"It’s a bike that lets you really nail fast and swooping trails."

WIDE OPEN MAG - FIRST RIDE REVIEW
"The Sled is a properly good descender. It’s fast, it’s stable and it brings a good mix of stability at speed and good cornering.
If you’re out riding steep, natural, technical trails every weekend then I reckon you’ll love it. If you’re at Bike Park Wales, the Forest of Dean or Windhill then it’s going to do you proud."
"DMR have done their homework…The link works really well…allowing the bike to track the ground nicely."

DIRT- DMR SLED REVIEW
"A lot of travel for a lot less dollar than many with a tidy build kit and lurid colour that pops in the deep dark woods."
"The grip and shape are excellent, the componentry is solid, and apart from it needing a longer seat post it’s good to go."
DIRT REVIEW HERE
SINGLETRACK - DMR SLED REVIEW
"As for blasting around flowy machine-built trails and launching doubles and drops, there is no doubt that the SLED is an absolute scorcher of a trail bike."
"Along with those big ape-hanger bars and short stem, the SLED is a bike that relishes in being leant over hard through big berms, before being pumped and rolled
through the types of rhythm sections that are becoming more common on new-school machine-built trails."
"The SLED frame is mega beefy and designed to last a very long time."

ENDURO MTB: SLED REVIEW - PULLING NO PUNCHES
"The new DMR SLED feels grown up, sophisticated even, but quietly it whispers, “Send it, I’ve got your back,” like any DMR should."
"The ride feeling is like a Range Rover running a supercharged V12: totally confident and planted, boasting excellent anti-squat properties and acceleration as hit the gas out of corners.."

IMB MAGAZINE - REVIEW
"Exceptionally stable, calm and capable, this may be more bike than many of us need. However when it climbs and sprints so well, it shows itself as a great all-rounder with a desire to go dangerously fast."
