Need inspiration for a name? Here is some background on Dartmoor and the new frame
The brand's roots run deep in MTB dirt jump and street riding with several models of custom designed hardtail frames, but in the last few years Dartmoor has turned out more and more full suspension frames. The first project was the Shine frame which was one of the first FS frames designed from the beginning for slopestyle riding.
The second FS project coming out of the Dartmoor designers was the Wish - a perfect frame to build a bikepark, fun bike for all those who wish to leave the city jungle or backyard dirt jumps to taste some real MTB freeriding.
The new frame has adjustable 180mm/200mm travel and is built with a fully custom designed tubeset, CNC machined parts, 150x12mm hub spacing standard, asymmetrical swing arm construction, tapered head tube for integrated headsets and big bearings inside the frame to provide great stiffness and durability and survive the hardcore riding. The suspension system is rather simple and trouble free, but designers optimized it to achieve a linear characteristic of the first stage (some 40%) of the frame travel which is becoming strongly progressive in the second stage. This makes the frame sensitive to even small bumps, but is also forgiving on the really harsh landings.
Now it's your turn. Find the best name for this frame which will correspond to the freedom of riding through the forests and mountains and living in harmony with nature. Post your name as a comment under this article or at the Dartmoor-Bikes fanpage. The best one will be awarded with a brand new Dartmoor Wish Pro 2013 complete bike. The contest ends on the 29th of March and the winner will be announced on the 2nd of April.

Where do I pick up my prize?
It kinda folows the Shine!
"frame"
"bike"
"thing"
"uhh..."
"erection"
Explosion
Demolision???
Its got that freedom in the forest sound, running through the woods with a little sleek sickle slashin at the bushes and uttering little yells of excitement.
I can see it
This frame hasn't. It's a major difference.
Just kidding, Dartmoor Doom, Dartmoor Gladius, Dartmoor DHRR, Dartmoor Ravage, Dartmoor DanielCraig (also just kidding)
Do everything, anywhere. Against all odds, no limits, the Rebel.
BTW Props for 'Dartmoor Morgan Freeman'

Dartmoor Dissent
(type of rider attitude you will need)
Dartmoor Rail

Dartmoor Nirvana (how your going to feel riding this puppy)
"Swizzle stik"
"Beer"
"Titties"

"Eiffel Tower"
"Not a Walmart bike"
The list goes on and on.
The Dartmoore A-block, which is a section of a prison. It works because when you sell the same bike with a different level of components you can do the C-block for the entry level, B-Block for mid, A-Block for the best...
or they can call it the Dartmoore Shank. That's pretty neat-o sounding along with the Dartmoore Mutiny (which was a historic prison riot at Dartmoor.
(the amount of negs is as much as protour in a year)
because id imagine it would bowl over anything infront of it!!!
And whats with the neg props parade?

My favorite name
Dartmoor "Super ultra very very cool bike"
Here are the winners:
1 - Dartmoor Bob
2 - Dartmoor Lorem Ipsum
3 - Dartmoor Air Style FX HD OTB (The concept here is about toothbrushes, deodorants and hair wax! those are big sellers. brands make millions with those lame names. Dartmoor should notice that and send me a frame right now with DHL express.
These are names that will sell. Braaap
My thoughts as follows.:
Dartmoor ESCAPE /ESCAPISM - helping you remove yourself for the urban rat race.
Dartmoor evasion. - as above
Dartmoor pathfinder - cut the track don't don't ride someone else's.
Tempo has a multitude of definitions, but the most important are 'speed' and 'rhythm.'
On long travel FR / DH bike like this, made for hitting trails with SPEED and hitting big jumps with RHYTHM it seems like the perfect name.
Additionally, the word "Tempo" has a similar meaning in Polish, and given that Dartmoor is largely based in Poland (from my understanding,) the name would bring the bike back to the company's roots!
Finally, it fits in well with the other names in the lineup - "Shine" "Wish" "Tempo"... it just rolls off the tongue
@tmanb3
Like The "2013 Dartmoor stern"
Good luck buddy!!!
I suggest a name referring to one of the Dartmoor myths.
Dartmoor Black dog (or hound)
"Sometimes called “The Devils Hunting Pack” these beasts have been witnessed and talked about for centuries. The legend states that when Squire Dartmoor ( believed to be an evil and wicked man) died during the 1600′s, the Devil sent his own hunting pack into Dartmoor to “drag the soul of Squire Dartmoor, screaming into Hell.”..."
A Hound corresponds to the" freedom of riding through the forests and mountains" because it is a trained animal and therefore does as its master(rider) commands.
"Living in harmony with nature.",a dog is mans best friend. The cooperation between a man and a dog is harmonious; which should give the impression of the rider and bike being rhythmical and coordinated.
Since Wish Bear and Funshine Bear are both part of the original series (thank you wikipedia) my vote is to name it "Good Luck". Good Luck Bear rides around on a 4 leaf clover helicopter, how cool is that?
My other vote is for "Champ". Mountain biking is a sport, right?
"Daydream" would also work. I day dream about riding my bike in the woods all the time. I am doing it right now...
Dartmoor Sequence (type of photography needed to shoot anyone riding it)
Dartmoor Dissent (type of rider attitude you will need)
Dartmoor Rail (what this bike is going to do to your cornering skills)
Dartmoor Nirvana (how your going to feel riding this puppy)
Dartmoor KOZA (polish for goat)
Dartmoor POLISH ( as in "I'll polish up that set with another run", but also a double meaning as to the company's home country...
and fits in with Shine - polish and shine.
Prodigy means something extraordinary or inexplicable, an extraordinary, marvelous, or unusual accomplishment, deed, or event. Plus the part "Pro" emphasis that is also suitable for downhill riding on profesionnal level.
Według Wikipedia:
Chinook (z języka miejscowych Indian chinook = 'pożeracz śniegu') - ciepły, suchy i porywisty wiatr typu fenowego, wiejący ze wschodnich stoków Gór Skalistych na równiny.
According to Wikipedia:
Chinook winds (pron.: /ʃɪˈnʊk/), often called chinooks, commonly refers to foehn winds[1] in the interior West of North America, where the Canadian Prairies and Great Plains meet various mountain ranges, although the original usage is in reference to wet, warm coastal winds in the Pacific Northwest of the United States of America.[2]
Chinook is claimed by popular folk-etymology to mean "eater", but it is really the name of the people in the region where the usage was first derived. The reference to a wind or weather system, simply "a Chinook", originally meant a warming wind from the ocean into the interior regions of the Pacific Northwest of the USA (the Chinook people lived near the ocean, along the lower Columbia River).
Scorhill is a stone circle located in dartmoor national park near Chagford (grid referance SX660859).
Stone circles where used by druids to pray to the elements.
what is intresting about the name of this stone circle is that the "Scor" element derives from an old Norse word meaning 'steep'.
Meaning: Someone who feels a strong support for his or her country.
you could change this meaning so that country is out of the question but Sport takes Country's place, in this case Freeride.
this would be the meaning to you (dartmoor) "Someone who feels a strong support for his or her sport"
- Patrick Newborough
>> Dartmoor MIST
"Probably the most feared aspect of Dartmoor is the dreaded mists, they can appear without warning and blanket the moor in an impenetrable and visionless cloak, catching the unwary and occasionally leading them into a bottomless mire. What started out in a stroll bathed in brilliant sunshine can end up in a navigational nightmare just in order to get safely back to civilisation."
- basically a mist is a blanket of low cloud which considering the height and location of Dartmoor means they can be a common occurrence. They can appear and disappear without warning what I'm referring to ascending and descending with the bike and the power of nature. It's sounds a bit mystical too. You can make also a really nice promotional video on the same theme about the new frame - the mist, the forest, the leaves, the drops, the mud, the smell ... A dartmoor mist can lead an unprepared walker into difficulties by enveloping him and many times travelers have been lost.
Never get lost with the new Dartmoor MIST - coming 2013...
nice name anyway.
"In upland areas where conditions are more harsh, only the hardiest of breeds survive including the famous Dartmoor ponies."
"...only the hardiest of breeds survive..." - I'm referring here to dartmoor's frames and their strength in the specific environment.
- the Dartmoor Pony has lived in south-western England for centuries and is used for a variety of disciplines. Because of the extreme weather conditions experienced on the moors, the Dartmoor is a particularly hardy breed with excellent stamina. Over the centuries it has been used as a working animal by local tin miners and quarry workers. They are used for hunting, trail riding, showing, jumping, dressage and driving, as well as everyday riding, they are strong and reliable animals as will be the new frame. We have the conection between man and ponies during the years now it's between man and the bike - Dartmoor PONY coming 2013...
Maybe for some it's sounds a bit childish but "I'm going to ride my new dartmoor pony!" sounds sweeet when you know what a machine we're talking about!
cause all my dartmoor frames has had cracks after 2-3 months of dirt usage.
And i was looking at my frame and thinking "what a shit frame" with that face
www.memes.at/faces/y_u_no.jpg
Why?
Lynxes are very fast and agile animals which lives in harmony with nature in probably the most amazing place in Poland - Bieszczady Mountains.
Their features helps them in perfect hunting through the forest.
It is very similar to new Dartmoor frame! Quickness and agile help him in choosing perfect lines when rider have a few seconds while riding through forests.
"Kokoro" is a Japanese word. It can be translated into English in any number of ways including heart, mind, spirit. The same Japanese character also encompasses vitality and inner strength and that seems to me to sum up what Dartmoor could bring to big full suss bikes.
Explanation for the name: Buddha describes nirvāṇa as the perfect peace of mind possessed by one who is liberated. It is to be distinguished from peaceful moods arising from a temporary absence of anger, sensual desire, anxiety and other afflicting states. Nirvāṇa is an 'ultimate' peace that is achieved after a lengthy process of mind-body transformation.
(reference: Wikipedia)
So, i cant think of anything that fits more to a good bike, because theres nothing more peaceful and beautiful than a good day riding with your friends, riding is my way to reach the Nirvana.
The word Rad has lots of meanings for your brand.
It is the first three letters inverted in DARtmoor RAD.
Rad in Polish means happy or glad.
Rad in German means wheel (fahrrad is bicycle).
Rad is also found in the word Radical (which is, this new frame design).
Mountainbikers often say . This bike is rad! This trail is rad! This drop is rad!
----- PHANTOM DRAGON ----- if thats too sexy, can be simply colour coded like "Blue Dragon" etc. Vote for PHANTOM DRAGON !
"Bombing down the trails"
PZL was a Polish bomber plane type used in WW2.
PZL.23 Karaś was a light tactical bomber and PZL.37 Łoś was a medium sized bomber.
-Free (angielski, prosta nazwa i dla wszystkich dobrze zrozumiała)
-Libre (filipiński)
-Gratis (holenderski, no i wkońcu otrzymujemy w gratisie rower
-Livre (portugalski)
-Senpaga (esperanto)
-Tasuta (estoński)
Moim zdaniem wybranie któregoś wyrazu będzie odpowiednie, ponieważ jeżdżąc, chcemy czuć się wolni. Czyli Dartmoor Free, bo właśnie on da nam upragnioną wolność
Inne moje propozycje to:
Wyraz Prosty, bo o prostotę tu chodzi, a w różnych językach kilka fajnych nazw znaleźć można:
-Simple(angielski)
-Uni (francuski)
Solidny, bo każdy chce wywołać wrażenie solidności:
-Dur (francuski)
-Solid( angielski)
Oraz jak zapewne wiecie nazwa waszej firmy jest taka sama jak nazwa parku narodowego w Anglii, na terenie hrabstwa Devon. Więc czemu by nie uhonorować tego jakoś. Najlepszym rozwiązaniem jest chyba oznaczyć jako nazwa waszego produktu.
Dartmoor Devon, proste, dobrze brzmiące i o symbolicznej nazwie.

Dartmoor whip . . close to wish and very cyclist word!!
Dartmoor mop . . literally the absorber of all!
and a mythology name would be cool too like ''Aeolus'' or ''Gaia'' or ''Titan'' . . hope i help!
Pronunciation: (därt'moor, -môr, -mōr), [key]
—n.
1. a rocky plateau in SW England, in Devonshire. ab. 20 mi. (30 km) long.
2. a prison on this plateau
Referng to Nº2 i would call it Dartmoor Cell, following the line of prison a that stuff, it sounds good to me and i think of it as a good name
"Dartmoor Muskie"
Adult muskellunge (a large, relatively uncommon freshwater fish of North America) are apex predators where they occur naturally. Thus, a freeride/ DH frame should bear the name of a relatively uncommon, but agressive and feared predator. The name also somewhat matches the style of other Dartmoor frames (Quinnie, Hornet, Mana, etc).
Knowing very little about this Dartmoor company, this bike seems to be pretty straight foreward using some proven design methods. Looks to be solid in the long run. But I don't see the "assymetrical swingarm construction". It just looks like a bike that you could ride day in and day out. Hard to say without any geometry or specs.
So...how about the name of "Ride"? Probably taken or otherwise patened to death.
dartmoor illume (illume is to make lighter or brighter, has quite a few connotations with riding.)
dartmoor flux (flux: The action or process of flowing.......enough said)
dartmoor meld (meld: to blend or combine, the bike seems like it covers that middle style do what you want, hence meld styles)
Dartmoor Crown (the uppermost branches of a tree)
Dartmoor Habitat (the ecosystem in which a plant or animal lives)
Dartmoor Logger (an individual who harvests timber)
Ohh... How I wish for a Dartmoor!

Relates to living with nature and stuff then
definition:
A major ecological community of organisms adapted to a particular climatic or environmental condition on a large geographic area in which they occur. - MOUNTAIN BIKERS!
dartmoor 'DZEREN' a remarkable swift animal, when alarmed it can clear over 20 feet at one bound.
The freedom of riding through the forests and mountains and living in harmony with nature is something that can only be described as sublime.
I'd like to introduce you to the Dartmoor Sublime.
To be sublime is to have such excellence, grandeur, and beauty as to inspire great admiration or awe. Find Sublime, Be Sublime, Live Sublime, ride Dartmoor.
Dartmoor Banjankri or Ban-Jhankri - A forest shaman or spirit of the forest on Sanskrit, also referred as Yeti in modern world.
Ban-Jhankri is believed to be the first Shaman who was taught the knowledge of mastering the spirits by god himself with a promise to teach and pass the technique to the human beings for their welfare. Since then, Ban-Jhankri has been teaching technique to selected persons…
Like the compagny seems to kept their bikes' name simple and also it seems that the background of the compagny is an important factor... I think Eleventh would be a nice name for this new bike/frame. I looked at Dartmoor website catalogue and they already have ten bikes... so this new guy is the eleventh.

Dartmoor is known for its tors - hills topped with outcrops of bedrock, which in granite country such as this are usually rounded boulder - like formations.
- basically a tor is a hill or rocky peak which I'm referring to ascending and descending with the new frame and the conection between man and nature. It's short and sounds royal and godlike - Dartmoor TOR coming 2013...

In folklore traced back to medieval legend, a succubus is a female demon or supernatural entity that appears in dreams, who takes the form of a human woman in order to seduce men, usually through sexual intercourse. The male counterpart is the incubus. Religious traditions hold that repeated intercourse with a succubus may result in the deterioration of health or even death.
In modern fictional representations, a succubus may or may not appear in dreams and is often depicted as a highly attractive seductress or enchantress; whereas, in the past, succubi were generally depicted as frightening and demonic.

I think this new frame should be called dartmoor "liberty" because Liberty is defined as, the power to do as one pleases and freedom from physical restraint. A bike is a perfect example of liberty because a bike gives you power, power to reach new mile stones, power to succeed and conquer. While also giving you freedom from physical restraint, freedom from the office, freedom from the wife (for a few hours) and freedom from stress of the everyday life. At least that is what a bike is to me and i get the feeling of "liberty" every time I ride my bike so i think it is a great name for dartmoor's new frame that looks to be an amazing!
The name "slapstick" comes from the batacchio or bataccio — called the "slap stick" in English — a club-like object composed of two wooden slats used in commedia dell'arte. When struck, the battacchio produces a loud smacking noise, though little force transfers from the object to the person being struck. Actors may thus hit one another repeatedly with great audible effect while causing very little actual physical damage. Along with the inflatable bladder (of which the whoopee cushion is a modern variant), it was among the earliest special effects that a person could carry.
While the object from which the genre is derived dates from the Renaissance, theater historians argue that slapstick comedy has been at least somewhat present in almost all comedic genres since the rejuvenation of theater in church liturgical dramas in the Middle Ages.[citation needed] (Some argue[weasel words] for instances of it in Greek and Roman theater, as well.) Beating the devil off stage, for example, remained a stock comedic device in many otherwise serious religious plays. Shakespeare also incorporated many chase scenes and beatings into his comedies, such as in his play The Comedy of Errors. Building on its later popularity in the nineteenth and early twentieth-century ethnic routines of the American vaudeville house, the style was explored extensively during the "golden era" of black and white, silent movies directed by figures Mack Sennett and Hal Roach and featuring such notables as Charlie Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy, the Marx Brothers, the Keystone Kops, and The Three Stooges. Slapstick is also common inTom and Jerry and Looney Tunes Merrie Melodies. Silent slapstick comedy was also popular in early French films and included films by Max Linder and Charles Prince.

As for all the bottom-feeders making comments surrounding "it looks like this bike, it looks like that bike" that's because IT"S A f*ckING MOUNTAIN BIKE! It has geometry and a rear suspension system for a particular riding style, so it possible that it may resemble some other similar models by other manufacturers. GET THE f*ck OVER IT!!
Dartmoor Class6 (Phonetically sounds like "classics" and also harkens back to the 26 wheelsize, and it's one step beyond the most challenging class of white water rapids)
Dartmoor Post It (Relating to how videos and pictures end up online, and the pride this brings the rider)
1) Dartmoor Paradox. cause his bike looks unbelievable!
2) Dartmoor Genie. (similar to WISH)
3) Dartmoor Phoenix. Mythical Bird that dies in flames an then gets reborn from its ashes.(symbolizes freedom and eternity)
Hope my names get chosen!!!!!
this bike looks pimpin'
Transcendent- exceeding usual limits, extending or lying beyond the limits of ordinary experience, in Kantian philosophy : being beyond the limits of all possible experience and knowledge, being beyond comprehension
eheheh You like it.
Seriously its good and I want/need a DM wish sooo bad.
The Dartmoor "Dream" makes a lot of sense with the product line, because its on a bigger( I mean different) level than the "Wish".
I would be surprised if I won anything other than the not winning contest held annually in my bedroom by myself.
This frame is described as stiff and durable to ensure hardcore riding and dominate means strong and powerful, also the frame is designed to be sensitive to the smallest bumps and to take on the harshest landings.
this frame could really "Dominate" them hardcore tails and any obstacle thrown at it.
So name it Dartmoor Hash!
This also continues tradition of how Dartmoor's FS bike names sound: Shine, Wish, HASH.
Dartmoor Sequence (type of photography needed to shoot anyone riding it)
Dartmoor Dissent (type of rider attitude you will need)
Dartmoor Rail (what this bike is going to do to your cornering skills)
Dartmoor Nirvana (how your going to feel riding this puppy)
I got the name from the Pink Floyd song: 'Shine on you crazy Diamond' From the '75 Album 'Wish you Were Here'.
With 'Wish' and 'Shine' being 2 of the previous FS frames it just seemed like fate!!!
old word GLIW was be used to describe clay / swamp / or wet/moisty place. Name „GLIWICE” (name of the city where company Dartmoor is located) may come from this word, describing place, where the city was founded.
GLIW may also refer to the name of owner of land where city was founded.
Why? Just take a look at history of Poland (Dartmoor's place of birth). Uprisings, insurgents, war...
Mountain biking is like a war - constantly reinforcement. New technology, new ideas, new goals.
In Poland we have a huge potential in people and companies who may conquer mountain biking world. Desire is a huge.This FS frame should be manifest that we can compete on an equal level. This frame is inconspicuous but still powerful. What to buy specializeds, treks, tranitions, konas or other if we have our own power. What is more partisans was usually hidden in forests and mountains - in harmony with nature
Dartmoor Collusion (secret agreement between the rider and nature to build and ride)
Dartmoor Truce (riding at peace with nature)

Also it is a big middle finger to all the people talking smack on this thread!
cush - Cush is a number of things but it is also an attitude. Some one who is Cush is also a person who will "step up" and do the write thing. To be Cush is to be some one with a positive attitude - someone who does not let lifes trials get to him. To be cush is also to know how to stay calm and cool no matter what the situation
Dartmoor Leash - because somehow the bikes control our lives
(definition of Vanquish: to conquer or subdue by superior force, as in battle.)
Seems like a good name for a freeride bike that's meant to overcome everything.
a truant is a student who stays away from school without permission
i did this lots to ride my bike
- "Leshy is a sportive woodland/forest spirit in Polish/Slavic mythology who protects wild animals and forests"
He´s exlained here => en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leshy
Hawaiian origin meaning "Mist of Heaven". You know, the fog that is present on those memorable morning rides. Just enough to make you feel like your riding in the clouds.
Haha in model terms, the 3 would be higher end models. I liked the name Fantasy since it corresponds well with the Dartmoor Wish.
Dartmoor One
Now, I don't know if I get another entry but I also have another name in mind.. What about calling it with the Dartmoor One? As in One with your bike and nature.. There will be no lower or higher end model selection here... This will be a HIGH end bike. If you are chosen for this God of a bike, you must be a God of some sort yourself..
Here are the winners:
1 - Dartmoor Bob
2 - Dartmoor Lorem Ipsum
3 - Dartmoor Air Style FX HD OTB
These are names that will sell
number 3 sounds like one of the later Saab gearbox specs

It should be called "dartmoor brakeout" or "dartmoor outbrake".

I jst scrambled together some names... They might already be in the comments becasue there are so many, but that is what i just thought of for now. Might come back later and jot down some more.
Good luck to everyone!
This (insert launch date here) introducing the The Darmoor Impetus aka "The Imp"
described as a driving force, stimulation or encouragement resulting in increased activity.
In between the obstacle and the rider, there is... The Darmoor Impetus.
Dartmoor Dirtbird
To me this is the definitive word to describe the feeling of shredding the perfect trail with a bike which seems to be an extension of your own body. I often find myself forgetting all my worries; simply focussing on the flow and rush of the trail. Having spoken to many riders -like myself- it is clear to see that they think along the same lines. Mountain bikers are loyal to the sport because of the 'feeling' not only of achievement but also of complete bliss, and of course, adrenaline.
Other names I believe would be suitable;
Dartmoor Scout
Dartmoor Euphoria
Dartmoor Sense
Dartmoor Stream
Dartmoor Bliss
Dartmoor Skyline
Dartmoor Rush
Dartmoor Collider
Dartmoor Natural or "The Natural"
Dartmoor Higgs boson (could have issues getting rights to use that however)
Dartmoor God Particle (might annoy some)
Dartmoor Primal (might be too close to the Banshee Prime, but Dartmoor Primal Pro does have a nice ring to it)
Dartmoor Prestige
Good fun to come up with these
so many memories of a bike that was so special for a lot of riders
(kinda like a sting ray was i the 70's)
Just like the definition of "Inception" says: The beginning of something, such as an undertaking.
"Inception" represents both the brand and model, it tells you that it's the beginning of a new line of downhill bicycles, with pure innovation and ready to take any challenge.
To me, a park bike should be strong and maneuverable, allowing to ride hard in tight singletrack, fast in open areas, getting air, etc.
Dartmoor Buzzard : The buzzard is a medium to large bird of prey which can be found in Europe. It has a robust body, and lives in wooded and open areas, where it prefers to hunt.
Dartmoor Harrier: The harrier is a bird of prey which hunts by flying low in open areas. Also a fighter jet, some of them able to take off vertically.
Dartmoor Membrum (from latin bodypart) it goes with you like a extension of your body
The name encapsulates the idea of FreeRiding. It represents the idea that you and your bike should be totally at home on the mountains, in the bush or any time you get a chance to get off Pinkbike and go play in the dirt. Its that feeling you get when you are shredding a trail, railling a corner or landing a sweet sweet jump. Its natural.
there you go bike name and marketing perspective all thrown in.
Definition: Term associated with Lyng referring to the activities of young males seeking thrills and excitement, such as goping to the edge of acceptable behaviour and flirting with danger
we are always learning, they say.
still might be a good name though, since it's a binary star system (blue colour) that always drawn my attention , very much alike the pictures of the frame i must say, so it kinda feels right, you know?
oh 'bout the pipedream of your's... ti or regular? they seem awsome..

DARTMOOR 'RESTITUTION'

DARTMOOR LESPOOL

I think this new frame should be called dartmoor "liberty" because Liberty is defined as, the power to do as one pleases and freedom from physical restraint. A bike is a perfect example of liberty because a bike gives you power, power to reach new mile stones, power to succeed and conquer. While also giving you freedom from physical restraint, freedom from the office table, freedom from the wife (for a few hours) and freedom from stress of the everyday life.
At least that is what a bike is to me and i get the feeling of "liberty" every time I ride my bike so i think it is a great name for darmoor's new frame that looks to be an amazing bike!
The Dartmoor Descente (decending/ decender/ downhill)
The Darmoor Emerald
The Dartmoor Masochist
The Dartmoor Crystal
The Dartmoor Sumarian
The Dartmoor Kronic
one of my favorite brands, and i really need one of these beautiful bikes.
i have some names to suggest.
Dartmoor Tria
Dartmoor Kame
Dartmoor X-Ledge
Dartmoor Ouroboros (represents self-reflexivity or cyclicality, constantly re-creating itself, the eternal return.)
Dartmoor Redonda (means round in portuguese)
Dartmoor Gira ( this fun word means beautiful, but also spins.)
It goes against the DJ/Street roots, but at the same time the Renegade beckons a new way of thinking. Sure it goes against the original ideals of riding perfectly sculpted jumps or concrete, but it makes its own path along dirt and stone - as is the world of freeride in the middle of literally nowhere. This is certainly not a bad thing, as ideals and people change and grow as they explore new areas of life. It is the revolutions and the renegades behind them that spark these new ways of thinking.
(Yes I may be just procrastinating on my homework, but hey English is a fun language and bikes are way more fun to talk about)
Dartmoor "Unicorn"
Dartmoor "Dragonfly"
or Circumpunct - symbolic
or Compass - again symbolic, from the heavens compassing the earth
DARTMOOR...
Mamba (Scottish word meaning miles and miles of bugger all/nothing)
Devastation, Destruction, Avenged, Havoc, Executioner, Revenge, Dice, Black Death, The Dissent, Slasher
abbreviated form of 'gnarly', means really f*cking kick ass.
Dartmoore Balboa
Yes, Rocky stands for it`s one
Dartmoor Alba (we'd all like a long hard ride).
Dartmoor "One does not simply ride a Dartmoor".
Because it is LIGHT AND FAST and IT CAN TAKE A BEATING, it looks strong, but it is not bulky as a downhill bike.
It is a VELOCIRAPTOR.
The Baron of freeride bikes meaning da bawsss! A free'n'nobly man/gentleman/lord or whatever, nice name that clings with the companyname. Tchaa!
Dartmoor 10165 or whatever
Meili is a Norse God, one of thors brothers whose name means "Mile Stepper". He was a traveller and an important figure in the Norse Pantheon
