Insight: Kink – 2015 Complete Bikes
There’s something about BMX that is pretty awesome to watch and that is the evolution of the quality that it is producing. Everything from the riding and videos to the products that brands are producing are getting better and better. Anyone who has spent a number of years riding BMX will tell you that complete bikes now days are a million times better than the bikes that they were on when they first started. It’s been pretty amazing watching things change over the years and there’s without a doubt that this year we’ve seen some of the most impressive bikes yet.
The guys over at Kink have released their new 2015 bikes worldwide and just looking at all 13 of the bikes they cooked up for this year, it’s easy to see they’ve put a lot of time and effort into their new range. We were thinking about how much goes into creating these bikes, so we figured it would be cool to catch up with Kink’s product manager, Matt Antes, to talk about what it took to get the bikes from the initial idea to the final product that you can pick up in the shop now! Let’s take a look and see what he had to say!
