Best Direct-Sales Downhill Bikes Tested | Canyon vs YT vs Propain

We took three downhill bikes, all raced by factory teams, all using carbon frames, and all fitted with Fox Factory suspension, and put them through a week of torture in Morzine and Les Gets (as well as Dyfi Bike Park), to find out which is the best direct-sales DH bike.

Let's start with the multi-adjustable Canyon Sender. It can be configured in multiple variations, with the ability to fine-tune the reach to get the perfect fit and weight balance.

In contrast, the YT Tues nails its geometry colours to the wall, confident in its ability to perform on a wide range of tracks straight out of the box. Something proved last year when Oisin O'Callaghan won the World Cup in Snowshoe last year.

Finally we have the Propain Rage 3 CF, ridden by the likes of Phil Atwill and ‪@remymetailler‬ It has tons of travel, adjustable geometry, and a customisable spec.

But which one would we buy for the ultimate uplifting ride experience?
