As the new 2012 Dartmoor alu hardtails collection will become available in a very short time we wanted to introduce you what is new in these unique frames – part of the ever growing product range from Dartmoor Bikes. This progressive company have shown an ability to produce well designed and thought out products all suited to today’s riding styles. 2012 line totally confirms this.


TWO6PLAYER
Lightweight dirt/skatepark/slopestyle frame for 26” wheels made of butted and heat treated 7005 aluminium tubes.
Evolution of probably the world’s most popular alu dirt jump frame continues with our custom hydroformed down tube perfectly fitted to the new tapered head tube. This gives a much stronger connection than a standard welded gusset and looks much cleaner. Head tube takes the Blaze or Flash headsets and all forks with 1.1/8” or tapered steerer. New double butted top tube with increased thickness in the head tube area. New custom BB-CS yoke and new chain stay tubes with even more space for the tire plus increased stiffness. New profiled curved seat stay gusset.
