Help with new DJ bike choice

[dropotaro]

Hi,

When I was younger I used to ride BMX including odd races but mostly dirt jumps. Fast forward to now I have just sold a BMX trying to relive my past however I never got on with the small wheels and I'm looking at picking up a DJ bike to help bring back my confidence and fitness. I will only be riding pump tracks and small jumps so nothing extreme
I am 170cm tall 67kg (if that helps)

I have had my eye on the Polygon Trid 2018 model (https://www.bicyclesonline.com.au/polygon-trid-dirt-jump-mountain-bike) and the 2018 Dartmoor Two6 Player ( https://www.bikes-by-ascension.com/product-page/two6player) as they seem to be great looking bikes.
I don't know the difference between specs or sizing and would appreciate some advise on these bikes or something in a similar ball park (sub $1500)

Thanks

I think the Dartmoor has the superior spec, except that brake. The polygon has a nice colour.

Dartmoor has more colour options available.

brakes aren’t all that important on the dj, grab the dartmoor.

Nice, Thanks for the reply's.
I was leaning towards the dartmoor I have just sent them an email chassing some details. Is there any other bikes that would suit in this price range?

You aren't doing 3 hour enduro DJ drops on your DJ ride? Sure I shuttle IP, but who brakes on the way up?

Shimano deore is only about $100 when it is time to flip off that SRAM.

That Marzocchi fork on the Dartmoor is probably enough to seal my deal!

Going to Shimano had already crossed my mind as my other bikes all run Shimano.
Guess its just time to pick a colour for the dartmoor then.

They are some solid choices, I will contact the La Bamba in Croydon as I live in Victoria and might be able to make the trip.
Not sold on the colour but the spec seems great for the price.
thanks for the links

Are any of the Norco range of DJ bikes worth considering?

 

[Sethius]

Ridden labomba and 26p. Go the 26p.

Not in the ones I looked at earlier. Fork options offered in the price range you're talking was inferior to gt of Dartmoor

Just committed to the Dartmoor in all black.
Looking forward to looping out in the driveway.
Thanks for the help

Don't encourage him, we won't hear from the Poodle for a few hours now....Best not to ask "why" he would like more photos!.
can you take the wheel off and slide some sexy fishnets over the legs!
