The Most Expensive Complete BMX Bike For 2017?

January 18, 2017

Last year we decided to figure out what the most expensive complete Freestyle BMX Bike was for 2016 and it was pretty interesting to see just how much bang you could get for your buck. Now that pretty much all the main BMX brands have their 2017 Complete Bikes available, we figured it would be a good time to do a little research and figure out just who has the most expensive complete bike! Will the guys at Wethepeople be able to hold the crown, or is there a new one taking the top spot? Instead of focusing on just one of the bikes, we decided to do a TOP 5 list leading up to that top spot. To be clear, we are basing this list entirely off what we found for pricing online and took the most common price that we found for the bike across multiple reputable BMX retailers. With that being said, let’s take a look at what bikes made the Top 5!

Haro Bikes taking the 4th most expensive bike spot for 2017 with Dennis Enarson‘s signature 2017 SD V2 complete bike! This one is listed at $989.99 on the Haro website, but we looked around and found most are selling for the $899.99, so we’ll go with that price just to be safe.

This bike is completely loaded with Sunday Bikes and Odyssey parts that you could buy individually, but why would you do that for a price like $999.99?

#1. 2017 Haro Lineage Master Team Complete Bike

Price: $1,259.99

For 2017, we have a TIE for the most expensive complete freestyle BMX bike. Both bikes go to Haro Bikes and their Lineage series Master and Sport complete bikes. Both bikes are based off their 1987 Master and Sport bikes, with a more modern geometry and features like Integrated head tubes, Mid bottom bracket, smaller gearing and more! These bikes might not be as appealing to the younger riders out there, but these bikes will hit home with some of the “older” guys who are still riding or into collecting BMX bikes! These bikes might not be completely decked out with aftermarket parts, but you can get the frames and some of the parts like the cranks, seat, tires and more as aftermarket parts. Regardless, it’s safe to say both of these bikes are worth every penny! Take a look at the details below!

There we have it! The Most Expensive Freestyle BMX Bike for 2017! These bikes are all excellent bikes with a lot of great value whether it be because of the full on aftermarket parts that give you a huge discount after all is said and done, or if it’s for the value of what the bike is as a whole. We would have no trouble recommending any of these bikes to riders, more specifically the advanced guys who put a heavier beating on their bikes. Now, this list is compiled after a good amount of research, but there’s a chance we missed a bike! If we did, let us know in the comments below!

Monster Energy – Mike Varga: Home Turf Evolution

January 16, 2017

We have seen Mike Varga drop hammers on his backyard ramps before, and it’s time to see another BANGER of a video from the ramp courtesy of Monster Energy! This one starts out on the ramp, then Mike hops in the ATV and heads to his personal trails! As always, Mike brings a DEEP bag of tricks from flips and whips to stretched no handers and more! There’s even a few very gnarly NBD’s in there. This is one video you won’t want to pass up!

If you missed the first video, here’s Mike Varga’s Home Turf video from Monster!

“After building the ramp of his dreams, Mike Varga stomped the best edit of his life in the beginning of 2016 with “Home Turf”. Knowing that evolution is the secret to the next step, Mike took zero time off and began redefining his dream. He made his ramp bigger and better. He added trails to his property. And, most importantly, Mike pushed himself to do what was previously considered impossible. Monster Energy is proud to release the latest and greatest from Mike Varga and to congratulate him on landing both the first ever 900 tailwhip and the first ever 1260…”

Sebastian Keep – Jumping Off Bridges On A BMX: The Story Behind “Walls”

January 16, 2017

Sebastian Keep found some very crazy walls to ride for this project…

Here’s what we have been waiting for, for a LOOOOONG time now! The footage of Sebastian Keep doing that insane Gap to Wallride off a bridge for Red Bull has finally made its way online! The Behind the Scenes video just dropped on Tall Order‘s Youtube channel giving you a look at everything that went into making this very, very, very insane idea happen from the gap off the bridge to a bunch of other crazy setups he cooked up! Then Red Bull dropped their “Walls” video that is a short but sweet video packed with banger after banger from all the insane wallrides Bas did. This is absolute MADNESS and a must see!

“ The idea started with lets take 2 small ramps to the city centres to jump off multi storey car parks and bridges land on buildings and wall ride down them. We knew that what we were doing wasn’t exactly legal so we decided to wear high vis jackets and hard hats and try our best to disguise ourselves as road workers so that people would leave us alone and It worked!
The spots we found on Google earth were bigger than we anticipated
and so we tried to build practice set ups to help get used to the gaps.

At the spot in Croydon nobody knew if it was possible to ride down 20 feet of vertical wall and after speaking to various pro riders who didn’t have an answer for us we decided to try it…

This video tells the story of how we rolled into city centres in the early hours disguised as builders with vans holding huge ramps set them up and filmed our attempts at some of the biggest wall rides we have seen.

Please Subscribe and thanks for watching.” Sebastian Keep

“Redefining the concept of street riding, Sebastian ‘Bas’ Keep’s latest project, Walls, takes BMX into uncharted territories.
It’s almost like a new discipline of riding, no one’s really done it before
Sebastian ‘Bas’ Keep
The British BMX legend uses ramps and his creativity to tackle some of the UK’s most inaccessible wallrides, including the project’s death-defying final Croydon spot – an insane 6.5m (22ft) gap to 9.7m (32ft) wallride that made the final ever cover of RideUK back in 2015.
Nearly two years later and the wait is over. Watch the video above to see Bas push the boundaries of what can be achieved in the street environment.”

Red Bull – Sebastian Keep “Walls”

January 16, 2017

The footage from Sebastian Keep‘s INSANE gap to wallride OFF of a bridge is FINALLY online after over a year of waiting due to some legal issues that needed to be cleared up before the footage popped up online! Not only that, but Bas went to work on a a BUNCH of different crazy wallride setups that lead to one phenomenal video! Absolute MUST SEE! Hit play and take in all of the madness!

AFTER you watch this, make sure you watch the BEHIND THE SCENES OF “WALLS” VIDEO that is a 30 minute documentary on everything that went into this!

Check out a PHOTOGALLERY on the Red Bull website as well!

Sunday Bikes – Brett Silva “Grow Up” Section

January 13, 2017

If you didn’t hear by now, Sunday Bikes have given Brett Silva the well deserved bump on up to the Pro Team! If you caught the Grow Up DVD, you would have saw that Brett’s section in the video also doubled as his Welcome to the Pro team video. Well, the guys at Sunday Bikes decided to upload Brett’s section online for everyone to enjoy! It’s safe to say that it’s easy to see just why Brett was given the bump up after you see this video. We HIGHLY suggest you pick up a copy of the full-length video that you can do a Digital Download for $5 or an actual DVD for $10 now.

“A conversation took place a couple of years ago between me and a few Sunday team riders. We were trying to decide if we should add Brett Silva to the team. At the time, it seemed like a great idea, and looking back, it’s crazy to think it was even a question. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – Brett is consistently the most positive and hyped member of the Sunday team (and we’ve got a lot of positive and hyped dudes in the squad). They say hindsight is 20/20, and I can confidently say getting Brett involved with Sunday was a superb decision.

Back in the spring of 2015, when I first asked Brett if he wanted to be on the Sunday AM team, he told me, “There’s nothing I want to do more.” It was the perfect answer, and he wasn’t kidding – Brett’s been beyond stoked to travel and film with Sunday, and it’s easy to tell if you’ve seen his incredible Grow Up part, which you can watch right now at the top of this page.

And now, we’re welcoming Brett to the pro team. It’s a well deserved move for Mr. Silva, and we’re all very excited for him to be an even bigger part of Sunday.” – Walter Pieringer, Sunday TM

Scotty Cranmer WALKS!

January 13, 2017

Here’s one we had a feeling we would be seeing sooner than later after a few of the recent Scotty Cranmer updates. To celebrate his 30th Birthday, his family threw a party at the rehab facility, and Scotty decided to surprise everyone with a look at his latest progress, which is being able to WALK with a walker! So stoked to see the progress Scotty has made since his crash! It’s only a matter of time before he’s back to riding, right?

“It’s Scotty’s B DAY, and we packed a little over 22 people into the rehab center and it was an awesome time. Towards the end Scotty shows us his awesome surprise. Every single day he is becoming a little less paralyzed. I don’t even see him as being paralyzed anymore because of how much progress he has made. Me being there since the day of the crash and Witnessing it, it makes me so happy to see how far he has come in such a short period of time.

Flybikes – Stefan Lantschner “Go With The Flow” Video

January 13, 2017

Here’s one we’ve been waiting for all week! Flybikes dropped their new Stefan Lantschner “Go With The Flow” video online and, as expected, it turned out amazing! Hit play to watch Stefan haul ass and bring a ton of style to the table, with some excellent spots and film work to back it! This is a great watch from start to finish, and definitely not a nibbler jibbler edit.

“No matter what it is that Stefan is doing, whether it’s riding his signature Flybikes Montaña setup, custom Cafe Racer or dirt bike, he’s always going fast and making it look good! For his latest Flybikes video, Stefan takes that speed and style to street spots and skateparks with amazing lines and unique setups that take some effort to ride! Hit play and Go With The Flow!

The Art of the BMX Seat

January 12, 2017

It has been a little while since we’ve taken at the artier (that’s probably not a word) side of BMX. The other day we were bouncing around to see what brands had available for products and we started thinking about all the unique, interesting and crazy BMX seat options that are available. There’s a little bit of everything from funny to clean and simple, multiple colors, screen printed and embroidered designs, embossing and debossing and more. We decided to go around and collect some of the more standout seats and compile them all in one place for you to take a look. Let’s get this started!

Bone Deth Leopard Print

Bone Deth Lizard Print

The Bone Deth crew are no strangers to whacky, weird and unique. Their take on the world is a pretty interesting one filled with leather, green ooze, babes and usually a heavy slam or seven. That translates into their designs and the Leopard print and Lizard print versions of their Vibrator seat lead to two unique BMX seats. Who remembers that fuzzy one they had a while ago?

BSD – Safari Seat
The Reed Stark signature Safari seat from BSD goes well with his series of signature products like his Giraffic bars and the whole Safari series of videos he has been producing. The screen printing giraffe print turned out rad for this one.

Cult – AK Seat
The crew over at Cult aren’t too notorious for excessively colorful or crazy designs, but they have dabbled with some unique colors and designs in the past year or two. The Alex Kennedy signature seat is unique with the sparkle colors and debossed logo. This one might not be super flashy, but there’s some clean design work behind it.

Demolition Parts – Hucker Seat
The Mike “Hucker” Clark signature seat from Demolition Parts is designed with the floral pattern that goes well with Mike’s personality that’s pretty laid back and all about fun. Dude rocks a Hawaiian shirt well. We’ve seen a number of printed designs popping up on seats and it has lead to some interesting designs that we’ll see more of below.

Demolition Parts – Paradise Seat
The Tyler Fernengel signature Paradise seat from Demolition Parts uses a similar printed design, except it features palm trees for this one and a sewn on patch for a little extra touch.

Eclat – Bios Seat
Eclat‘s new Bios seat follows a similar theme with the Hawaii / Beach style theme. This seat features a Pineapples though. It’s pretty interesting what they can come up with for screen printing designs on seats.

Federal Bikes – Mid Royale Seat
The Federal Bikes Mid Royale seat mixes a few different features. The side features a printed camouflage canvas material with a synthetic leather top with an embossed Federal logo that really pops. A good mix of features to make a unique seat.

Fiend – Ty Morrow Seat
The Ty Morrow signautre seat from Fiend utilizes a different fabric that we haven’t seen much of in BMX, corduroy. The seat is pretty clean and straight forward with the 2-panel cover that comes in a few different colors.

Fit Bike Co. – Cafe Seat
The new Cafe Tripod seat seat from Fit Bike Co. features a synthetic leather cover with stitching to give it the look of a Cafe Racer motorcycle seat. We have seen a number of seats that have a motorcycle themed design the past two or so years from Tom Dugan’s signature seat from Odyssey to the Matt Cordova seat from Demolition. We also like the metal badge that comes on the back of the Cafe seat. Nice touch, for sure.

Gt Bicycles – Junk Food Seat
We’ve been really stoked to see some life come back into GT Bicycles since Ben Ward came on board. Their Junk Food seat was originally designed for their 2017 Performer complete, but it was so popular that they decided to release it as just a seat as well. Food seems to have been a theme in BMX seats lately… More on that below.

Kink – Smut Seat
Like we mentioned above, it’s pretty crazy what you can get printed on canvas these days. The “Smut Seat” from Kink is a collage of Pin Up style girls that makes for an interesting seat you gotta take a closer look at to really see all of the detail. This one might not be appropriate for all ages, but it’s pretty damn rad in our book.

Leh Cycling X Tree Bicycle – Custom Crocodile Skin Seat
While looking for different seats to feature in here, our good friend Google popped this custom Tree Bicycle Co. Ergonomic seat that had a custom crocodile leather seat cover made for it by Leh Cycling. Although this seat is a custom “one off”, it’s pretty rad to see. There’s another brand that makes a similar looking seat, but we’re blanking on the name and we believe it’s synthetic leather that looks like crocodile leather. Either way, it’s an interesting seat.

Colony – Nathan Sykes Seat
The latest Nathan Sykes signature seat from Colony mixes a few different features from the diamond stitching pattern to the vinyl edges and then the brown synthetic leather and small Colony tag. Clean, classic style. This is also available in black if the Tan isn’t for you.

Odyssey – Dugan Feather Seat
This seat has been out for a while and we have a feeling will be joining Odyssey‘s list of retired designs, but it was a good candidate for this. The Tom Dugan signature “Feather” seat, which has the screen printed feather design. Tom also has a newer signature seat that uses a design similar to his personal motorcycle’s seat.

Odyssey – Galaxy Seat
Remember about two years ago when the Oil Slick rage turned to the “Galaxy” and “Celestial” rage when Madera released their Celestial colorway for their Hubs, Cranks and Sprockets? Shortly after those dropped, Odyssey released these Galaxy seats to help complete the setup. It’s a little out there (pun intended), but it looks rad.

Profile Racing X Native Bikes Seats
Profile Racing teamed up with James Covington from Native Bikes on some hand made leather seats. These seats might not always look as clean and dialed as some of the seats we saw above made from synthetic leather and machines, but these seats are on a different level. Custom and handmade, making sure no two seats are exactly the same. James has done a TON of custom seats and worked with other brands like Cult in the past as well. If you want a custom seat, we highly suggest you hit him up.

The Shadow Conspiracy – Trey Jones Penumbra Seat
The Penumbra seat series from The Shadow Conspiracy has been a long running line of signature seats for different pro team members. These designs are all unique and influenced by the rider. Above is the Trey Jones signature seat that features a weird cemetery scene with his dog Jesco in the mix. This one might be weird, but it definitely stands out. We’re just surprised it didn’t come in a railed version… Trey made a custom railed version with this cover for his personal setup.

Custom Simpsons Seat
While searching the old Google, we came across this custom seat that features the characters from The Simpsons that turned out rad. We can’t imagine the cost to get rights to making one of these seats and actually sell them, but it wouldn’t be cheap. The custom one off version probably only cost time, haha. Either way, pretty awesome what people come up with. If you have designed your own let us know!

Stolen BMX – Sean Moor STS V2
When it comes to seats that are more Art than seat, this design for Sean Morr‘s signature STS V2 seat would definitely qualify. Black and white, clean and unique design. Could make for a nice wallpaper, too.

Stranger – Augie Simoncini Seat
Another floral seat that stood out is the Augie Simoncini seat from Stranger. This seat uses a similar screen printed design like the ones we saw above, but it still looks unique and stands out.

Stranger – Tie Dye Further Seat
Not to be confused with Sean Ricany’s brand, Further, the Further seat from Stranger comes with this Tie Die canvas cover that turned out pretty psychedelic. Tie dye is one of those interesting color options that we see come and go in BMX fairly frequently time and time again.

Subrosa – Easy Rider Seat
The Hoang Tran signature Easy Rider seat from Subrosa is another example of a motorcycle themed seat. Hoang is a big motorcycle guy, so this one makes complete sense. The clean black synthetic leather paired with a unique stitching pattern and some sparkles makes for a rad design.

Subrosa – Pizza Seat
The Subrosa Pizza seat is Nick Bullen‘s signature seat and a tribute to his love for pizza. This goes well with the Junk Food seat from GT we saw above. The guys at Macneil also gave a similar design a go, but instead of a cartoon version, they just used an actual piece of pizza and screen printed it on. Not sure which one looks tastier… Is it lunch time yet?

Sunday Bikes – Erik Elstran Lazer Shark Seat
Anyone who has crossed paths with Erik Elstran knows that he has a very creative and imaginative mind that produces some amazing things. That translated well when it came to designing a signature seat for Sunday Bikes, because this Dr. Evil inspired Lazer Shark designed mixed with a floral pattern turned out real good.

Sunday Bikes – Water Color Seat
This is another example of a seat that ended up getting a lot of love and ended up becoming an aftermarket part. The Water Color seat from Sunday Bikes originally came on one of their complete bikes, but ended up being sold individually as well. Similar to the tie dye seat we spotted above, it’s a colorful and unique design.

Total BMX – British Flag Seat
There’s no doubt this one will stand out to you if you have ever watched a Mark Webb video. Mark has been running his British Flag seat from Total BMX for a number of years in different variations. We’ve seen a few custom flag covered seats in the past as well, which is always pretty interesting to see.

United – Slim Signature Seat
This seat from United mixes a number of features we have seen in other seats above. It uses an ergonomic design like Tree Bicycle Co.’s seat, a little Corduroy like Ty Morrow’s fiend seat and brown fabric to wrap things up with a debossed logo. Also available in black.

Volume Bikes – Nautical Seat
The Broc Raiford signature Nautical seat from Volume Bikes mixes a tie-die style / acid wash design with a stitched embossed Anchor logo that goes with the rest of Broc’s signature line of products. Definitely a unique look.

Volume – Warhorse Seat
The Demarcus Paul signature Warhorse seat from Volume Bikes is another seat that stands out. It uses a camouflage canvas cover with blacks canvas on the sides, a stitched on logo on the back and a patch up top with the warhorse logo. We haven’t seen as much camo these days, but it’s another one of those color options that have made multiple appearances in BMX over the years.

Wethepeople – Team Seat
Let’s wrap this up with a clean and simple design that we’re sure some of you minimalists love. The Team seat from Wethepeople uses a clean and simple synthetic leather cover with a debossed Wethepeople logo and a stitched on tag of the side. Clean, simple and looks rad. This one also comes in black if you prefer.

So, that wraps it up! We looked at a bunch of different BMX seats here, but we’re sure we missed a few. Let us know in the comments if you have a seat we missed that stands out! We did try to stay on the “currently available” side of things for this one, but we’re open to adding some classics to the list if you have them. Let us know!
