Downhill Mountain Bikes
Downhill | 27.5" Wheel Diameter
Take your love of gravity sports and the mountains into summer and fall with Loon's downhill mountain biking network. Part of a five-phase project, Loon's variety of progressive downhill trails are perfect for first-time downhillers to seasoned dirt junkies looking to rip berms.
These bikes are specifically designed for downhill mountain biking and feature a full suspension design. Downhill mountain bikes are focused on durability and stability, and are lighter than cross-country bikes.
