Giant Glory 27.5 (kinematics)

[@jonathangong4325]

can you please do the radon swoop 170?

[@andrextr]

+Jonathan Gong Hi, Radon Swoops are all slightly progressive / linear, and they have a very good braking performance (AR around 50%). Anti-squats around 80-90%. I have an analysis for swoop 200 which is not much different from the 170. Bye

[@jonathangong4325]

+andrextr thank you

[@andinamm2246]

Thank you very much for all these educational videos that you make I appreciate this a lot because I’m new in this area, However I can see some difference in the bottom part of suspension between system in the brands for example giant intense or niner...they use different link linkage in the bottom of the joint...with 4 bolts... Then other brands like Scott they use only two bolts in the joint in the bottom of the suspension of the rear...my question is...how relevant is this in the behavior of the rear suspension??? Because I can suppose giant rear wheel will have more linear movement...and Scott more circular...is this correcta. Thank you

Can you please do the focus Sam

[@andrextr]

+Baroness von Mummy Focus Sam works as a single pivot bike (4-bar swingarm), therefore, the anti-rise is around 90%. The anti-squats are around 100% for a 22T/24T chainring, but for a 32T chainring they drop to around 60%. The bike is slightly progressive (progressivity around 13%). When possible I will try to do the video. Bye :)

[@antrace92]

thank you. very informative, maybe next year I'll buy the 2014 model. I think its kinematics aren't so different

[@antrace92]

+simonExplorer or the old demo 8... I like both

Can you analyse a commencal dh v4

[@andrextr]

+Pedro Simoes Ola Pedro. A DH V4 é moderadamente progressiva, não tem praticamente kickback e tem um axle path muito recuado pelo que absorve melhor os impactos. Como ponto fraco, tem um anti-rise muito elevado pelo que a travagem afecta um pouco a performance da suspensão. Eu ja fiz um video sobre esta bike mas como nao tinha a certeza se a roldana da corrente era concentrica ou não com o pivot principal, decidi esconder o video. Abrç

[@pedrosimoes5686]

+andrextr . Obrigado pela rapida resposta. Tenho uma commençal DH V3 e estou a considerar trocar pela V4. Já vi o video acerca da V4(Canfield Brothers Jedi 2016) mas não tenho como comparar com a DH V3. Será possível criar uma análise da Supreme DH V3. Um abraço. Obrigado.

[@andrextr]

A vantagem da V4 é ter um axle path mais recuado e não tem kickback, e é um pouco mais progressiva (não muito mais). A V3 é mais independente na travagem (apesar de não ser perfeita).Abrç

[@pedrosimoes5686]

Obrigado

[@SintraDownhillTeam]

Great infomation, thanks!

[@BsChew46]

Do you have one for Commencal Supreme Dh V3 ?

[@andrextr]

Sorry for the late response, but DH V3 has a high anti-squat (due to the high main-pivot position), and therefore it also has a high anti-rise (~90%). The progressivity is normal for a DH bike (around 40%). Bye

[@korne7]

Thank you

[@mariocorsi7647]

+andrextr why the mount for the 2016 glory has 3 positions? how do the progresivity and suspension behavior changes on the different position? @andrextr

[@2.5boxerpowered57]

How about the Glory for Freeride DH? Big drops and jumps, no rocks or roots in the road just dust, you know, just big jumps and no obstacles, just flat surfaces. *PD: I'm 75 Kilograms*

[@andreysalamatin]

Hi, What about old Giant Glory DH (2007-2009) and next 26 version (2010+) ? Is it a lot different? How is it comparing to Iron Horse Sunday? Thanks, Andrii

maiden! :D maiden! :D maiden! :D maiden! :D maiden! :D maiden! :D maiden! :D maiden! :D maiden! :D maiden! :D maiden! :D maiden! :D p.s are you planning some videos for forks and rear ammos or any other component? for example, how idraulics works and which solutions can affect the behaviour of the system? it would be usefull for choose the right one for our needs! thanks! good job!

[@andrextr]

+frednatandj Doing videos about particular shocks and hydraulics is quite hard since brands don't share technical data and info... I can only talk about general theory... Also, I already prepared the material for a video about air shocks and the new air cans (debonair, etc), coming soon. Bye

[@frednatandj]

+andrextr thanks! have you thought to make a video of banshee darkside?

[@andrextr]

Never looked for darkside, but I already build the model for Legend some weeks ago... :)

[@frednatandj]

+andrextr sorry! seen later! ;) obviously me and lot of people would like to see every bike of in the world :D if you keep it on, you will do it! :D
