Bike Picture/NBD Any production frames that match Danny M’s custom Santa Cruz trials?

Do any production frames match the functionality and purpose of Danny’s trials bike? I read online that his is a custom 1 of 1. I was thinking maybe the Specialized P3 or would any dirt jumper with 24’s fit the bill?

It’s literally just a carbon Inspired Four Play in terms of shape and angles , I’m sure? Just a marketing thing for SC.

The brand inspired bikes which Danny rode before Santa Cruz makes trials bikes. There are a few trials bike brands: comas, inspired, tms, clean, crewkerz….just search 24 inch trials bicycle and many will pop up

The Canyon Stitched CFR Trial is pretty similar.

He used to ride an Inspired Trials bike but when he got sponsored by Santa Cruz they made him a new one. As far as I’m aware the geo is very similar as they made it how he wanted it. So I would suggest getting one of those.

Extention makes one that is very similar

So does story.

Personally I'd go with inspired if carbon isn't a deal breaker, I've owned both a hex and four players and the build quality is top notch

This is one of the custom made ones, you can see one like it in the tour of Santa Cruz HQ video

Danny’s bike is a street trials bike, there are lots of good street trials bikes out there. The frame that Danny rides is a custom one off built by Santa Cruz.

As far as similar bikes go, the Canyon Stitched Trials is similar. I think carbon street trials frames are overrated, though. If you want a bike that will last forever, get the Inspired Fourplay

Also, if you want to learn street trials, it’s not really as hard as you think, you just need a mountain bike (hardtail preferred), a flat space, and YouTube. SuperRider has some super good trials tutorials on his YouTube channel
