Once you finally pony up and buy the DMO pegs (took me 9 months), you see why they cost so much. Pretty involved shapes.

Once you stand up on them, you don't regret paying the money. Haven't actually tried on dirt yet, but, it's like day and night. And standing is pretty important in the dirt with this bike's limited suspension travel. (30mm bar risers also help!)

* Big solid flat platform.

* You can stand on the balls of you feet for better riding if you want; I couldn't easily with the stock pegs.

* You can stand a bit farther back, where the tank is narrower, which is a major plus.

* The transition from sitting to standing is just easier.


On the negative side of the equation:

* One side (the left I think) doesn't fold up as much as it could, the pedal hits the upper pedal bracket mounting bolt. Planning to mention this to the maker. Filing away some peg helps a little; a different bolt might also; it looks like a design change could fix this...

* Some folks report trouble getting a really big boot under the shifter.

* The brake pedal may feel a tad higher.
