The S&M Dirt Bike is growing up.
Last week we learned that S&M was in the prototype stage in the development of the new 24″ version of the classic Dirt Bike.
We now have more dirt on the new frame, thanks to Jay at S&M.
The thinking behind the new Dirt Bike is that it will be a 24″ street/freestyle/all-around frame with a bit of retro style to it (it might even be offered in Chrome).
The geometry is similar to the Fit CR24, with a slightly lower bottom bracket.
Two protoypes are out for testing right now, a black one and red one. Final colors have yet to be decided.
Keep in mind this a prototype, so there is still some testing and tweaking to be done, and none of these specs are set in stone.
That being said, here’s what the current specs that are on the frames being tested:
- 21.75” TT
- 9.75” standover height
- 74.5 headtube angle
- 71 seat angle
- 14.85” chain stay length (slammed)
- 12.5” BB height
Other features
(Again, these are still subject to change)
- Dirt Bike dropouts
- Capped chain & seat stays
- Mid BB
- Engraved head tube with removable gyro tabs
- 1.375 TT straight gauge .035 Supertherm
- 1.5” butted DT Supertherm
- 2.25″ tire clearance
- .75” seat stays
- .625” seat stay bridge
- .875” chain stays
- .75” chain stay bridge
- Welded brake mounts
- Built-in seat clamp
Works with either standard drive train or micro-drive.
What do you think?
There’s no release date yet for this puppy, but considering all the buzz that it’s generating, I have a feeling a lot of people are going to be picking one of these frames up when they become available.
What about you?
Now that you have a better idea of the specs and features, what are your thoughts on this frame?
