If you’re a beginner in DH, sure. Pretty impractical for much else.
If you’re only planning on shuttling or going to bike parks and don’t plan to put those pedals to use too often, then sure.
Unless you’re strictly doing downhill with a lift. I would pass. Sick looking bike. But very impractical for anything other than downhill.
Well…. you won’t snap it in half.
If you used to jump motoricross bikes and don’t want to pedal up hill then yes
Personally, I wouldn’t want a downhill bike as my only bike unless you’re a park rat. If you plan on doing anything else, get an enduro bike as a middle ground. But you know better than me it depends on what kind of trails you live near. For me, even an enduro is completely excessive. I love climbing, and the closest bike park is 3 or more hours away, so my 140mm of travel is more than enough.
