Fast, fun and comfortable

The DSS1 is handcrafted performance steel at its finest. Built for the purpose of all day road riding, this bike is comfortable and forgiving, but very importantly remains a lot of fun to ride. It’s quick yet stable, comfortable yet punchy, it will take the edge off that punishing climb and its grip will blow your mind coming down… All the important factors that add up for an amazing ride.

Choose the disc equipped DSS1+ for comfortable all weather, all season braking, or the DSS1CL for a classic calliper machine.

The DSS1 is built from oversized Reynolds 853 Pro Team tubing. Reynolds 853 Pro Team is Reynolds highest quality, highest strength seamless air hardening steel, drawn to give an incredible ride, while keeping minimal weight. Its heat treatment increases fatigue resistance, making it incredibly strong and impact resistant. We have custom selected the tube diameters, butt profiles and wall thicknesses to give the incredible ride of the DSS1. Importantly, Reynolds 853 also consists of up to 98% recycled material content.

The DSS1 is hand built to order. The frame is TIG welded and coupled with the excellent light weight and confidence inspiring Columbus Futura carbon fork. It is available in 54, 56 and 58cm sizes and we also offer custom sizing for +£100. We offer numerous custom options including Di2 cable routing and rack mounts among others, so you can tune the DSS1 to your exact needs.

Finishing touches include silver brazed stainless braze ons, stainless hard wear and super sexy machined brass STI adjusters.

The DSS1+ is built for thru axles and flat mount disc callipers. Accepting up to 30c tyres, allowing you to dip into the rough stuff when the feeling takes you.

The calliper rim brake option features 28c tyre clearance.

What the press says

Fabulous bike with sparkling ride and handling - 9/10 for performance

road.cc, Apr 2015

Over several weeks of testing, with a handful of other highly desirable, top-end carbon bikes sat by its side in the garage, I found myself repeatedly picking the Donhou for a ride… Donhou has sincerely delivered on the promise of something ‘for all roads, all day’. Its a charming bike
