The ambitious Danish bike company Pronghorn Racing organized a season kickoff in spring 2009. Time to check the single track trails in Silkeborg/Denmark.
Kenneth Dalsgaard means what he says: "We wanted to build the fastest bike for racing!" The result is really impressive: During the last season their fresh high performance bikes got a lot of great results in test reviews. So I was really looking forward to check my new ride for 2009. And to be honest: "I didn't expect, that there would be such cool single track in Denmark."

First I'm gonna tell you more about my new bike: The Long Travel All Mountain Bike PR6 series stands out with its unconventional position of the rear shock. The designers and engineers took their suspension knowledge and passion for riding into the all new patent pending design - known as A.P.L.S. (anti power loss system). A top mounted suspension system that maximizes leverage and eliminates pedal bobbing. Ideal for the complete ride.
An eye-catcher: The Longtravel model from Pronghorn Racing
The PR6 - LT Long Travel version with six inches of travel is ideal for All Mountain- and single track riding.
Nice stuff inside the office building in Silkeborg
So, what is a Pronghorn? It's the world's fastest land animal over long distances. Its unique biomechanic is a phenom, so the guys have set themselves high goals, when they designed the Pronghorn Racing bikes.
As a professional bike coach and passionate ambassador of mountain biking I will represent Pronghorn Racing in 2009 and I'm really glad to have such nice bike for all the events and races I will attend in the upcoming season over here in Germany.
Me and my new ride for 2009
Pro-Rider and Danish XC-Champ Klaus Nielsen knows how to be fast. So he gave useful tips to the other riders

Quite amusing seeing as Denmark doesn't even have hills, let alone mountains!!!
rear susp is kinda hidden, i thought it was one of those "bendy frame" bikes.
