Hi, I am looking at getting back into BMX, just for fun and fitness. Been a while since I've bought a bike but I am currently looking at getting a DK Sprinter Pro. Does anyone have experience with the bike? I have a budget of about $500 and located in Australia, so appreciate any any other opinions for good value race bikes. Cheers!

the dk sprinter pro is a race class bike in the "Pro" size, While it is a DK BMX bike, it is designed for racing purposes only, and will not stand up to the aggressive abuse of, but not limited to, high difficulty dirt jumps, stunt riding, including but not limited to "flat-land", "street", "vert", and or "park" use. When used for the designed riding style the dk sprinter pro size is an excellent bike for it's price point. I have personally built 3 of the Sprinter class bikes, and worked on 1 a friend brought to me, they are pretty nice.
If your looking for a bike more for freestyle use, I would suggest the Dk Helio, or x Model.

Yep, looking for a race bike only. Local race track use. I'm 5'7" so I think the Pro size will be the way to go. Never owned a DK so I have no idea if they are decent quality for the money.

Sweet! The bike looks good for the price, considering it retails for AUD$599 and I can get hold of it for $500. Thanks, man!

Went ahead and ordered the Sprinter. Pick it up Thursday, can't wait! I will post a review for anyone interested.
