It's the number of race days that make difference for the fan. Now we have 3 races crammed into one on one race day. Even if the women would race Saturday and the men Sunday on the same track would make a huge improvement. I hope the women's DH pool grows fast, there are plenty of fast young girls ripping...

Except for that the FIS women's world cup is it's own successful thing with its own races in different venues at different times than the men's. That doubles the number of races instantly. If the dh wc was like that, we would have 14 or 16 races per year.

Sure, but I guess they did not want their name on a 2005 Stinky or Demo while being a big player in motorsports and supercars. A 2016 carbon DH bike on the other hand fits just fine between a McLaren and a MotoGP bike. Mountainbikes have come a long way in a short time.

What's up with that? Did specialized order the development of mtb products as a customer/partner? It almost seems to become their in-house brand for suspension. Would not the first time either, they had or have specialized labeled forks and dropper posts before, but öhlins is sounds much fancier and someone had to develop it anyway.
