Downhill is one of the fastest growing mountainbike segment. Most of all cases the downhill rider reach the top of the mountain, or what ever with a motorised lift. Pedaling on the top of the trail is nearly unpossible because a downhill bike is too heavy and it would be an agony.
Since 1990 the technology which is used for Downhill cycling is getting more and more complicated. Today, Downhill bikes are good developed and the most modern technology is involved into them. Such a modern bike has a big disadvantage: its their weight. A Downhill bike weight between 18 and 25 kilogramms. They usually feature a full-suspension design and a suspension travel of 200mm. A downhill bike is also equipped with hydraulic disc brakes they have a diameter of 203mm, thats necessary to be able to stop in every situation. A chainguard is needed to keep the chain where she should be, on the chainring. Tyres with a large volume are essential to have enough grip. The rest of the components are constructed for durability. They have to bear enormous forces, which were developed by the gaps and drops during a downhill ride. A low centre of gravity helps to stay stable on the bike in difficult and technical trails.The price for such DH race bikes starts around 4000 sFr.
