Does anybody really have a DH bike anymore?

Here is my new project, going to be 27.5" at some point but might ride it pretty much as-is for the nostalgia factor first.

2012 Cove Shocker project. Starting point.

I definitely had no need for one as my enduro bike will handle anything, but excited to give a big squish a shot as a nostalgic park bike.

Although Enduro bikes are mint, riding tracks blind or trying features for the first time is definitely better on a DH bike. So much get out of jail free action

I will always own a DH bike. Enduro bike can handle the terrain sure is just can't compare beyond that.

now with saint brakes reverse seat carbon post and superstar mag pedals making a very trim 43.4lbs

I still have mine, although I am riding it less and less. Never lets me down, over 10 years old, over 43lbs and 26 inch wheels. A bit of a relic (like its owner)

I don’t own one but they are pretty common here. There’s still a solid shuttle culture here and folks willing to push to the top. We also have a popular beer league series and I think that helps too.

Lol preach. I have a KSL and its the closest to how my Demo rides. The Delirium and Arrival are close, but not on par. And these are 175/170 bikes.
