I've bought Morewood Izumu 2006 frame with marzocchi roco rc shock. Is it OK to ride 3-4 meters high drops with izimu DH frame? Can it take that kind of abuse, because it's dh bike? Is dh frame strong as freeride frame only different geometry?
Thanks

P.S. I weight 85 kilos

I wouldn't be doing 3-4 meter to flat, but then again if you're here on the dh forum and not pinkbike you weren't planning on doing that anyways.. It is a race bike, but it's not a weak frame.

I've done drops about 2.5 to 3 meters to flat on mine no problem. Again, as sayndesyn said before, it is a race bike so don't go dropping Joshua Bender style drops. Those freeride bikes are alot heavier and alot burlier-built. Don't expect your morewood to stay in race condition for its racing life if you're going to do the big flat land drops.

Now drops to a downslope landing is a whole other story... That you can do.

Your bike frame should be fine. The other components are what should be picked for this kind of riding. Have fun!
