Downhill mountain bikes are in principle always full suspension bikes. They distinguish themselves by a lot of travel, not only with the front (frontwheel) but also with the rear (rear wheel). For a downhill bike, travel above 200 mm is not rare. That provides reserves also in extreme terrains and makes the bikes a perfect choice for steep descents, leaps, and bike parks. Modern downhill bikes often have highly maneuverable rear-end systems, which avoid negative driving influences or braking influences on the suspension. The geometry and wheel size is optimised from year to year and tested and developed with the professionals from the racing scene. More and more manufacturers of downhill bikes decide on the wheel size of 27.5'', because it is a good compromise between smooth ride, agility and stability. Downhill wheels often have aluminium frames, with high quality complete bikes there are also often carbon frames. The equipment is highly diverse and starts for a price class at nearly €2000 and goes up to €8000 with high-end downhill racing bikes.
