GTF Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 I wanna buy a street/dirt bike and I've been looking at the DMR Drone. What is the geometry on this frame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djb Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 A mate of mine is now riding a Drone fully built with other DMR and Halo goodies having killed his Transition. Now I don't know actual geometry figures but all I can say is that it all feels wrong. The bike feels horrendously heavy (much more than it actually is), has twitchy steering, a seemingly very short top tube and a rather long back end making it feel incredibly sluggish for spins and giving a rather strange riding position. A different stem and bar set-up may change things but I cant see it making massive improvements. It's not just me who says this about it either, he doesn't particularly like it and most of the other locals think it's a little weird and I know of no one who would rate it over his Transition. Strangely he's still able to ride it incredibly well but was saying only yesterday that it still doesn't feel right even after having it for a few weeks.I really really wouldn't recommend buying one without riding one first to see if you can get on with it, if you want a DMR go for a Transition - excellent bike for street, park or dirt.That's my 2p anyway, hope that helpsDaniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
