Gravity, Freeride, and Downhill|
CONDITION 5
Bikes designed for jumping, hucking, high speeds, or aggressive riding on rougher surfaces, or landing on flat surfaces. However,
this type of riding is extremely hazardous and puts unpredictable forces on a bicycle which may overload the frame, fork, or parts. If you
choose to ride in Condition 5 terrain, you should take appropriate safety precautions such as more frequent bike inspections and
replacement of equipment. You should also wear comprehensive safety equipment such as a full-face helmet, pads, and body armor.
INTENDED For riding that includes the most difficult terrain that only very skilled riders should attempt.
Gravity, Freeride, and Downhill are terms which describe hardcore mountain, north shore, slopestyle. This is "extreme" riding and the
terms describing it are constantly evolving.
Gravity, Freeride, and Downhill bikes are: (1) heavier and have more suspension travel than All-Mountain bikes, allowing them to be
ridden in more difficult terrain, over larger obstacles and larger jumps, (2) the longest in suspension travel and use components that fit
heavy duty intended use. While all that is true, there is no guarantee that extreme riding will not break a Freeride bike.
The terrain and type of riding that Freeride bikes are designed for is inherently dangerous. Appropriate equipment, such as a
Freeride bike, does not change this reality. In this kind of riding, bad judgment, bad luck, or riding beyond your capabilities can easily
result in an accident, where you could be seriously injured, paralyzed or killed.
NOT INTENDED To be an excuse to try anything. Read Section 2. F, p. 10.
TRADE OFF Freeride bikes are more rugged than All-Mountain bikes, for riding more difficult terrain. Freeride bikes are heavier and
harder to ride uphill than All-Mountain bikes.
