The DMR Sidekick Ride 20 is designed for developing trail skills. It is a step above standard kids' bikes, with geometry specifically engineered to help riders progress and learn to ride out of the saddle for off-road riding on challenging terrain, including BMX tracks, pump tracks, trails, or dirt jump spots.
The frame and fork are constructed from premium quality, lightweight, and tough aluminium, similar to DMR's Pro dirt jump bikes. The geometry features a longer rear end for stability at speed, while the head angle and fork design provide confidence-inspiring steering. The 51cm (20") wheels offer balanced and stable handling, encouraging the rider to shift their weight and control the bike while standing on the pedals.
The bike is equipped with powerful hydraulic disc brakes and knobbly 51cm (20") tyres for grip and control. Components such as smaller pedals, shorter cranks, and smaller diameter handlebars and grips are designed to be perfectly in proportion with the rider. This setup is ideal for mastering skills such as bunnyhopping, skidding, wheelies, manuals, endos, back hops, slides, and jumps.
