Review | The Curve DownRock Is One Spicy Titanium Hardtail

Jan 2020

As the most aggressive bike to come from the Melbourne-based brand, the Curve DownRock is a titanium hardtail made for the good times. Using contemporary geometry and a burly parts selection, this is a bike designed to rip as hard as a full suspension bike, while injecting a load of fun back into the trail.

Highs
  • So much zinginess and engagement with the trail

  • Capable but party-plentiful handling

  • Five frame sizes for less compromise on fit

  • Scaled rear centre sizing needs to happen on more mountain bikes

Lows
  • Titanium loveliness does not come cheap

  • For the same reason, we'd love to see a steel option
