Yeah man it's a solid bike. I have had a lot of friends who use it for downhill trails and they love it. Kind of a popular bike but it definitely slays from what I am told.

it makes your legs super strong but god it sucks at the time that you are going up the hill with it.

I would classify it as a Freeride bike.  Good for hucking and hitting big tables.  So it is a good Whistler bike (it would be great for the type of trails at whistler).  For DH, there are definitely better bikes, but a Stinky is a good, durable, easy to maintain bike for the price.  It won't hug the trail quite as well as a designated DH bike would, it will be fine though.

Definitely check out the Coiler.  A Stinky is a heavy bike.  Very heavy.  It's in the 43lbs-ish area I want to say

yea man its a good bike forsome DH but you definitaly don't want to be riding it around on uphills.my buddy has a stinky and he has trouble riding it around on the street.  but if you are definitaly into freeride and DH then get it.but be advised that it is very heavy an not worthit if you ae mostly riding it around onthe streets. pm me for any questons about bikes.
