About Downamics

Downamics was born from a quest to become faster and more a competitive racer. I'm Nick and I race downhill and I started to look in to data acquisition as a way to try and help me become a faster rider.

Data acquisition is a relatively new technology in mountain biking but it is already being utilised by some of the worlds fastest racers and teams to try and find those precious milliseconds that separate the top steps in today’s racing.

This technology is not just for the world’s fastest, however. It can help everyone from the keen enthusiast who just wants to understand their bike and their riding better, a world cup racer seeking every gain possible to get faster and anyone in between. It's also proven to be an essential tool for product testing and development, more on this later.

Downamics can help you see how your bike can perform better, how you can tidy up your riding and how you and your bike can work together to be more balanced and ultimately faster and more confident. We use a variety of different systems, from the Stendec system that Downamics started with, to Motion Instruments, BYB and even helping to improve and develop the impressive system from Syn.Bike.

​​

Downamics has also used data acquisition to help brands with product development and testing. This has been implemented during my time at Commencal, with various race teams at World Cup level through to independent testing to better understand how new products work.  We have helped brands like E-Thirteen and CounterShock with development and validation of new products, to independent testing on chassis stability and compliance. 

​

This same technology, data, feedback and insights can be applied to your bike and your riding too. We will be able to give you a complete overview of how your entire bike behaves, not just your suspension. No stone is left unturned in our endeavor to make you faster and more competitive.
