Our entire staff love downhill bikes more than anything else. Sadly though, they’re the bikes with the most limited season and so we don’t get to ride them nearly enough. But every time we do, we’re reminded why they are the best bikes. For gravity-biased riders like us, downhill bikes are the pinnacle of performance: the Formula 1 or MotoGP of our world. Except, us mountain bikers are able to purchase the pinnacle of bicycle technology and performance, and attempt to emulate the pros.

Whether you’re a freerider; “Park” rider who sticks to the jump and flow trails; downhill racer; or a rider simply looking for a bike to boost your confidence and stability as you tackle gnarly downhills, it’s hard to deny that downhill bikes leave a strong impression. Give a downhill bike worthy terrain, and the potential for fun is almost limitless.

This year, we were lucky enough to get five bikes together for a late summer test period that had us riding Whistler Bike Park and Mt. Bachelor Bike Park in Bend, OR. Over the month-long test period, we had six riders put time aboard these bikes, who took their impressions, notes and times down. With only five bikes available to us this year, we opted not to call this a DH Bike Shootout, as we really strive to have much larger test pools for such titles. However, we still hope that the group of downhill bikes reviewed here will offer some insight as we count down the days until next year’s bike park season.
