Chase
intended
For man-made dirt jumps, ramps, skate parks
other predictable obstacles and terrain where
riders need and use skill and bike control, rather
than suspension. Dirt Jumping bikes are used
much like heavy duty BMX bikes.
A Dirt Jumping bike does not give you skills to
jump! Read our "Freeride & Downhill" warning.
See page 60. The same message is true.
For extreme
riding
User caution
advised
jumping, hucking, high
However, this
not intended
For terrain, drop offs or landings where large
amounts of suspension travel are needed to help
absorb the shock of landing and help maintain
control.
tRade off
Dirt Jumping bikes are lighter and more nimble
than Freeride bikes, but they have no rear
suspension and the suspension travel in the front
is much shorter.
