Freeride is one of the most
popular and fastest growing sports in mountain biking today. Freeriding is a term used to refer to riders who aren'
t focused on one area of mountain biking, but rather attack all aspects of the
sport with great vigor. Freeriders can be seen riding downhill, technical X-country, dirtjumping, North-Shore style raised trails, urban assault and any other form of mountain biking that produces a rush. Freeride bikes range from small
hard-tails setup for jumping, to full-suspension downhill rigs that have been reduced in weight and
will sometimes have as many as 27 speeds as opposed to the standard
9-speed downhill setups. Freeriding is all about the rush!
