2011 DMR Bolt Geometry
DMR has released a bunch of info and pics of the much anticipated Bolt full suspension frame. The Bolt offers 125mm (4.9" inches) of rear wheel travel. Because of the concentric Bottom Bracket lower linkage the Bolt can be setup as a single speed or with those crazy gear thingys. To aid in this flexibility the Bolt includes DMR's Swopout Dropout system. The frame is made of 4130 heat treated cromoly. This is a Full squish frame that trully rides like a hardtail. Even though I only rode it up and down the walkways at Interbike it felt stable, easy to manual and very nimble. DMR is hoping to have Bolt's available fully by March. Start saving your pennies you will want one of these. Click below for exact Geometry and a closeup of the linkage...
