never tighten the spring tension collar past three turns from minimum

tension as doing so can cause damage to the spring and internal

workings of the shock.

Suspension Settings and Recommendations

Glory with Maestro



(8.8" rear suspension travel)

Giant’s Maestro rear suspension design precisely positions the pivots and

linkages to give you efficient pedaling and small bump compliance. Maestro’s

pivot placement allows the rear suspension to be completely active under

braking, allowing the rear wheel to react constantly to the terrain.

Maestro-equipped mountain bikes rely on rear suspension “sag”. Sag is a

critical performance component and is relative to the individual rider’s weight.

Giant’s Glory frame designs and travel is intended for aggressive freeriding and

recreational/competitive downhill riding. The sag range can accommodate a

wide variety of riding styles and terrain.

GLORY Sag Recommendations

The Giant Glory are downhill-specific bicycles made for both recreational and

competitive downhill riding and extreme freeriding. The multi-tunable shock can

be almost infinitely adjusted for all types of terrain and riding styles.

Glory Sag Recommendation:

EYE-TO-EYE

SAG COMPRESSED SHOCK LENGTH

9.5” (240mm)

Freeriding: .75” (19.0mm)

Downhill: .90” (22.8mm)

8.75” (211.0mm)

8.6” (217.2mm)

For Manitou 6-Way coil shock tuning set-up (high-speed and low speed

compression damping, SPV pressure and volume), please refer to shock

manufacturer’s technical manual.

NOTE: These settings must be made prior to standard sag and rebound

damping settings.

SETTING AND ADJUSTING REBOUND DAMPING

1. If you are unfamiliar with rebound damping, perform this procedure: With full

body weight, push down on the saddle forcefully to compress the shock. Watch

(and feel) how the shock rebounds from compression.

2. Next, turn the rebound damping knob clockwise until it stops and compress

the shock under full body weight. Note that the shock rebounds very slowly.

Next, turn the damping knob counterclockwise a few turns and re-perform your

compression testing until the shock rebounds just slightly more slowly than with

no damping.

3. To check the rebound damping rate while riding, ride off a curb while seated.

The rear suspension should bounce only once upon rebound (the heavier the

rider, the more damping will be required). Adjust accordingly to accomplish this

motion. If the suspension bounces more than once, turn the damping knob in

the appropriate direction until one bounce is achieved.

FRONT SUSPENSION TRAVEL & SAG GUIDE

To determine bike’s front suspension travel adjustments and

recommended settings, please refer to the fork manufacturer’s technical

manual.

A suspension fork is effective at both absorbing bump forces and helping the

tire track the ground for improved traction and braking control.

When in active mode, a fork will rely on sag to keep the front tire in better

contact with the ground during braking. The chart should be used as a general

guideline.

AIR SPRUNG FORKS

As a general guide, pump the main chamber (main spring) to a psi equal to 70%

of your body weight. Ride off a curb or similar object. If there is little or no

movement from the fork, decrease psi in 10-psi increments until desired

movement is achieved. If the fork bottoms out, increase the psi in 10-psi

increments until desired movement is achieved.

To check rebound, turn the rebound damping knob (if applicable) counter

clockwise until it stops. With full body weight, push down on the fork forcefully

with the front brake on, watch (and feel) how the fork rebounds. Turn the

rebound damping knob clockwise until the fork rebounds slightly slower than

with no damping (the heavier the rider, the more damping will be required).

SPRING AND ELASTOMER SPRUNG FORKS

Springs on these types of forks are set at the factory. Most have a simple

adjuster that allows the rider to make the fork firmer or softer depending on rider

weight. The heavier the rider, the firmer the spring setting should be.

*Manitou Forks with SPV may not sag upon initial rider weight. To check sag on

an SPV fork, inflate the main spring cartridge to 70% of rider’s weight, and the

SPV cartridge to 30% of rider’s weight (check the manufacturer’s technical info

for details).
