Flybikes – 2017 Fuego Frame

October 6, 2016

Flybikes dropped a look at the new 2017 Devon Smillie signature Fuego frame in the new matte semi-translucent dark blue color. For this year, it sounds like other than the new color, the only other change to the frame is that it now features a shorter 13″ chainstay length and an additional 20.5″ top tube length.

The Fuego frame is made from full 4130 chromoly tubing with a 75.5-degree head tube angle, 71-degree seat tube angle, 11.75″ bottom bracket height, 9.25″ standover height and a 13″ chainstay length. You can find an offset thickness integrated head tube with dual internal and external gussets on the top and down tubes, multi-butted and tapered top and down tubes, a multi-butted seat tube, Investment Cast seat post clamp with the horizontal cut system, a Mid bottom bracket, Investment Cast seat and chain stay bridges, removable Dylan style brake mounts and Investment Cast dropouts with the removable chain tensioner.

The 2017 Fuego frame comes in this matte semi-translucent dark blue color and matte black in top tube sizes of 20.5″ and 21″. The frame is available through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Flybikes worlwide and direct from the Flybikes website.

Offset thickness Integrated head tube with dual gussets (internal and external) on the top and down tubes.

The Investment Cast seat stay bridge and the Investment Cast seat post clamp with the Horizontal Cut System which is designed to reduce the amount of torque and pressure put on the frame to hold the seat post in place.

Flybikes – Space Grey Colorway

September 30, 2016

Flybikes keeping the 2017 previews coming. This time around we get a look at their parts in their new Space Grey colorway. Based on the photo, we can see their Piramide rim and the new Lunar rim, the Tractor and Tractor XL sprocket, Roey stem, Tripod seat post, Rotar bottom bracket and headset and the new front and topload Volcano stems. Really digging the clean look that this color gives everything! It sounds like the new 2017 products from Flybikes will be dropping at the end of October / early November, so keep your eye out for it if you’re digging this.

The Rotar bottom bracket, Tractor XL sprocket and Dolmen 2 cranks all paired up.

The Tractor Sprocket in the new Space Grey color.

The larger version of the Tractor sprocket, the Tractor XL sprocket in the new Space Grey color. This sprocket is unique because it’s 16mm thick in the center, eliminating the need for spacers and a bottom bracket dust cover, then tapers down to 6mm at the teeth like a traditional sprocket. Clean and simple.

Sneak Peek: Flybikes – Lunar Rim

September 25, 2016

It looks like Flybikes have decided to revamp their popular Classic rim for 2017. Flybikes have released a few sneak previews of their new Lunar rim that will be hitting BMX shops and mail-orders toward the end of October / Early November. The rim features extra rounded edges to help resist ping flats, a deeper rim bed to make it easier to seat the tire, increased the overall width of the rim with offset spoke holes to increase the strength and kept the extra drilled holes for rotational weight savings. The rim also features a welded seam, which was really popular on their original Classic rim. The Lunar rim will be available in black, dark gold and their new Space Grey colorway through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Flybikes worldwide toward the end of October!

Interbike 2016 – Flybikes

September 21, 2016

Making the moves. Next up, we went on over to the QBMX booth to take a look at the Fly Bikes product on display. They have been slowly starting to pop up on their Instagram over the past few weeks, but there are a few items we haven’t seen yet. Above is a look at the 2017 Devon Smillie signature Fuego frame in the new Flat Translucent Blue color. The frame will also come in a new flat black color.

Here’s a look at the new 2017 Geo frame in Larry Edgar’s signature Burgundy color. There will also be another Courage Adams signature color that will be a metallic brown they didn’t have on display. There are also some geometry differences between Larry and Courage’s frames. We’ll let you know when we have full details in the coming weeks.

The Ruben, Devon and Roey grips in a few different colors. They have clear red, dark blue Cola and Syrup colors, along with a new Tan color option.

The Tractor, Tractor XL and Mid bottom bracket and Roey stem in the new Space Grey colorway. This will be available on a few other parts as well in their line up for 2017.

The new Volcano fork that we caught a look at the other week. Learn more about the fork here — Sneak Peek: Volcano Fork

The new Volcano stems that we also caught a look at the other week. Front and top load versions. The ridges to help give the the bars a little extra grip. You can get a better look here — Sneak Peek: Volcano Front and Top Load Stems

Here is one we know a number of people are excited for. The Devon Smillie signature Devon tire. It uses a similar style as the classic Ruben tire, just more street influenced. It also has the “Protection Line” sidewall which is a harder rubber to help with grinds. This tire will come in Tan, the new Dark Blue color, white and black and 2.30″ only.

Matt Roe and Devon Smillie Tripod seats!

That wraps up what Fly Bikes had on display at the QBMX booth! They will be giving out a look at their new 2017 complete bikes, frames, bars and more here soon, so keep an eye on the site for that. We’ll make sure to post up a look as soon as we can!

Sneak Peek: Flybikes – Volcano Front and Top Load Stems

September 12, 2016

If you follow Fly Bikes on Instagram or Facebook, you would have seen the sneak peek looks at their 2017 products that they have been dropping. Last week we got a look at their new Volcano Fork and now we’re getting a look at their new Volcano top and front load stems. No details as far as specs and everything go, but one of the most stand out features are the anti-slip grooves where the bars sit. We did see some comments questioning if the bars will have ridges and we’ve also seen people thinking it will cause crushing because it’s not putting pressure on the bars evenly all around. We highly doubt they will be using bars with matching ridges and we’re pretty sure it shouldn’t cause crushing. At least, we would assume they tested for that, right? Beyond that, they both look like real clean stems with extra machining externally and internally for weight savings, beveled edges, a recessed top for a flush fork cap and solid chromoly bolts. Not sure on sizes or colors, but we’ll keep you posted as soon as we know more!

What do you think of those grooves?

Sneak Peek: Flybikes – Volcano Fork

September 5, 2016

It looks like Fly Bikes have started to unveil their new 2017 product range. Over the course of the past few days, we’ve been getting a look at their brand new Volcano fork that will be dropping toward the end of October / Early November. Based off the photos, it looks like the fork is made from heat-treated 4130 chromoly with a triple butted, CNC machined ovalized steerer tube, an integrated cone race, tapered legs and 30mm offset Investment Cast dropouts.

If you were reading that, the Ovalized Steerer tube should have caught your attention. Based off the photo, it looks like the steerer tube starts out round at the top and then becomes ovalized as it meets the legs. The crown race is still round to accommodate the headset. This helps to spread the legs out a little further to give more clearance for 2.40″ tires and more welding surface. Expect full details closer to its release!
