About Us

Former semi-pro downhill racer "Downhill" Dave Flather has been operating Pinnacle Innovations since 1997. During that time I was involved with downhill mountain bike racing right from the very start the first year it was organized here in BC with races held at Blackcomb Mountain in Whistler, BC. If I recall correctly that was around 1995.

Even as a youngster I was heavily involved in cycling with BMX and actually raced at the first organized BMX races in Vancouver held at the old China Creek Velodrome in East Van. Over the years my passion for bikes in general has led to many custom bike creations as well as being heavily involved in the sport including:

• Volunteering to lead the Pedals and Pints adult mountain bike club and the youth mountain bike club rides at John Henry Bike Shop in North Van.
• Volunteering on trail conservation - including leading a a group of over 30 volunteers to reconstruct Sex Boy on Cypress Mountain.
• Distributing in Canada for Rohloff Speedhub internal rear transmission hubs. This included sponsoring many local riders such as "Super T" Tyler Klassen, "Dangerous" Dan Cowan and his Flowriders as well as many others.
• Filming and releasing the mountain bike film titled "JUMP".

With my racing and freeriding experience, I quickly found that I was breaking frames. I first started racing on Giant ATX dual suspension mountain bikes, then Mountain Cycle before sticking with Norco Downhill Mountain Bikes. Even though the Norco's were well built, I was still able to break their frames - even with their standard equipped 6" or so rear wheel travel and up to 7 1/2" front fork travel with my White Brothers inverted triple crown DH forks. Consequently, I decided to look at the rear suspension and design ways to increase the rear wheel travel. I found that by adding a longer travel rear shock and modifying the shock linkage plates to offer not only numerous head angle positions but also a variety of wheel travel positions. In my latest shock link plate designs, I have also extended the length of the shock link plates and fully equipped them with bearings on all pivot points - including the lower shock bolt holes. Now I can have as much as 10.2" of rear wheel travel on the yellow Norco Electric Downhill Mountain Bike featured on this website.

Most importantly, we will build your downhill electric mountain bike exactly how you want it done! We also fully understand that what Men need in a bike can be quite different from what Ladies want or need in a bike.
