The regular version has gears and stuff, Bernard's is much better. In my opinion at least.

It's cool, but there are a lot of dj frames out there for A LOT less. They failed to mention that it has DMR tubing, why not just get a DMR for 1/2 the price. And I own a Pivot Firebird, so I'm not a Pivot hater.

trailstar2danman (Jan 17, 2012 at 17:50)

DMR rules, Pivot realy!

seraph (Jan 18, 2012 at 12:31)

Because there isn't a DMR with ISCG tabs, tapered headtube, and 4X geometry like the Pivot Point.

gutkrencher (Jan 17, 2012 at 14:26)

So is this just another bike by DMR with pivots name decals on it? The frame looks almost Identical to an 898 except for a few angle tweeks apparently, It has all DMR parts and an x-fusion fork who are a brand supplied by upgrade.
Still looks like a nice bike but I'm interested to see how much it costs.

seraph (Jan 18, 2012 at 12:31)

Different geometry, ISCG tabs, and a tapered head tube. Sounds pretty different to me.

gutkrencher (Jan 19, 2012 at 7:33)

The 898 has a tapered headtube too, you're right about the iscg tabs though.

seraph (Jan 19, 2012 at 10:18)

What's interesting is that the DMR website makes no mention of the 898 having a tapered headtube. In fact it says: "The 898 uses an intergrated [sic] 45/45 headset..." which would lead one to believe that it was a standard 45°x45° internal Campagnolo-style headset.

gutkrencher (Jan 26, 2012 at 4:43)

Ahh you're right. The newer model comes as an option with a tapered headtube or you can still get the regular campy type.

Brooks3386 (Jan 17, 2012 at 17:29)

Nice but if it's a rebranded dmr 898 or new 2012 drone then why buy it coz the decals ain't all that and the pivot brand ain't been on the seen that long so only time will tell

DrPhilmmkay (Jan 17, 2012 at 17:37)

Not sure what all the fuss is about. Most DJ frames look the same to me (other than variances in paint or sticker designs). Shapes are mostly the same. It's not like there are obvious differences (say when you're comparing a Turner 5 Spot to an Ibis Mojo). But I like Pivots though. Their M4X, Phoenix, and Mach 5.7 Carbon are frames I totally wouldn't kick out of bed for eating crackers...uh waitaminute.

BTW, this opinion is given by a non-DJer. Uh-oh, I smell negative props.

bodomterror (Jan 17, 2012 at 21:46)

since its easy to turn a 20" into a scooter these days, the next step is to turn 26ers into scooters too?

JonGales (Jan 17, 2012 at 14:43)

How many negativ probs do I get if I say that I still can't understand how people can get so excited about a dirt bike like this?

what does it have? One gear? An 80mm fork which doesnt really need much adjustments?
I dont get the fact that some of those bikes get get more expenaive than 1500£ ? You dont need any good shifting or super expensive brakes on that...

Dont get me wrong (sure you will) but I would like to see more pro DH/FR or enduro bikes because there is much more secial about them..

dougies (Jan 17, 2012 at 17:37)

cause its a clean looking bike, simple as that..

kanioni (Jan 18, 2012 at 0:48)

@Jon If you rode DJ, you'd understand. And what dougies said

JonGales (Jan 18, 2012 at 12:45)

I sometimes do ride DJ, that thing there was just a little idea in my head, so dont take it to seriously

kanioni (Jan 19, 2012 at 8:18)

Fair enough, I can see your point

For me it goes like this: When I see a bike that looks like it would ride well (I'm picky when it comes to bikes), I get exited about it. If it's built well and looks pimp, even better

. This applies to all kinds of bikes, no matter if complicated or simple. Just my 2 cents

eandal (Jan 17, 2012 at 22:43)

that's a really slack head tube.

alexroyal816 (Jan 17, 2012 at 13:51)

have yet to see anyone riding it!!

Downhill340 (Jan 17, 2012 at 14:01)

Well Bernard kerr said he only has had his 2 days now ,and he rides for pivot , so id give it time before you see them regurlarly.

RustyShackleferd (Jan 17, 2012 at 16:53)

Any clue to what tires he's running?

R-trailking-S (Jan 17, 2012 at 17:43)

Looks just barely like the tread blocks of a DMR Supermoto tan wall, although the picture is very fuzzy.

pb213 (Jan 17, 2012 at 21:18)

fell in love the second i saw it

lincolnproductions (Jan 17, 2012 at 13:45)

Such a nice looking bike!

MCHardmanUK (Jan 17, 2012 at 14:26)

I wish I could dig up my old photo of my DMR, clean snapped in 4 places at once.

shishka (Jan 17, 2012 at 19:28)

That bike look very familiar

massivewhips (Jan 17, 2012 at 13:57)

crazybiker22 (Jan 17, 2012 at 14:44)

walshhb (Jan 17, 2012 at 17:43)

Downhill340 (Jan 17, 2012 at 14:00)

Pivot are easily on their way to becoming one of the top contenders in the market.

FindlayReade (Jan 17, 2012 at 14:06)

I think the bikes are overpriced for a lot of people to buy them.

Downhill340 (Jan 17, 2012 at 14:11)

Most mountain bikes are over priced to everyone these days.....But I dont really say they are over priced or judge because ive no idea what it takes to build a bike. But it sure is expensive and anyway bit of a downside to this sport , but were addicted.

BUY A SPECIALIZED WOOOOOOOOOOOOO
