DK R/T
Will we ever stop bleating on about Doyle off DK? Maybe not, maybe. But for now, our attention is swayed by this, the new R/T frame – a warming-over of the old Doyle frame of last year. R/T presumably standing for ‘Race / Trails’ and as such is a great combination of cromoly manufacture, predictable geometry leaning over the racing and trails side of the BMX fence, with simplistic double-diamond construction, no wishbones, lugs on the chainstays, smaller dropouts, Spanish BB, hiddenset headtube, angled brake lug on the downtube, removable gyro tabs, mono-colour graphics on a blue paintjob – note the downtube ovalises at the headtube and the BB shell slightly. Interesting. The R/T really light too, standing in at 4.95lb all in, thanks to being made from double-butted heat-treated chromoly tubing, and in two lengths – 20.5 and 21 inch.
