    What sort of riding do you want to do? The Demo and Glory are all out downhill race bikes but the Slash is an all mountain bike.
    Glory and Demo take a specific type of rider to get the best from the. I found that the Demo has an unusual feel to the rear suspension and a lot of weight at the back but work well when ridden fast.
    The Glory has slightly unusual geometry but riders who like it can be very fast on them, slightly too quick steering for me. I think I would take a Nukeproof Pulse DH Pro, Transition TR450 or Davinci Wilson over either of them. Probably the Davinci for me.
