I understand the saying “if it ain’t broke, why fix it” but do you reckon we will see a new Giant Glory ? 
The latest one doesn’t even take a boxxer fork which I feel stopped a lot of grass roots racers from buying one when it’s all you used to see around local races. 

A high pivot version maybe ? Alloy version that they could prototype quickly 

Maybe a new rider on the roster also a female or a new junior that’s coming up to elites ?

According to Giant's website it doesn't take 2023 or earlier Boxxers, but it doesn't explain why and I don't know enough about them to speculate on the details.

This is the frame that has had ongoing issues with damage around the head tube from fork impacts (example), so it could be related.  Looks to be incompatible with dual crown forks outright if you ask me.

Martin was Orbea, way before FMD teamed up with them.

there was a story on IG about a FMD rider forced to ride with a cracked frame for lake placid/whistler. Might be related

Got a screenshot of this? Saw a couple of pages making a joke about it but wonder who posted it originally

No, but with time you can see that 99% of what they post (UCI gary and NPC) is real information posted as a joke.

Oli zwars frame detonated in Whistler. I've seen other pics of snapped rallons. The meme accounts seemed to allude to a manager being shouty and the frames being snappy
