When we got the news that DMR’s Transition was to be no longer we were a bit gutted, but when we heard that it would be replaced by a full build based around their team issue 898 frame we were far from gutted. We’ve been wishing for ages that companies would start selling their top dirt jump frames as complete builds, because as far as we know DMR are the first to do it with this bike, and the results are every bit as good as we expected. As good as the Transition was this bike just seems to have way more life to it. Obviously the lower weight helps, but it’s got that zing that’s hard to put into words. Just like the Transition though you get a well thought out build, which is up to the job the minute you get it out the box, and the word is it’ll be even better value.
Price: £tbc (but rumour has it around the £1150 mark)
