The 3D Dimension: Donhou Bicycles DSS3 Prototype

The 3D Dimension: Donhou Bicycles DSS3 Prototype

Images of the highly-anticipated Donhou Bicycles DSS3 have finally been made public, revealing the latest evolution of a machine that has already won awards in its previous guises. Brooks’ photographer Jim Holland gives us a sneak peek.

Tom has worked tirelessly on the Donhou Signature Series for the past few years and over that period it has become more focused in purpose. The DSS1 was simply a all-day road bike with clearances for bigger tyres, while the DSS2 was more of a fat tyre tourer.

The DSS3 has crystallised its purpose into a race-ready cyclocross machine and has been tested under Neil Phillips, Kibosh team rider and Trans Continental racer who rode it for Yorkshire’s 3 Peaks, the National Champs and the London X League.

An interesting feature of the new frame is the 3D-printed seat tube lug, which will become an important aspect of the production process. There’s just a couple of details that are about to be finalised, then the DSS3 will be available for pre-order in the next few months. Head to the Donhou website for more information.
