one of the original uci rules of downhill states you must have atleast like 7.5''s of travel so how come they are getting away with basically mountain bikes not downhill bikes? FTW MAYURN !!!!
On another note the UCI banned skin suits as they gave the sport of DH a bad look, now if Mitch Ropelato's bike is not doing that then I don't know what will. Until I see 27.5 or 29" wheels win on a track like Val Di Sole or Vallnord I do not want to see them. So happy to see Santa Cruz and Chain Reaction keeping it real!!! Big travel and normal wheels.
But bloody heck Jared Graves pinning it on a SB66 as well.
It says no Lycra or tight fitting clothing, but nothing about wheel size or how much suspension travel you have to have, so as there ain't any skinsuits, they can ride whatever type of mountain bike they want!
Maybe the new wheel sizes and short travel bikes will shine through?
After all, if it wins races, people will buy it.
Downhill bikes are mountain bikes?
Balls? I think legs was the word you were looking for...
He won on this track in 2011 and can 2nd there last year, of course it suits him.
