There hasn’t been a ton of sponsor shake ups in 2019 so far, which is probably a good thing. However, there have been a few notable ones! It was just announced that Boyd Hilder has parted ways with Volume Bikes and have joined the Federal Bikes team! It looks like the move has been good for Boyd since he took the win at Simple Session this past weekend! Expect to see plenty from Boyd in 2019!
Federal Bikes – Impact Guard Sprocket

Hit play on the video above for a detailed look at the Impact Guard Sprocket, then get more details below. You can also check out more photos, pricing and more on the Federal Bikes website!
“The Impact guard sprocket is made from the same tried and tested tough nylon blend as our hubguards. This offers a lighter alternative to the BBS alloy guard sprocket and also allows the nylon guard to be replaced after excessive wear/damage. This is available in both 25 and 28 tooth sizes in Black and Silver. The guard is also available separately as is the hardware to connect the sprocket to the guard.”

Federal Bikes – 2018 Dan Lacey DLX Frame Promo
Get a closer look at Dan Lacey’s matte pastel blue DLX frame from Federal Bikes…
Is it time for a new BMX frame? Here’s a detailed look at the Dan Lacey signature DLX frame in the new matte pastel blue colorway that is available through BMX shops and mail-orders now! Hit play to take in all the fine details, then learn more about the frame below. After that, you can check out full specs and details over on the Federal Bikes website!
“Dan Lacey is undoubtedly one of the UK’s most prolific street riders whose reputation for dropping some of the gnarliest moves in BMX is undisputed. 2015 marks 10 years since Dan joined Federal and 5 years since his first frame was released. Over the years minor revisions have been made to Dan’s frame, but to celebrate his 10th anniversary we completely redesigned his frame.
Dan was very specific about having chain adjusters built into his dropouts, so we designed an investment cast dropout to be as minimal as possible, while incorporating the adjusters. The standover height has been increased from 8.8” to 9” high, and we’ve designed a new custom investment cast seat clamp which is also available separately. The frame has been finished off with Dan’s inverted ‘F’ logo on the rear seat stays, as well as on the top tube gusset. The frame also has all new graphics designed by Rich Forne in collaboration with Dan.”

Federal Bikes – FTS – Lost It: Volume 1
Federal Bikes giving us a look into a new full-length video they’re working on…
The Federal Bikes team have been busy going to work on their new “FTS” video and they’ve had some extra footage. Instead of letting it go to waste, they put together a video showing how things went down in Philadelphia. This isn’t your typical raw cut, behind the scenes scrap video… This is a well filmed and edited video that gives us a look at what the team experienced, along with some riding footage that won’t be making the cut for the final video, during their stay in Philadelphia. Check out riding and footage from Dan Lacey, Bruno Hoffmann, Anthony Perrin, Stevie Churchill, Ryan Eles, James Cunningham and Michal Smelko from the lens of Rich Forne! We’re already pumped to see the “FTS” video!
“Federal Bikes are currently working on a full length video project with Rich Forne called “FTS” and will be releasing a series of short videos called “Lost it” showcasing behind the scenes footage.
This is Volume 1 and was filmed during a team trip to Philadelphia.” – Federal Bikes
Federal Bikes – Anthony Perrin Signature Perrin ICS Frame
Federal Bikes have released full details on the new Anthony Perrin signature Perrin ICS Frame!
“The brand new Perrin signature frame has been completely redesigned with a shorter rear end which is 12.9” slammed. This frame is also the first to feature the new investment cast (ICS) chain stay wishbone to allow better clearance for wide tyres. The frame has also been updated to include IC dropouts, seat clamp and seat stay bridge. This frame also features all new graphics by @rich.forne” – Federal Bikes
The Perrin ICS frame is made from full 4130 chromoly tubing with a 75.2-degree head tube angle, 71-degree seat tube angle, 11.8″ bottom bracket height, 8.9″ standover height and a 12.9″ (slammed) chainstay length. You can find an integrated head tube, top and down tube gussets with an embossed logo on the downtube gusset, Mid bottom bracket, integrated seat post clamp, tapered seat and chainstays with an Investment Cast Chainstay wishbone that looks amazing (photo below), 5mm dropouts and removable brake mounts and guides on the seat stay.
The ICS frame will be available in this translucent blue and brown in 20.75″ and 21″ top tube lengths and weighs in at 5.3 lbs. The frame should be landing at BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Federal Bikes worldwide soon, if not already by the time you’re reading this.
How awesome does the investment cast chainstay wishbone look? We have a feeling we’ll be seeing more frames adopting this in the very near future.
Gussets on the top and down tubes for increased strength.
Removable brake mounts on the seat stay, curved bridge for extra tire clearance and an integrated seat post clamp!
How good does that blue look?
The other side! Graphics by the very talented Rich Forne!

Federal Bikes x Manyfest BMX – Bartosz “Tow D” Tolkacz Video
Bartosz “Tow D” Tolkacz coming through with a fresh one for Federal Bikes and Manyfest BMX…
Hash BMX sent through this new one featuring Bartosz “Tow D” Tolkacz getting down on the street spots and a skatepark over in Poland for Federal Bikes and Manyfest BMX! Tow D is a grind technician and knows all about putting his pegs to good use. He’s also still rocking a cassette which is nice since it seems like there are only a few guys riding street that still rock one these days.
“The long awaited new video from Bartek “Tow D” Tołkacz is finally here!
Watch him slaying street spots around Poznan, Malbork and Wroclaw in Poland.
Bartek is probably most humble and real dude I’ve ever met and can call a friend. He’s also OG on the bike!
