How much would you spend on a downhill bike

What would you buy if you could spent 8000 € ?
Maybe buy a car or travel around the world ?  ...or buy a bike !
Of course there are only few people who are able to spend that much.

Such an expensive mountainbike has to be special and flawless.
I did some research to show you the "perfect" downhill bike in my opinion.

TREK  SESSION 9.9  Carbon
Mountainbike  Big Bike

This bike only weighs 15,7 Kg! That is amazingly light for a downhill bike and will give you a big advantage in races. The frame is nearly entirely carbon. Just the fox suspension is worth more than
2000 €.
- Fox  Suspension :  Fox 40 Fit RC2Hybrid Air with kashima coat       203 mm
                               Fox DHX RC4                                                  210 mm

Of course a carbon handlebar , the super light  Sram X0 DH shifting system , Truvativ X0 DH Crank and powerful Avid X0 brakes.  Top parts in a really special bike.
I never had the chance to test-drive one ( it is kinda rare ) ,but it is known to be very agile.
You can change the geometry to fit your style.

The Trek Session 9.9 is a super light downhill Racer. Perfect parts and an agile suspension.
A truly special Big Bike with an even bigger price tag.
