What sport is downhill?

Downhill is a sport mainly practiced in cycling and consists of going down steep descents on rough and demanding terrain.

Athletes use specific downhill bikes to tackle high speeds and technical challenges along the way. Downhill is often practiced as a competition, with official races held on specially designed tracks. Athletes must demonstrate skill, speed and control as they negotiate jumps, rocks, roots and other obstacles on the way down.

It is an adrenalin-pumping sport that requires good driving technique and great ability to control the vehicle.

How to recognize a downhill bike?

Downhill bikes are distinguished by their robust suspension, downhill-adapted frame geometry, specific wheel sizes, powerful brakes and durable components.
