[[{“value”:”The Iron Horse Sunday is widely regarded as one of the most iconic downhill mountain bikes of all time, but how much of its legacy is genuine engineering brilliance and how much is pure media hype? Owen Coutts and Steve Jones dive deep into the real history behind Sam Hill’s legendary ride, breaking down its progressive DW-Link suspension, radical geometry, and secret weapon shoe setup. From legendary race runs at Champéry and Val di Sole to the stark differences between race-winning prototypes and off-the-shelf production bikes, we reveal what made this machine a staple of MTB history.
