Each cycling category treats different psychological defects. The MTB is nothing more than a bicycle for the terrain. The mountain bike category is about you and explores the relationship between you and the world around you - often in an extremely sensitive way. MTB means loneliness. Alone with yourself and nature. There are no teammates, no distractions, just you, the bike, nature - and the task to overcome. No cheating, no escape routes. There is only the deed.
The mountain bike category can be grouped in several ways. There are rigid-tail and fully telescopic MTBs. We also distinguish areas of use: we divide the mountain bike segment into cross country/marathon (XCC, XCO, XCM, XCE), trail, all mountain, enduro and downhill categories.
It is a question of many points of view, and in this case it is also a question that can be answered in the most optimal way with the help of different points of view. According to one point of view, down country is the latest offshoot of the cross country genre, which is more digestible for ordinary users. According to the other point of view, the down country MTB category was created precisely because in the midst of increasingly difficult competition conditions, flatter angles are needed, longer spring travel and a greater degree of stability are not disadvantages.
We consider any of them relevant, which is certain that down country is some kind of improved version of the cross country MTB category. Compared to an XC mountain bike, we can find here a longer spring travel (usually 120 mm), a longer chain fork, and flatter angles.
The first reason is a quarter of a century of business and more than 40 years of competitive experience. Our specialists have all the knowledge necessary to make shopping with us as enjoyable as possible.
The second reason is the brands we sell. Wilier Triestina and Pinarello offer luxury quality that meets all needs in the down country mountain bike segment (also). Being traditional premium manufacturers, no challenge can arise for which these legendary Italian companies do not have a high-quality solution. Finally, we would bring up stability and reliability.
