This week’s photo of the week comes from joelmirandaphotography on Flickr. This close up look of a Fox DHX-C is a cool glimpse into how far the mountain biking industry has come in recent years. What used to be a sport of riding rigid 26″ bikes with cantilever brakes has now become a hub for suspension technology.
While some would argue this has both good and bad points, the evolution of rear suspension components and design has not only brought more riders into the sport…but it has also extended the possibilities of what can be achieved on a mountain bike. From fast, twisty XC racing to large freeride drops, today’s mountain bike designs can do it all. We are literally riding a sophisticated motorcycle…just in this case…we provide the power.
