Video: Titanium Hardtail Hits

Apr 30, 2024
by DMR Bikes  

WARNING: We've made a brand-new bike. However, our new bike doesn't come with four suspensions and a 666W motor, or even semi-automatic gears with a Li-Ion battery that lasts for 143 miles. It doesn't even come with a loam button (although that might be nice). Welcome to the all-new DMR Trailstar Titanium frame – 2.1kg of custom 3Al-2.5V titanium tubing, built to haul ass.

 Finally, I’ve found my people! If you’re ever in Seattle, let’s rally. =) I might even drop my 33.5” saddle height on my 1999 titanium hardtail if things get really crazy =P

 @RedBurn: 635mm! Extra wide, haha. I put in some 90’s Onza extenders for bar ends and slid my grips out over them...much better than the stock 600mm for my Wookiee arms =)

 yes DMR!
I've had years in the industry dealing with ebike t*ssers - and frankly they can all get in the sea. This is awesome.

 Plenty of t*ssers ride normal bikes, not sure why having an ebike make someone a t*sser!?

 @aikidoka: are you denying that ebikers are tossers?

 Press release verbage written by a human with a sense of humour rather than an AI bot. Refreshing change this year.

 …says everyone, right before they tell me about how they have this back problem which is why they need 160mm of travel on our local rolling blue trails.

 It always feels good when your buddies on enduro sleds realize that you’ve kept up with them or smoked them on your hardtail, helps you tolerate the pain

 Well after Alex rankin videos earlier this week. This DMR video smells a lot like it and I am loving it. Why not getting one of these to do what brits are doing best sessioning and repeating section of trail full with punk rock song in the head! Great timing there and superb edit

 Website link is broken... Bike looks killer, and 1800£ frame pricetag didn't shock me either. Long slack hardtails are just such a hoot!

 It looks like the cable guides are optimized for left hand rear brakes. Not my cup of coffee

 Dude. It’s British. It’s not your cup of tea.

 @drjohn: woosh

 Genuinely asking: how are they optimized for left/rear brakes?
  • 1 1
 @rigidsteel1312:
If you want right lever to rear brake, your hose will route to in front of the head tube to the left side of the bike. Your first brake cable guide should be on the left side. This is how the shifter should be too.

If you want left lever to control the rear brake you want the first cable guide on the right side.

this frame has one cable guide on either side (a brake side and a shifter side). I’ll take my downvotes after you try to route the cabling and and see how dumb it is.

 Anyone else get really put off by Ben Deakin for no reason? It’s like a primal urge to breathe, eat, and hate BD.

Makes no dang sense, but I’m only human.
