What’s a down country build / bike

asking for a friend…..

In short, downcountry bikes are lightweight XC-style frames with added travel, trail-friendly geometry and wider, knobbly tyres.

On the stem, dropper lever, derailleur cage, chainrings etc… cSixx manufacture locally. 
Rims and bars are specced, designed, prototyped and tested locally, with manufacturing in the East.

Like just about every brand, our local industry source an engineering/design mix of local/overseas manufacturing and white label products.
