Session 88 DH
Ride
- The benchmark downhill racing bike
Fit
- World Cup-inspired geometry dialed for downhill racing gives the right bottom bracket height and wheelbase for full performance.
Technology
- ABP (Active Braking Pivot) gives the best suspension performance at high speed braking.
- Full Floater design places shock mounts on two moving linkages, creating better quality travel throughout the entire stroke
- E2 is an integrated frame and fork technology. Both the fork’s steerer and the frame’s head tube taper from a lower 1 1/2” bearing and race to a 1 1/8” upper.
- One-piece EVO aluminum Link adds stiffness and reduces weight.
- 203mm front and rear wheel travel.
