BMX UNION

Last year we decided to figure out what the most expensive complete Freestyle BMX Bike was for 2016 and it was pretty interesting to see just how much bang you could get for your buck. Now that pretty much all the main BMX brands have their 2017 Complete Bikes available, we figured it would be a good time to do a little research and figure out just who has the most expensive complete bike! Will the guys at Wethepeople be able to hold the crown, or is there a new one taking the top spot? Instead of focusing on just one of the bikes, we decided to do a TOP 5 list leading up to that top spot. To be clear, we are basing this list entirely off what we found for pricing online and took the most common price that we found for the bike across multiple reputable BMX retailers. With that being said, let’s take a look at what bikes made the Top 5!
