Strengths: Best DJ frame geometry, Strong, solid
Weaknesses: none
Bottom Line:
This bike has taught me everything I know. I had one before and sold it. Then I missed it so much I had to buy another and now I am happy. I think DMR is the best. I also have a Trailstar.
Bike Setup: dj3's,xt hubs, ex721 rims,k-rad tyres,4-jeri bmx cranks, amoeba bars and stem.

Strengths: the dmr sidekick is a great frame for dirtjumping, probably one of my favorites. since mine isn't stock i can't rate the components but i think almost any build of dmr is an awsome bike
Weaknesses: i don't think there are any weaknesses to the frame, a few upgrades to the original components can always be made
Bottom Line:
great overall dirtjumping bike. its wicked geometry is designed specifically for dirtjumping. because its so strong and the geometry is perfect for dj i would rate this the best dirtjumping frame out there. also a great frame for street and can easily be built up for some trail riding.
Strengths: super strong frame and welds,basic so nothing to break off or bend,look sleak
Weaknesses: none i can find a the moment
Bottom Line:
so smooth on dirt,manuals brill,just begs to be jumped high,feels very stiff and dont flex,wouldn't have it any other way!what more can i say...... aimed at dirt jumpers and street riders but happy being raced.no good for xc.not comfortable ridden over long distance.
Bike Setup: dmr trailblade rigid forks,alesia wheels(halos on the way,hopefully),shimano deore v-brakes,wtb tyres,dmr wingbars,odi grips,ddg stem,24 seven saddle 8 seat,dmr seat post and clamp,lx cranks

Weaknesses: one size, no rep. dropouts on mine
