El Guapo Downhill Bike

This is the only 29" wheel downhill bike available for sale to the public that I know about. 29" wheels are excellent for downhill applications for some riders (email me for a consult before you make up your mind), and tire choices have improved to the extent that I feel comfortable offering this bike to customers. This bike is also available built for 24", 26", or 650b wheels if desired, at the same price. Click here to read the full suspension FAQ.
