After a brief hiatus, the Dare has been resurrected with a vengeance for 2008.

Nine inches of travel and race proven geometry by Team Maxxis on closed course downhills make this a pure downhill machine. The new Dare is beefier, more durable and capable of taking big hits far better than its predecessor. We've tweaked the geometry, added a monocoque top tube and kept Ellsworth's classic ICT suspension technology to give you the best downhill ride ever. Take your downhill riding to the next level - Dare to defy gravity
