The World Cup Winner You Can Own

🏆 **JACKSON GOLDSTONE'S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP WEAPON** 

This is the exact platform ridden by 21-year-old Canadian phenom Jackson Goldstone to BOTH the 2025 UCI Downhill World Championship AND the 2025 World Cup Overall title. After missing all of 2024 with injury, Goldstone came back and absolutely dominated the 2025 season with 4 World Cup wins and the sport's biggest prize. 

**"I felt like I was on a wild horse and just trying to hold on,"** Goldstone said after his World Championship victory in Champéry, Switzerland - one of the most technical tracks in World Cup history.

Is This Bike For You?

The V10 is **NOT** a do-it-all mountain bike. It's a purebred downhill racing machine designed for:

✅ **Bike park laps** - Chairlift accessed riding (Teton Pass, Winter Park, Snowmass, etc.)
✅ **Downhill racing** - USAC DH races, local gravity events, timed runs
✅ **Shuttle days** - When you have vehicle support for pure descents
✅ **Riders who want the best** - No compromises, just pure downhill performance

❌ **NOT for:** Trail riding, pedaling uphill, XC riding, general mountain biking

## FAQ - Downhill Bikes

**Q: Can I ride this on regular trails?**  
A: Technically yes, but you'd be miserable pedaling uphill. DH bikes are built for gravity, 
not climbing. If you want a bike for normal trail riding, look at our Enduro or Trail bikes.

**Q: Is this bike race-ready out of the box?**  
A: Yes! We'll set suspension sag for your weight, check all bolts, and you're ready for the 
lift line. You may want to fine-tune later, but it's race-ready from day one.

**Q: What's the difference between V10 S, X01, and XX1 builds?**  
A: Component spec. S (this bike) = excellent performance at best value. X01 = upgraded 
drivetrain and brakes. XX1 = top-tier everything with carbon wheels. All share the same 
legendary V10 frame.

**Q: What maintenance does a DH bike need?**  
A: More than trail bikes. Expect to service fork/shock annually (or every 50-100 hours), 
check pivot bearings regularly, and maintain brakes frequently. These bikes take abuse!

**Q: Will this fit on a normal bike rack?**  
A: Yes, but barely. The wheelbase is long. Hitch racks work better than roof racks. Remove 
front wheel for transport to save space.
