"Now, the new RockShox Boxxer and updated Vivid Ultimate, SRAM XX DH Transmission, and updated Maven brakes have been released. No more hiding, no more secrecy. So, of course, we're starting to see some brands updating their DH bikes with these new components."
"The new Mondraker Summun helped Ronan Dunne snag a World Cup victory at Les Gets last season. It was also beneath Ryan Pinkerton when he was crowned the 2025 US DH National Champion. The bike also had an appearance at last year's Redbull Hardline in Tasmania."
"Mondraker slightly changed the rocker link, making the latest version a bit shorter. It also sits lower in the frame. They also moved the rear shock mount a bit lower on the frame and added a flip chip, allowing you to change the bottom bracket height by 5mm and the headtube angle by 0.35°."
SRAM and RockShox made major announcements releasing new downhill components: the RockShox Boxxer fork, updated Vivid Ultimate shock, SRAM XX DH Transmission, and updated Maven brakes. These releases prompted bike manufacturers to update their downhill offerings with the latest technology. Mondraker introduced a new Summum DH bike that has been in development for two years and has already achieved success on the World Cup circuit and national championships. The updated Summum features subtle but significant geometry changes including a shorter rocker link positioned lower on the frame, adjusted rear shock mount, flip chip for bottom bracket and headtube angle adjustments, modified rear dropouts with adjustable chainstays, and reach-adjust headset cups allowing multiple geometry configurations.
