I'm a 40 year old dad that ran the neighborhoods on my Dyno VFR in my youth. My son and I ride MTBs but after watching Stranger Things he wants a BMX. He currently rides a Trek Roscoe 24. So I found this DK Six Pack 24 on Dan's Comp that looks perfect for me and I dig the green. So I put it in the cart and then was trying to nail down my son on which bike he wanted. I was thinking a 20" DK Four Pack. However I can't find hardly any information, post, videos, etc about the DK 24". I do see the Sunday Model C pop-up. Am I missing something? Is there really a quality difference between the two. Most places seem to be sold out of the Sunday Model Cs. I don't want to buy a pair of DKs to find out they sold out a year ago and are now junk. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Def go with the model c if you can
Sunday all day!
Ditch that shitty website and call powers bmx shop. You need to spend at least 3000 dollars on a bike for it to be good these days. Ensure you specify that you want profile elite hubs with titanium upgrades. Anything else you purchase you’ll regret. Buy cheap buy twice. Don’t forget S&M frame as well. cults and DKs etc are mass produced Chinese crap.
A 24 is technically not a BMX. Is a debated topic for SURE 😆. Anything over 22 really. But the 20″ DK 6 pack is a solid bike, especially for a younger kid . Trusted brand…altho not top tier as they once were back in the days of the general Lee and 8 pack. But still a good ride. As for budget however…there are certainly better options at $600.. but would be slight upgrades to some components and not totally a concern.
The sunday model C is Sundays bigger bike. Comes in atleast a 22″+ and in my opinion is the better overall brand. But I think the model C isnt a full chromoly frame which will possibly reduce the wear and tear it can take. If it is full chromoly, pardon my mistake- then id go there for sure. I do feel like ive atleast seen DK 8pack 24″ but even if it existed. Id go model C if anything. If proce was same.
How much are you willing to spend?
Hah, my MTB is a Roscoe 7. I bought it after I sold my Hi-C because I wanted to go faster.
Bottom line you can get a couple of killer bikes for the $$$ you’re looking to spend with Sunday. An EX for lil man and a 24/29 for you. Good shit.
Hey dad.
35 year old dad here.
Dk today isn’t Dk from the 2000s.
For your son a 20.5 TT
For you a 21″ Top Tube.
The 24″ Bmx is more of a beach cruiser
For overall component spec, the Stolen Saint is also worth a look.
If you’re looking for a true bmx for your size, I’d suggest Fit 22. And with you’re son anything not Walmart is a good starting point. Maybe a Mongoose L100. Should be under 500$, and its only weak point is that its front hub bearings are not sealed . So I just looked it up the Fit 22″ is about 720$ on Dan’s Comp. The Mongoose L100 is 300 $ from Mongoose direct. So, about the same budget. But it depends on what you and your son like. Only my humble suggestions.
