What should I be looking for when choosing a good downhill mountain bike?

Answer by  Luka (48)

You should look for the speed and the quality of the wheels of the bike, since it will be going down mountains. The handles should also be taken into consideration as well as the seat. If possible, it would be best to get recommendations from people at the store where you buy the bike.

If you are looking for a good downhill mountain bike you should look for a good suspension on the front wheel since you are riding in a downhill force. I would also recommend a good large tire for easier treading.

Good brakes, suspension, size, and tires are some of the most important things for a downhill bike. Brakes allow you to stop quickly, suspension will give you a smoother ride, size will make sure you are comfortable on your bike, and good tires are a must, they will give you better turning and riding.
