Have recently got into downhill but have realised that my norco Six one isnt really going to cut it.
Have been reading as much as i can trying to decide what bike would suit me. Having trouble understanding what makes a good downhill bike.
I should start by saying that i never plan on doing huge drops or big jumps. At the moment i can do drops of around 1m and doubles around 2m long. Mainly ride the easy tracks in dwelingup in WA
I would really like a light downhill bike that is easy to handle and corner and dont think i need 8-9inchs of travel. From my reasearch i have come across alot of bike that seem to fit this catogory but they all seem to be labbeled free ride.
And most reveiws say that when pointed downhill they dont excell.
Does this all have do with the head angle?
Any help understanding all the technicall side/geometry would greatly be appreciated
