Anthony DeRosa Bike Check

June 24, 2016

There’s a new Bike Check over on the Animal Bikes website giving you a closer look at Anthony DeRosa‘s current Brooklyn Machine Works setup that he’s running decked out with Animal parts from top to bottom. We haven’t seen too many of the Brooklyn Machine Works frames so far, so that’s pretty interesting to see. There’s also a prototype fork, so we’ll have to keep an eye out for that in the near future. You can check out the full parts list and a bunch of photos of the bike here — Anthony DeRosa Bike Check

Product: Animal Bikes X Terrible One – Ursa Minor & Major Tires

June 2, 2016

The awaited Animal Bikes X Terrible One collaboration Ursa Mior and Ursa Major tires have started to land at BMX shops and mail-orders worldwide! The Ursa and Major tires features a dual compound proprietary blend of rubber compounds that creates a fast and grippy tire. The center features a harder rubber compound to help reduce rolling resistance while a softer compound is used around the edges to help you grab while turning on street, ramps or pools. The tire features a center groove, along with smaller grooves that combine T and 1 on the edges with a smooth tread throughout the rest of the tire.

The Ursa tire is available in in two sizes; Minor, which is a 2.20″ (2.28″ Inflated) and Major, which is 2.40″ (2.44″ Inflated). Both sizes are available for $29.99 in black only through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Animal Bikes and Terrible One worldwide.

As we mentioned above, the actual inflated sizes are a little bigger than their actual size. 2.20″ is more like 2.28″ and 2.40″ is more like 2.44″ width. Keep that in mind if you’re running tight on space for your fork on frame.

Don’t forget, this tire is Joe Rich approved!
