Finishes are still being finalized, but it’s likely there will be a satin-nickel coating, an “ED coating” which has many properties of flat black oxide, and the rest is strictly on a “we’ll see” basis. Gus indicated that these new bad-boys would not be available in the signature “Triple Chrome” as many old schoolers might like to see. This is partially a matter of cost, but also owing to the fact that “show chrome” is not what it used to be. The EPA has imposed strict regulations on the process and materials platers can use, which has a dulling effect on both their business, and the end product. BMXNEWS returned to the aisles of the show this year, and brought back some choice morsels of new stuff you’ll be seeing on the bikes of the factory and well-informed in the coming months. Of course, with the Internet age, we can see the latest and greatest products literally minutes after they come off the CNC machine or out of the welding fixture for the first time.
Ryan also clued us in about a later project of Strength complete bikes, with an aluminum frame. While doing some research into magnesium as a possible material for use in the Answer fork line at the Taipei Bike Show, Ryan spied some frame blueprints hyper bicycles sitting on a side table. So began a six-month development cycle of prototyping and testing this largely-untested frame material. And from all appearances, they hit a rare tract of unexplored potential in BMX racing product evolution.
All our wheelsets come with a two-year limited warranty so you can worry less about your equipment and focus on your riding. Transforming rider position at the push of a button – even when in motion. BMXNEWS will be keeping our eyes on the progress of the bike, and will show you first-photos when the time comes. Though the initial rollout hyper mountain bike this March will be a market test to gauge consumer interest, it is still hitting 314 stores, which is bigger than most chains, in itself. Based on this test, Walmart will evaluate whether the bike gets a chain-wide rollout. A nice island plot of real estate in the “BMX Zone,” Profile had the full wagon rolled out at Interbike.
Business is done among the familiar, and the guy you shared a cab with on the way to the airport, or high-fived at the blackjack table (or other strictly “stays in Vegas” activities) could be tomorrow’s customer, partner or distributor. On September 23, 2020, Fa-Hsing Lu, a citizen and resident of Taiwan, Republic of China, filed a patent infringement suit against Hyper Bicycles, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation with its principal place of business in New Jersey. On the other hand, if you seek a reliable and stable ride for city commutes, there’s no better choice than a hyper bike. Hyper Bikes are lightweight and feature moderately good components.
With millions of shoppers per day chain-wide, the dR Replica has a chance to put BMX Racing in front of a massive audience. The Strength frame will be available in seven sizes (Micro-Mini to Pro XXL at launch, with a Pro Cruiser coming soon after), and will weigh in at right around two pounds for the larger sizes. Ryan added, not jokingly, that the micro and mini sizes will likely be as light or lighter than the carbon forks most riders would run with it.
Our in-house wheel brand “Lún Wheels” has a wide range of road & gravel performance wheels. From our carbon-spoked Lún HYPER race wheels, to our budget-friendly Lún Road; there’s an option for every rider and every race. Just like the other bikes in Liv’s hybrid range, the Alight 2 disc features an ALUXX aluminum frame, which is Giant’s (Liv’s Parent brand) signature alloy across their range of hybrids. It’s perfect for zipping around on busy roads, or lifting the bike if need be.
