Iron Horse Sunday

Iron Horse SundayIf you are considering purchasing a new mountain bike, you probably have questions about the features offered for each, and how you can get the most bike for your money and riding style. Iron Horse is a very popular line of mountain bikes in the United States, so you have probably come across them in your research.

The full suspension bike has shock absorbers in both the front and the rear suspension. This offers a more comfortable, controlled ride. The downsides are that this increases the cost and requires more maintenance. It is also heavier than the front suspension models, making it harder to jump, but it is much more comfortable for a long-distance ride.

The Iron Horse full suspension mountain bike is durable and handles well. Priced around $6,000, it is expensive, but it is a high-quality bike. It has been raced at the highest levels of competition, winning World Cups, World Championships, U.S. Open Championships, National Championships, and many more on the national, regional, and local levels. With this level of success, the bike is worth the investment for the serious rider, especially for competitive racing.

It is very hard to find fault with the Iron Horse Sunday bike, and some have called it the best downhill racing bike ever made. One of its features is its innovative screw in the lower pivot assembly, which lets you clamp the rear shock down, resulting in a zero play, no-maintenance ride. The MAX-E pivot bearings are strong and easy to maintain. it also uses over-sized aluminum pivots and bearings, which are stronger and lighter than steel pivots and bearings. It has 8" travel DW-Link frame and Funn Fatboy handlebars are designed to take a beating.

Deep bumps are easily handled by DW-link suspension which stays active under braking and pedalling. This is a perfect bike for down-hill trails, resorts, or races. While designed for down-hill performance, the Sunday easily pedals uphill, even better than some free-ride rigs. It handles gutters and curbs well, and it is strong enough to handle drops and jumps. Although it is heavy, weighing about 45 pounds, it is virtually indestructible, although jumping it off a cliff would not be a good idea, for obvious reasons.

Iron Horse specializes in full suspension mountain bikes, and the Sunday is their top-end model. It is the bike of choice for two World Champion racers, Sam Hill and Sabrina Jonnier, further proof that this is a top-of-the-line bike. The Sunday is the premier bike for professional racers and amateurs alike.
