If you really want to get into DJ’ing, then fly with a chromoly frame for strength, as those hydroformed aluminum frames do not hold up in the long run. Seen too many crack and break. If you plan on getting this stock from Airborne, then the first thing I noticed was the Sealed Alex FR-30 wheel-set & Tektro Auriga Comp hydraulic discs. They both suck bro. Alex rims are crap for the DJ’s, FR, or DH. I know I owned two separate wheel-sets of them. The Tektro fluid brakes are so not worth it, they truly suck.
In the long run it is a descent starter DJ bike though, however, there is some real sweet DJ bikes out there on the market to look at first before pulling the trigger on this one. You can always just purchase a frame and build it your way, which is always the best way bro. You build it how you want it, not some one else or as a starter.
Good luck though bro! 😄
