It's good to see a dh bike out in the wild. The mass killing of them by enduro bikes is getting out of hand, and we need to support the efforts to keep dh bikes from going extinct.

If it can´t pedal up... is not a bike. Neg prop me but Nature is wise...

@PauRexs: so are you saying an e-bike is more a "bike" than a dh bike?

@PauRexs:
You can pedal a DH bike to the top, you just need bigger legs! Really really big legs.

I'm starting a sanctuary for older DH bikes that otherwise might be euthanized by their owners. Send them my way - XL or XXL preferred, and I don't mind 26" at all. They'll find a loving home and get to spend their golden years enjoying a few more trips to the park. Please won't you help these loyal steeds get one more view from the top of the mountain?

@number44:
XXL 26er is certainly not the most flattering frame combo. Looks like a skateboard.

@gafoto: You're not wrong, but an XL-ish DH bike in 26" is a damn sight better than an XC bike!

Propain has been killing it with their new bike designs. I hope they find some racing success next season

The front triangle is pretty nice, the rear one is too big for my taste. It's a good looking bike still

The latest propains look amazing, this the Tyee and Spindrift look so good. And the customisation from propain is great

Wait how long did he stay in Lousã?

Happy to see riders like it here, hopefully the sport will grow and we'll have better venues with it 3

BTW: Rad bike too

That looks like a really funny track to me...

Still not revealed and not possible to order, you lost a customer. You already missed me last year with your tyee... Most riders who wanted to change their bike have already the new one.
