Insight: Fly Bikes – 2015 Proton Complete Bike

July 2, 2015

With just a few days until the 4th of July and the Salute to the 4th BMX Contest that we’re helping to throw at Silverlake Skatepark here in Rochester, Minnesota. We have a bunch of prizes showing up on the doorstep to give away for some of the winners of the contest. Our friends over at Fly Bikes were more than gracious enough to hook us up with one of their 2015 Proton complete bikes to give away to one of the winners of the contest, so we wanted to take a minute to give you a closer look at this bike as a thank you, and because let’s be real… It’s one dialed BMX bike! Above you can find a quick time-lapse we put together from building up the bike which took only about 15 minutes start to finish. After you make the jump we’ll give you the full specs and some close up photos giving you a better look at this bike! Ready? Let’s do this!

Sneak Peek: Fly Bikes – Mat Roe Signature “Roey” Grip

June 26, 2015

Fly Bikes just released a sneak peek look at Matt Roe‘s new “Roey” signature grip that will be available later this year. This grip has a similar look as the A’me Tri grip that was super popular in the ’80’s and is still available today, but with a few more modern touches. Looks good to us!

“This week are excited to give you guys a few sneak peek photos of the new Mat Roe signature Roey grip that will be available later this year. We were working with Mat on grip designs and we started talking about the A´me Tri grip and how much we loved that design. In the end, we decided to do a more modern version of the grip with a few slight changes as a bit of a tribute to one of the great grip designs.

The A´me Tri grip is still available for those of you looking for the original, but we will be offering our version in black, Military green, orange and one other special colorway that we will be announcing closer to the release of our 2016 line later this year.”

Check out two more close up shots after the jump!

Sneak Peek: Fly Bikes – Geo Frame

June 19, 2015

Fly Bikes have been dropping some sneak previews of their 2016 product range that will be dropping later this year. We got a look at their Tractor XL and Tractor Sprockets and the Fly Bikes X Etnies Tripod seat. Now we get a good look at their new Geo team frame that will be dropping later this year. There wasn’t much detail given, but based off the photos we’re seeing it looks like they have decided to go with gussets on the top and down tubes, a seat stay that some of you older guys might recognize from the Three Amigos frame, traditional removable brake mounts versus the Easy Brake System they use on their frames now and chain tensioners that run through the drop out. You can get a good look at the seat stay and drop outs after the jump!

DIG X Fly Bikes – Surfing with Sergio Layos

June 19, 2015

DIG just released this fresh video featuring Fly Bikes‘ Sergio Layos catching a massive cement wave at the far southern end of France near the Spain border. Sergio brings his signature style to this massive quarter pipe with some crazy tire slides and huge airs. This spot looks incredibly fun to ride! Check it out!

“”It was right after a BSD trip with Luc Legrand that I met up with Vince Perraud and Sergio Layos on the big transitions of the Ocean Museum of Biarritz (aka The Surf Museum). This spot, between the Pyrenees mountains and the Atlantic Ocean is both beautiful and scary; the ground is like a rough pavement and you need to pedal like a madman to catch any air at all. I had already seen Max Bonfil and Alex Valentino doing some high airs on this but i have to say that Sergio was pretty unbelievable…” – Antoine Sabourin

Sneak Peek: Fly Bikes – Tractor Sprocket

June 13, 2015

Last week we got a look at the Tractor XL sprocket that has a 15mm thickness in the middle that tapers to 6mm at the teeth. Now today, Fly Bikes have given us a look at their Tractor sprocket that features the traditional 6mm thickness throughout! This will be out later this year. More details below!

“Here’s a full look at our new Tractor sprocket that will be available later year! This sprocket is CNC machined from 7075 alloy and uses the same design as our new Tractor XL sprocket, but is 6mm thick all across like a traditional sprocket. The Tractor sprocket will be available in 25 tooth (2.6 oz.) and 28 tooth (3.4 oz.) sizes with colors of black, Misty silver and one more special colorway we will be giving you a look at in the coming weeks!

This sprocket, along with our full range of 2016 complete bikes, frames and parts, will be available later this year through shops and mail-orders that carry Flybikes worldwide!”

Sneak Peek: Fly Bikes – Tractor XL Sprocket

June 5, 2015

Fly Bikes have been starting to drop previews of their 2016 product line online for us to get excited about. Today, they released a look at their all new Tractor XL sprocket that is designed to remove the need for spacers between the sprocket and bottom bracket. Full details below!

“Here’s a sneak peek look at a brand new product that we will be offering in our 2016 line that will be available later this year. The Tractor XL sprocket is made from 6061 alloy with a unique design that has a 16mm thickness in the middle, which eliminates the need for a spacer between the sprocket and bottom bracket, that tapers to 6mm thick at the teeth. The weight of the sprocket is comparable to traditional sprockets of the same gearing, but 10 times the strength. The Tractor XL sprocket will be available with a 24mm bore for the spindle, with 19mm and 22mm spindle adaptors included, sizes of 25 tooth (4 oz. / 116 grams) and 28 tooth (4.7 oz. / 134 grams) with colors of black, white and one other special colorway that we will be announcing later! ”

We’re assuming this BMX sprocket will be available around September or October. We’re curious as to what else they have been cooking up over in Spain!
