Downhill Mountain Bikes

Downhill mounting biking is one of the most exciting sports to emerge in the last 30 years. Yes, racecar driving or shark fishing might get your adrenaline pumping just as much. But you can hardly hunt down great-whites or burn up jet-fuel at the rate of 10 gallons a minutes in downtown Toledo or London.

Downhilling is a sport that requires specialized equipment, particularly the brakes. On a long downhill course, brakes can easily overheat and fail. Often times the grease in the wheel hub will get too hot and simply break down. Another common feature of downhill mountain bikes is a dual-suspension frame. So rather than have each and every rock and bump transferred directly into your skeleton, the "shock" is "absorbed" by a shock-absorber on the front AND rear tires.

If you're looking to buy a downhill mountain bike, you've come to the right place. And don't forget your bike helmet!
