United Bike Co. – 2017 KF22 Complete Bike

July 29, 2016

We have been hearing more and more about 22″ bikes and it looks like a few brands will be adding a 22″ bike to their line ups for 2017. We caught wind that United have been working with Kye Forte on a signature 22″ bike a little while back, and it looks like it’s finally hitting BMX shops and mail-orders that carry United worldwide now. Above is a quick promo where Kye talks a little bit about the bike with a few riding clips mixed in for good measure. Below, you can find full specs and details on the bike with a full parts list and photos! Check it!

“Long time UNITED pro Kye Forte has always been one for doing things his way and in this, his 10th year with United, he still isn’t afraid to go against the BMX norm and mix things up.

Here’s a closer look at his brand new 22′ United KF22 2017 Complete bike and some thoughts about the place of 22″ bikes in BMX today. As ever, Kye doesn’t hold back on or off the bike.

“The Van Doren Invitational is a contest unlike any other.. Seldom are the worlds best bowl/transition riders summoned to compete in a contest that stresses the importance of general “course flow” and style, as equally or even more important than tricks. They switched up the bowl design for this year, but everyone seems to be adjusting well. Peep these highlights from the last two days on practice on the course. Riding from (in order of appearance) Larry Edgar, Dennis Enarsson, Dylan Stark, Matty Cranmer, Jason Watts, Gary Young, Matt Cordova, Alex Hiam, Corey Walsh, Daniel Sandoval, Scotty Cranmer, Kevin Peraza, Kevin Kalkoff, Chad Kerley, Tom Dugan, Dakota Roche, Dan Foley, Sergio Layos, Pat Casey, Clint Reynolds, Greg Illingworth, Kris Fox, Chris Doyle, and more.” – Ride BMX
