The Most Expensive Complete BMX Bike For 2016?
Have you ever had a random question pop up in your head right when you’re trying to go to bed, and you end up thinking about it so much that you end up pulling out your phone and doing some research online? Last night, not sure why, but the question “I wonder what the most expensive complete BMX bike is for 2016?” came to mind and it stuck to me. We had a pretty decent idea of a few of the higher end bikes, but were still curious to know. So, after a couple searches on a few different retailers and it was pretty easy to figure out just what bike holds the highest price tag for this year.
Traditionally, complete BMX bikes are thought of as inexpensive bikes that are designed for the entry to mid-level rider that isn’t quite ready to go all in on a custom after market build that pretty much every experienced rider owns. Over the course of the past few years, with the progression of the quality of complete bikes, we’ve seen some really dialed higher end bikes pop up on pretty much every company’s list of options for bikes they offer.
Although BMX bikes don’t cost anywhere near what some high end road and mountain bikes cost (You could buy about 13 of the most expensive BMX bikes for the price of one of the high end road bikes that are available — and that’s not even top of the line), it’s still a pretty interesting number.
What did we find out? Well, although it was some what close with a few other bikes (Not including race bikes, which have a few options more expensive than the freestyle bikes), the 2016 Wethepeople Envy beats out the Dennis Enarson signature Haro SD V2, Chad Kerley signature Premium CK and Sunday Bikes Gary Young signature Soundwave complete by about $100. The Envy comes in at $1,099.99 and it comes fully loaded. The next question that came to mind, if we parted out the most expensive bike since it’s mostly after market parts from Wethepeople and Eclat, what would the total cost be? Let’s find out…
We also decided to find out what the most expensive custom built bike would be. Check that out here: The Most Expensive Custom BMX Bike?

Wethepeople – “Lit”
Wethepeople have just released their full-length “LIT” BMX video online for your viewing pleasure. This 24-minute long video is a mix of footage from their team riders from pro to flow getting down on some of their local spots. You can find riding from Dan Foley, Jordan Godwin, Ed Zunda, Mike Curley, Dan Kruk, Dima Prykhodko, Jared Chilko, Jordan Waters, Max Gaertig, Moritz Nussbaumer and more! This is one BMX video that’s filled with heat from start to finish! Kick back and enjoy!
“The months that follow summer in Europe are always a struggle to get clips, you always feel like you are fighting off the winter and everyday of sunshine could be your last. We set about filming for LIT early October and the mission was kind of simple: Every rider had 2 months to film what they could and then send the final clips to me to edit towards the end of November. Injuries hit a few of the guys, the weather crept up sooner on some but everyone came through with some great footage. When I sat down and threw the clips together I realised this was going to be a 20 + minute thing and immediately started to stress about where to even start with the editing. Mix tapes are just what they say on the label, a mix of clips from all over thrown into the pot. If there’s one thing I’m hyped on it’s the fact that we as a brand have an awesome squad both in Europe and across the globe and this video represented the crew just perfect in my opinion. It also made the slow winding down process that winter brings a little bit more creative. Thanks to every rider who contributed clips and every filmer who stuck it out in the cold to contribute.” – Wethepeople
