Have you got a picture of the Downhill bike? That isn't one.
The bike is a Saracen Xcile hardtail fitted with completely unsuitable forks, the ones I have seen usually come with something more sensible.
Either way it's a bike that isn't much good at anything, uphill, downhill or on the flat.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0 -
As Rookie says, it's a Saracen Xcile, and I say it's probably circa 2003-5?
It's also not what would be classed as a downhill bike, more of an old school dirt jump bike

Looks like August is going to be another record low for new members sticking around beyond their first couple of posts.
Keep up the good work guys

At least we arent cynical enough to claim that was a downhill bike!Fishkeeper84 wrote:Thank you for the answer. Sarcasm, nice.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0 -
It is a 2004 Saracen Xcell, and those are actually the original forks.0
