Mongoose has stepped it up for 2008 with their already famous EC-D downhill race bike. Featuring Mongoose's patented FreeDrive suspension system, the EC-D can sprint through flats and climbs faster than any other DH rig out there. Don't count it out though when it comes to the big moves either, a lightweight, extremely strong frame sucks up even the biggest drops.

And what would an amazing frame be without some top-of-the-line components to go along with it? Mongoose has got you covered there as well.
This year the EC-D comes stock with the all-new, user serviceable RockShox Vivid 5.1 rear shock.  Now spec'd with the E13 light guide, Lock on grips, Direct Mount Funn Stem, 1.5" headtube, non replaceable rear drop outs (GT DHi style hanger), and 170mm long cranks!
The Vivid shock feels amazing.  It has a rebound adjustment at the shocks ending stroke! 
Returning again are is the RockShox Boxxer Team (with Motion Control), Avid Juicy 7 Brakes, SRAM X.9 Drivetrain and rock-solid Sun ADD wheelset.

Unlike all the other DH bikes on the market though, don't expect to break the bank to get yourself an EC-D. Mongoose is again offering this world-cup worthy racer for at least $1000 less than any other comparable bike on the market. And it comes with a suspension design that is nearly impossible to beat.
