Kurt Stockton's Kamikaze Edition Rubicon Comp Kestrel

This bike was custom built and ridden by Kestrel's Pro Mountain Biker, Kurt Stockton in the infamous Mammoth Kamikaze Downhill Race.

Unlike typical downhill courses of the 21st century, the race follows in essence the path of the traditional access fireroad. However, while average downhill races these days runs to 35mph, Mammoth racers were clocking 55-65mph on mostly rigid or semi-rigid bikes with flat handlebars.

We have the complete kit that Kurt wore while racing this bike as well as a 20 foot pop up display that was used with the bike at Interbike.
