This DMR 898 frame uses premium Cro-Mo tubing and it is tig welded to a high standard It is also Heat Treated...but with a difference.
Most good dirt-jump frames are heat treated, but BEFORE welding. This means that the welding process sets up all sorts of stress and strain in the frame that can weaken it and destroy the ride quality. The 898 is heat treated AFTER welding. It goes through a DMR devised process of heating and cooling, this helps it relax and soothes away all it’s angst. The result is a lighter, tougher, more dependable, longer lasting and friendlier frame.
898ºC is the temp that helps the frame to relax at the start of it’s therapy.....hence the name. It’s the key to the whole process, then it’s hardened and toughened [we’ll keep those temps secret] making it one of the strongest and smoothest riding frames that you will ever own.
Designed to be run exclusively with Microdrive (25T chainring max)

Custom butted tubing made from a special steel alloy allowing for thinner tube wall dimensions
