303 WC

When it comes to destroying downhill tracks at MACH speeds, nothing goes faster than the 303WC. For proof, check out the speed trap result at the 2011 World Cup at Pietermaritzburg, South Africa:

1. Shaun O'Connor (Yeti/Fox) 48.92MPH
2. Jared Graves (Yeti/Fox) 48.50MPH
3. [Next Closest Rider] 42.63MPH

Of course, we weren't satisfied with simply building the fastest bike on the planet. With three years of World Cup racing on this platform and countless hours of R&D, we reinvented the 303WC for 2012.

By developing a custom tube set, the frame has lost 2 lbs in overall weight and received a major facelift as well. We also tweaked the rate to make it more supple in the beginning of the travel and offer a nicer ramp-up at the end of the stroke. And we didn't skimp on the details either - the integrated fork and bumpers and replaceable ISCG mounts are nice touches that discerning DHers will appreciate.

But we didn't abandon what got us here in the first place. The geometry is still long, low, and slack. The lateral stiffness is still off the charts. The wheel path is still extremely vertical. And pushing the bike hard into a turn still gives you the sensation of grabbing a handful of throttle.
