Hickerson
Danny Hickerson has without doubt been one of the most influential BMXers over the years. Every trick pulled with ease, and style for miles. These days we know he suffers a lot from injury, and we wish him well and a speedy return to the steed. Here’s his signature frame from T-1. Built from butted 4130 and includes hidden gussets in the top and down tubes for added strength. This is a solid all rounder and even boasts built in chain tensioners and Fly’s own removable brake mounts. This new red colour way looks too hot, love it.

CK
We have Chad Kerley’s frame promo up on the site right now and it’s literally obscene. He’s without doubt one of my favourite riders to watch, and here’s what he does it all on, the Premium CK frame. Right away we have good clean solid lines as you’d always expect from Premium. Double butted top and down tubes with gussets, heat-treated head tube, fully heat-treated rear end and an hour glass BB shell to keep those Derek Dusters in check. All in all another high quality frame from Premium, endorsed by one of the most progressive riders in the game right now. Looks so slick in matt black too.

United
Mothership Bars
United’s Nathan Williams signature Mothership bars just got BIGGER. Coming in now at 8.8″ rise, 29″ wide, 11degree back and 1degree up sweep. Still constructed from the proven 100% seamless 4130 chromo with post weld heat-treatment. They weigh in at 1.98 lbs. The originals have always been popular, and I can see their big bro’s being right up there too. RRP: £59.99
Fit
Tom Dugan Bars
USA made, 100% 4Q baked, and heat-treated 4130 chromo is the only way for Tommy Dugan. 8.45″ rise, 28.5″ wide, 12 degree back and 1degree up sweep. Weighing in at 2.0 lbs. These feel a treat, Tommy needed bigger bars and he got them. Available in red, black and this dope looking green colour way. RRP: £59.99
Vocal
Fat Seat Pivotal
Vocal are keeping the fat seat movement alive with their own pivotal version here. Designed by their rider Jack Clark it has an embroided, hardwearing logo cover. Emboosed rubber patch and weighs in at 320 grams. Available in good old fashioned black too. RRP: £28.99
Vocal
Plastic pedal
Vocal have come through with their own plastic pedal. These are the Slim set, with a great looking surface and slim design. They weigh next to nothing but will certainly pack some strength. Comfy to ride with and will last. Available in all your favourite colours too, and I mean all of them! RRP: £14.99
Subrosa
Power peg & wax
These look incredible! Lahsaan Kobza signature ‘Power Pegs’ from Subrosa. The wax you get with this is a class act. T5 Deathproof heat-treated 4140 chromoly, 4″ long and 34mm diameter, anti rotation pins and each peg is 172g. Really awesome idea for the packaging and design, love these. RRP: £19.99
Subrosa
Positrac Cassette Hub
This is such a sick piece of kit from Subrosa. The Positrac Cassette is a new 36 hole switch drive compatible hub. So, LHD or RHD you’re covered with ease. Constructed from 6061 aluminium with 2 high quality sealed bearings and the driver is equipped with 4 pawls that can be switched along with polymer bushings. Treats. RRP: £169.99
Eclat
Nathan Williams peg
Another neat idea from the Eclat secret lair, this time they got Nathan Williams on board to design his own signature plastic pegs. These are a nylon/fibreglass mix sat on a chromo inner sleeve. The nylon grip is so tight it will not spin off the peg, which is a great feature. These are real light, and if Nathan is anything to go by they’re clearly strong as an ox. RRP: £19.99
United
Super 8 Sprocket 25t
Tidy looking piece of craftsmanship from the crew over at United. Their new Super 8 sprocket is a clean 5 spoke design CNC machined from 7075-T6 aluminium. Laser etched logo, and also available in black or red with a spline drive option too. RRP: £39.99
Social
Freeloader Top load stem
Clean and solid looking top load from Social. This thing looks like it’d grip your bars with ease. 6061 T6 aluminium CNC construction, 51mm reach, recess for top cap, solid bolts and weighing in at 292g. Available in black, silver, red, orange and green. RRP: £44.99
Eclat
Stroke Chain halflink
Here’s a tough looking bit of kit from Eclat. When you’re dealing with chains they have to be able to take a whack or two, and this one looks good enough for that. Steel links with weight saving cut outs and a chromized treatment to help with rust and wear. Weighing in at 328g you want a chain that’ll do its job. Eclat have certainly nailed it with this one. RRP: £21.99
Shadow
Strada Tyre 2.3
Strada means ‘street’ in Italian and that’s what these Shadow Simone Barraco signature tyres are all about. Super slick and the knurled tread is grippy, responsive and fast. Awesome Shadow logo on these too and available in black, grey and maroon side walls. Ours come in at 2.30, and we are awaiting confirmation of the other sizes. RRP: £29.99
