START RIGHT
The new DMR Sidekick 20 is the perfect bike for developing trail skills. It's a step above your average kids’ bike in every way. The geometry is designed to help riders progress and learn to ride out of the saddle for off-road riding on more challenging terrain, whether it's the local BMX track, pump track, the trails, or dirt jump spots. The DMR Sidekick Ride can handle it all.

STABLE
A lot of kids’ bikes skimp on tyres – we didn’t. We chose all-terrain, grippy, large volume tyres that work everywhere. The Sidekick Ride rolls on 20" wheels front and rear. A longer rear end helps with stability at speed, and the perfect head angle and fork design create confidence-inspiring steering for when your young rider knows exactly where they want to go (also comes in handy for when they don’t). It's simple to ride, easy to love, and fun from the get-go.

SPEC
What, no gears? Yes, that’s right. Single speed means zero fuss. Complex derailleur systems can be vulnerable and go wrong. Our single-speed setup is also lighter and more durable. Kids at this young age usually stick to one gear anyway. When it comes to sitting down, we designed a simple, padded, comfortable, low, and lightweight DMR Sidekick saddle. We’ve also built in a new chainguard design from Hebie – it prolongs the life of the chain, needs less maintenance, keeps any oily bits off kids’ clothing, and is a lot safer. It’s also ISO 9098 compliant, which is another sign of the Sidekick’s premium quality.

GEOMETRY
The geometry for our pedal bike is designed to make the bike as easy to get pedalling as possible – the long wheelbase, short cranks and being appropriately geared allows for that initial push from standstill to be as easy as possible allowing the rider to get up to speed with little effort. Kids will love riding the DMR Sidekick, no doubt about that.

PERFECTLY SIZED
As for the pedals and cranks, a lot of thought went into this area. Shorter legs need shorter cranks and narrower-spaced pedals – not only that, but we also built in easier gearing to get up to a sensible speed quicker, along with smaller-size junior pedals. Also, the Sidekick Ride 20” crankset is positioned at the right height so riders can get up and go, developing skills and progress while standing up on the pedals.

STOPPING POWER
Stopping with full control is important. So, we put proper hydraulic disc brakes, front and rear, on our Sidekick Ride 20” bike. These brakes work in all weathers, they don’t need any adjustment, and the smaller-size brake levers work so easily that smaller hands don’t need to grab wildly. Rest easy here, these brakes work – every time
