DH Race Packing List & Spare Parts

Show up prepared. This is the downhill race spares checklist we build around — dial it to your bike and your event.

From Head Coach Tyson Henrie: "It's hard to paint the picture for those that have never experienced a DH race… athletes showing up prepared with proper spares makes all the difference."
A downhill race bike laid out as individual components — frame, fork, wheels, drivetrain, brakes and cockpit
Every part that can fail is a part worth having a spare for — build your kit around your bike.
