WELCOME TO DOWN SHIFT CYCLES - Promoting the EXCITING
Down Shift Cycles represents a new thread on the MTB flag. Mountain biking, or at least the sale & promotion of mountain bike equipment, has become an annoyingly commercial nuisance to the riding public. It's time to cut your way through the bull, hype, trends, fads & sales tactics to get a down-to-earth perspective. There's enough of crap circulating out there about the mainstream, but what about the other stand out manufacturers who, whether you're familiar with them or not, don't make headlines or don't have brand-name-mongering loyalists blogging their brains out? Yeah, those brands, I'm out here for them & others I stand behind. Ventana USA , Chumba Racing , Brodie Bikes , Corsair Cycles (up & coming brand), Marzocchi Suspension , Magura brakes & forks , Full Speed Ahead (FSA) components , Wilderness Trail Bikes (WTB) products & more.
