Suspension Settings and Recommendations
Glory with Maestro
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
Freeriding: .75" (19.0mm)
9.5" (240mm)
Downhill: .90" (22.8mm)
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.
