The V-10 from Santa Cruz in it DH MTN racing has CF for its front, but the rear is completely aluminum.
Why is that?
Because that's cheap to make and sells at a decent price point. Also,
down hill bikes don't benefit from light weight the way
up hill ones do.
Asking why some people don't have faith in something is kind of silly ... look at how many people are afraid of flying, and how much safer flying is than driving.
