Thats the melodramatic version of it.There’s been a thread just like this, you might get more info out of that, search and it might pop up.
The orange is a very different frame to the glory, the glory is more of a plough and not pick lines bike, where as the 223 skips over obstacle and likes to go fast, real fast. It all depends on your riding style, the oranges can be tricky to ride if you don’t know how too, they have a lot of brake jack so you need to brake at the right times instead of whenever you feel like it. If you want more of an all round bike, go the glory. If you want a faster dh specific bike, go the 223.
Hope this helped.
what problem did you have with your glory that you needed warrenty?What ^^^He^^^ said.
But I'd still reccomend a 223 over a glory because in my PERSONAL experience the warranty for the glory is on paper only and in my experience they're not out to look after their customers.
100% Orange.
Giant sucks.

I cant find the pictures anywhere, but my glory had a problem where a cross brace on the top of the rear triangle would hit the seat tube at full bottom out, It caused a small ding in the metal.what problem did you have with your glory that you needed warrenty?
havnt been many glorys that need warrenty in my experience, theyre a burly frame and arnt prone to failure in any way. they eat terrain, theyre fast, but you pay a weight penalty. orange singlepivot / giant maestro is a purely personal preference argument, in respect to suspension design. both are proven to work unreal.
after the amount of failures in oranges, i feel safer on a glory.
