Interbike 2016 – S&M, Fit Bike Co. & United

September 21, 2016

Keeping on moving! We made a stop over at the S&M Bikes, Fit Bike Co. and United Bike Co. booth to take a look at what they had on display. There was literally a ton of bikes to see, making it a little tricky to check out all the bikes, so we suggest you check out the 2017 Fit Bike Co. completes separately to make sure you can see them all.

Here’s a custom build using the new green color for the Jordan Hango signature Hangman frame! Digging that green.

Another custom build. This time with the Morgan Long signature Hoodbird Frame!

Custom build with Mike Hoder’s signature BTM frame in a fresh new blue color.

Custom S&M CCR build to match Clint Reynolds’ bike!

The new T/A Tire with the big Fit Bike Co. font on the sidewall.

We weren’t kidding when we said there were a TON of bikes on display. If you want to get a closer look, check out the 2017 Fit Bike Co. completes here!

The S&M Slide Pipe setup for a session.

New purple parts from S&M coming soon!

Not the best photo since they are in the case, but United have some new pads coming to help keep you rolling without as much pain.

The Mike Escamilla Caveman frame from United! This frame has an integrated bash guard that looks real interesting. We’re curious to see how this one does since the bash guard has been tried a few different times in the past and has struggled to take off, but maybe this will do it finally?

Tom Hooper colorway from United. Really digging this wrap.

The latest version of Nathan Williams’ Mothership frame from United.

S&M are working on something real interesting… She might not be very pretty (and pretty dirty from the outdoor demo), but this is something we’ll want to keep an eye on. If you’re looking for a MTB Dirt Jumper… This might just be for you.

So, that wraps up the S&M Bikes, Fit Bike Co. and United Bike Co. booth at Interbike 2016 booth. There’s definitely plenty to see from this one between the three brands.

Christian Rigal Talks “Still United”

August 2, 2016

It’s always crazy how much goes into a video part that you would never know just watching the video. Christian Rigal sat down to talk about some of the different aspects of United‘s latest DVD release, “Still United”! Hit play to get some insight, along with some bonus footage from the filming missions!

“If you’ve been a clever person and watched ‘Still United’ already then you’ll know how savage Christian Rigal’s section turned out. If you haven’t seen it yet then first off, more fool you, and secondly it consists of some terrifyingly large handrails. His part really is heavy, heavy stuff. We thought we’d ask the man himself how it all went down, some highlights, the low points and more. Unreal! Make sure you catch the other episodes of ‘Sections’ once you’re done.

Look for a 48hr exclusive of Christian’s ‘Still United’ part on DIGBMX.com and the all new DIG BMX app on August 3-4th 2016.” – DIG

United Bike Co. – 2017 KF22 Complete Bike

July 29, 2016

We have been hearing more and more about 22″ bikes and it looks like a few brands will be adding a 22″ bike to their line ups for 2017. We caught wind that United have been working with Kye Forte on a signature 22″ bike a little while back, and it looks like it’s finally hitting BMX shops and mail-orders that carry United worldwide now. Above is a quick promo where Kye talks a little bit about the bike with a few riding clips mixed in for good measure. Below, you can find full specs and details on the bike with a full parts list and photos! Check it!

“Long time UNITED pro Kye Forte has always been one for doing things his way and in this, his 10th year with United, he still isn’t afraid to go against the BMX norm and mix things up.

Here’s a closer look at his brand new 22′ United KF22 2017 Complete bike and some thoughts about the place of 22″ bikes in BMX today. As ever, Kye doesn’t hold back on or off the bike.
