The Session 88 is the world's greatest downhill racing machine. But don't take it from us—listen to the authoritative voice, Dirt Magazine: “If you wanted to walk into a shop and buy an off the peg World Cup race bike ready to rock this wouldbe the one you chose. Sublime geometry, faultless componentry, great weight, finish and price to match make the complete bike utterly untouchable – the best production downhill bike by a mile.”
