Used to map features for downhill mountain biking as a sport or leisurely pastime, on dedicated infrastructure mostly: Banked curves, constructed drops, jumps, &c.

How to map

Since mtb:type=downhill is a non-physical tag, it should be combined with other top-level tags.

Downhill trail/track

Used on ways way tagged with highway=* that belong to the general path or forest track network.

See Mountain biking.

For a dedicated downhill track which is not part of the general path or forest track network, use leisure=track + sport=mtb + mtb:type=downhill.

Downhill MTB route

Used on relation relation tagged with type=route + route=mtb.
