About DESCENT

DESCENT is a downhill mountain-bike time trial. One mountain, . kilometres of hand-routed trail and metres of vertical drop: berms, rock gardens, root sections, jump lines and a final sprint. The bike is simulated for real — progressive fork and shock, per-wheel grip, load transfer, pumping and air control. Read the trail, carry speed through the berms, keep the wheels on dirt, and take down your personal best split by split. Chase the clock in Timed Runs or explore the hillside in Free Ride.
