The DBK15 is fit with a new Central Tube High Strength Steel Frame-Chrome-Molybdenum Steel, allowing for a better ergonomic fit at the tank and good feel with proper flex points. DBK15 shelved the 940mm KKE Inverted Hydraulic Dual Adjustable Forks suspension, with the front being the cartridge unit praised for both feel and damping versatility. The engine is a case reed design, electric start (along with a Kickstarter).

Handling and suspension are strong points in the dirt bike series. The KKE suspension is both firm and plush enough, giving it great versatility for the off roader. Handling-wise, it’s very balanced, corners nicely and the egos are spaced out and comfortable. It has a nice easy clutch pull, and the brakes are strong and progressive. Power is soft down low; the middle has decent meat to it, and it pulls hard on top. It craves technical trails where you keep the revs down and make the rear wheel hook up.

A wide range of riders will love the suspension and give a thumbs up to the handling. For pilots used to the old two-strokes, this machine has a heavy crank feel and likes to tractor in the woods but does vibrate. It starts easily. The brakes are strong. The clutch pull is light. The cockpit is well laid out, and it feels lighter than its real pounds.
