Flybikes – Sem Kok: Raw Line

Flybikes coming through with a fresh batch of clips featuring Sem Kok cruising the FOD Trails out in California! Sem brings a ton of style to this one with a good mix of tricks. The sound of the tires and cassette as the only sound is real nice, too! It will make anyone covered in snow right now pretty jealous!

“During a recent trip to California, Sem Kok caught a session at the FOD Trails. Nothing but the sound of Sem’s tires and Cassette, and style for miles packed into this one!

The 2020 Complete Bikes from Flybikes have been landing at shops around the world, and they are looking awesome! Here’s a look at the 2020 Proton Complete that is designed for the streets with some real solid components and an affordable price tag. For this year, Flybikes have made a few key improvements to the bike from last year to make it even more dialed. The 2020 Proton now features full 4130 chromoly 4-piece bars along with full 4130 chromoly 27mm offset forks and a taller 9.25” standover height frame, giving the bike a better overall look and feel. They’ve shortened up the backend to have a shorter 13″ chainstay length as well, giving this bike a more responsive feel that’s great for spins, nose manuals and more.

Flybikes – Ruben Ligera Tire

Leave a Comment

After a number of years without the tire, Flybikes have reintroduced their popular Ruben Ligera Tire after a ton of requests. This BMX Tire is designed for the trails riders out there who don’t get a lot of new options these days with so much focus on the street style tires. The Ligera tire features the same classic tread pattern that has a more aggressive pattern based off the popular Ruben Rampera tire. You can find a light kevlar folding bead, a high pressure and puncture resistant layer (HPPR), a pinch flat resistant layer and a high pressure casing. The tire has a 60 TPI count and a max 120 PSI rating. You can pick up the tire in a 20 x 2.40″ size and black for the only color right now.

The Ruben Ligera tire is available through Flybikes dealers worldwide and direct from the Flybikes webstore now.

The Ruben Ligera tire is directional, so you’ll want to mount it the right way to properly get sideways.

Josh Dove On Flybikes

Leave a Comment

Here’s some sponsor news for you on this Friday! Josh Dove has officially joined the Flybikes Pro team! IT was announced about a month back that Josh had parted ways with his longtime sponsor Colony, and during that time he found what appears to be a perfect match. Josh has been on absolute fire for the past couple years as an up and coming young gun, and this past summer really opened up a lot of eyes during the Vans BMX pro Cup series. Josh’s style of riding fits real good with the Flybikes team, so we’re stoked to see this and what comes from this in the future!

“Ever since we first saw Josh Dove’s riding, we were blown away with his talent and style. Over the the last year, we had the chance to hang out with him and become good friends, especially with Sergio, loving his riding and attitude off the bike as well. Josh has been doing his own thing over the last month and during this time, things evolved naturally and Josh is now officially apart of the Flybikes family. We can’t be more stoked about this! Good times ahead for sure!” – Flybikes

Flybikes – Unexpected Indoor Session

Leave a Comment

This past summer most of the Flybikes team got together at their warehouse in Spain to spend some time cruising the local parks and getting some work done designing new products for the future. They caught a few days of sunshine, then the rain hit and they decided to convert the warehouse into their own indoor park! This video is a mix of footage from the nice days and the rainy days, and despite not the best weather, this video turned out real good!

Also, it’s cool to see the Coastin ramp get put to good use again! Check out How-To Build the Coastin’ Ramp if you’re interested!

“This past August after most of the team spent the weekend at the annual O Marisquiño contest in Vigo, Spain, we decided to have the team at our warehouse to spend some time working on new products and to have some fun on our bikes at some of the amazing local parks! We had a few good days of sunshine, then the rain started and we unexpectedly had to get creative to keep the fun going. We turned our warehouse into a spot to ride with ramps and ledges to ride! Here’s what Sergio Layos, Courage Adams, Teresa Azcoaga, Ruben Alcantara, Sem Kok and Pitu got into during the visit! Unfortunately Devon Smillie and Larry Edgar weren’t able to be here with us due to scheduling!

Despite a little rain, we still managed to have a great time! Enjoy!
