Eclat BMX – Lost Bruno Hoffmann Predator Tire Promo

November 8, 2017

We’re not quite sure how a Bruno Hoffmann video goes missing, but apparently it happened.

Here’s a raw cut video Eclat just released of Bruno Hoffmann footage that was filmed during their “Mount Royal” trip to Montreal a while back. The footage was meant to be a promo for Bruno’s signature Predator Tire, but never made its way online until now. Hit play and take a look! Plenty of real solid clips in this!

“ost amongst the interwebs for 6 months, here’s a reminder of just how good Bruno Hoffmann is, and why his signature Predator tire is THE tire for the technical street rider.

All footage is courtesy of Zach Krejmas/RideBMX from our “Mount Royal” video which you can see in full here –

When Bruno Hoffmann came to us with an idea for a tire, we knew this was going to be one tough set of rubber built for the streets.

The ‘Predator Tire’ was build from Bruno’s need for a super tough, dependable tire that not only gripped like nothing else, but was also strong enough on the sidewalls to last heavy flat ledge sessions and resist the trauma that his blend of technical and burly riding can cause to a tire.

Constructed using the finest quality materials possible, the Predator Tire will be available in Bruno’s preferred size of 2.30” (58mm), which is what he considers “the perfect size” for street riding.

Available now worldwide in Black and Dark Gum and Dark Blue.”

Eclat BMX – Army Green Venom Peg

October 17, 2017

It has been a few years since Eclat have introduced their Venom peg, now it’s available in a new Military green color…

Is it time for a new set of BMX pegs? Have you given the Venom Peg from Eclat a look yet? The Venom Peg was originally released in 2013 and it has proven to be a solid option for riders that prefer to run plastic pegs all around the world. These pegs are made with a 4140 chromoly core that is liquid heat-treated for increased strength and a low friction nylon / fiberglass replaceable sleeve that helps keep you sliding. The Venom peg is available in 4″ and 4.5″ sizes with a 38mm diameter and comes in a 14mm size axle and a 3/8″ adaptor if you want to run the pegs up front. You can pick these pegs up in this new Army Green color, along with the existing black and dark gum color options. They weigh in at 6.34 oz. (4″) and 6.80 oz. (4.5″) and can be picked up through BMX shops and mail-orders for $22.99 with replacement sleeves available.

Each peg comes with a 4140 liquid heat-treated chromoly 14mm core and a 3/8″ adaptor and one sleeve. Replacements are available for around $6.99.

Not a fan of the Army Green color? They do come in the original black color still!

Also available in a Dark Gum color!

Sneak Peek: Eclat – Onyx Sprocket

August 1, 2017

The crew over at Eclat have released a sneak preview of their new Onyx Sprocket that’ll be hitting BMX shops and mail-orders some time in September / October. This cold forged sprocket will not only be affordable, but it’s double sided with two unique looks, so you can run it either direction. Below you can find an Instagram post showing you the sprocket from both sides (use the little arrows on the photo to switch between the two). Since this is a cold forged sprocket, it should be pretty affordable. We’ll keep you posted as soon as we know more!

Here's a first look at our new #ONYX forged sprocket which will be available later this year. Thanks to the cold forging process, we were able to produce an insanely strong and durable sprocket which is not only much more affordable than a traditional CNC machined sprocket, but also features a different design on each side allowing you to pick the side which you're feeling the most, and then change the look of your bike at a later date without needing to spend any money. SWIPE right to see both sides ?????? #eclatbmx

Ty Morrow On Eclat

July 12, 2017

Here’s some news we’re pretty sure most of you didn’t see coming! Ty Morrow has left the Primo team and joined the Eclat team! Below is a very short but sweet video to make the announcement, but if you want the dirt on just why Ty left Primo, you should check out his DIG Interview where he holds nothing back on what prompted his decision! It has a lot of similar reasons that Adam LZ had for leaving Stranger, which is also a Tip Plus brand.

“One thing we are very proud of is our team, we always wanted to build a progressive and heavy squad that would fit well, travel together and be excited to ride our collection of products.

Ty Morrrow is one of the heaviest of the heavies and today we are honoured to announce him as an éclat rider and to add him to an already stacked team of some of the finest BMX riders on the planet – whom we are all proud to call our friends.

Ty is already hard at work stacking clips for his first éclat project which you can expect to see grace your screens in the very near future…” – Eclat BMX

You just built up this bike, what would you say your favorite part of it is?
I think my favorite part of my current bike is the Radio Bikes Nemesis frame. It’s a very solid frame and it has a perfect geo for every type of riding, street, park, even trails. It’s a machine you can take everywhere and shred anything.

What’s the oldest part on your bike? Does it have any sort of sentimental value or anything?
I really don’t know. I got a complete new bike a few months ago so everything is still fresh really.

I know you’re a beast on a bike. How often do you like to build up a new bike? Do you swap things out early or run it until the wheels fall off?
There are some parts I change often like pedals, pegs and grips but everything else stays on the bike till its not readable anymore, which surprisingly isn’t that often.

It seems like the Radio Bikes crew are always working on something new. Do you have any signature parts or anything coming in the future?
Radio as a brand has grown so much in the past 2 years, Dave really kills it! I started working on my first signature product earlier this year, it is going to be a Guard Sprocket which will be super solid and perfect for the Streets, but also designed in a way so that it’s not too expensive which is great especially for younger riders. I’m super thankful for this opportunity and can’t be more stoked to be riding the prototype in a few weeks time. The sprocket will be available around October/November.

I saw you’re testing out a sample of the new Wethepeople Pathfinder bars. How are you liking those so far?
They are feeling great. I’ve always liked the look of 4pc bars and I really like the geo and the specs of the Pathfinder bar. Felix Prangenberg is also one of my best friends, it’s really cool to help him test some of his signature stuff.

Are you pretty particular about the way you have your bike setup? Bars in a certain spot, a specific tire pressure or anything like that?
Haha no, I’m not that talented at working on bikes in any way at all. I ride it even when it’s not perfect so I’m not that picky.

It looks like you have been real busy stacking clips and miles. How was your recent trip to Holland with the Radio Bikes team?
It was so much fun! Nothing but good times with the Radio crew. It was such a fun trip because we were able to ride so many different setups. We rode skateparks, bowls, street and even dirt all in one week, I can’t remember the last time I could do this all on one trip. It was also rad to meet new guys on the team like Brian Fox and hang out with them in The Hague. Rotterdam was so good definitely one of my favorite cities to ride . I’m super stoked on all that clips me and Robin Kachfi got there and I can’t wait for the edit to drop which should be any day now.

Now that summer is in full swing, what is your travel plans looking like? Anywhere in particular you would like to get out to?
I really would like to go back to Barcelona end of the year. I’ll be riding all the major street contests in Europe this Summer and for the rest of the year I’m going to try to travel as much as I can, filming some clips, meet some new people and just having a good time.

I saw you have hit up a few different contests this year already. Are you a big fan of riding in contests or is it more just for fun? Do you have any plans on hitting up a few more this summer?
I like the good vibe at Contests, you always travel to new places and meet so many new people. For me this is what makes contests so special, not the competitive side, but the ability to ride and meet new people in new places. I always try to hit up most of the bigger contests in Germany, Belgium and Holland this Summer and I’ll probably be going to Riga for Simple Summer Session.

You have been busy filming quite a bit lately and popping up in plenty of edits. Are you working on any video projects that you can tell us about? When can we expect to see a fresh video from you?
Yeah there is an edit of our Rotterdam trip with my Radio teammate Robin Kachfi coming which im pretty stoked on . I have a People’s Store edit droppijng pretty soon, and I’m going to be working on a promo for my signature sprocket later this year. I also did a couple of Trips withe the guys over at the Fella Bmx and the video should be out in a few weeks .

What have you been getting into when you aren’t riding these days? Any new hobbies or things keeping you busy?
No other hobbies just work to be honest haha! I’m working as a chef right now and it’s a pretty hard job but also super fun and I don’t have to work so long during the day so I have a lot of time to ride my bike than your average 9-5 job which is sick in the Summer.

How can people keep up with you?

Snapchat: Hoodboy47

Do you have any shout outs or thanks?
Thanks to all my sponsors, my friends and my parents for supporting me riding my bike. Special thanks to my man Dave Paterson for everything he’s done for me over the past few years.

Anything else you want to say?
Thank you Kurt for this interview and the bike check and thanks to my man Aaron Zwaal for the photos .

Eclat BMX – “Seouled Out”

July 4, 2017

Check out what the Eclat team got into during a trip to Seoul, South Korea!

A few weeks back Eclat had sent Alex Kennedy, Devon Smillie and Kilian Roth to Seoul, South Korea to explore the street spots and cruise with some of the locals at their skateparks! Here’s a banger of a video giving you a look at what these guys got into during their stay!

“Éclat’s Alex Kennedy, Kilian Roth, and Devon Smillie spend a week in Seoul, South Korea vibing with the locals and shutting down spots. It’s pretty incredible what these three accomplished in just under a week. Devon holds down the tech game, Kilian hits you with the BANGS, and AK brings his magical blends of tech, gnarly, and everything in between. This is the Éclat “Seouled Out” Adventure.
