The bike even looked better in person when I saw it at The Path yesterday! Congrats, Mark. I look forward to a RR soon!

Too bad it didn't come with white Fox 40 lowers. I think that would've looked baddass.

Yes'm.

The Glory DH 8.8" travel, as opposed to the Glory Freeride 8.0".

Make sure you gut the Michelins! Otherwise they'll handle like crap!

The michelins have the most insane grip I have ever felt with any tire. Awesome if you can rail the tight corners. It feels almost impossible to drift or even lock up the rear tire even in the loosest conditions. The sidewalls are massive. The downside is that they are massively heavy. My guess would be somewhere between 1500 and 1800 grams . I'll run them until they wear out. The rubber is super soft and tacky, so it should take too long to run the tread off.

I meant to say cut not gut, whoops.

What kind of trails have you ridden them on so far? I found uncut DH24s to not hold grip well when leaned over.

They weight about 1300 grams like any other DH tires. The wheels on Glorys are boat anchors.
