Wethepeople have released their anticipated 2018 Audio 22″ complete bike…
Earlier this year we caught wind that a number of brands were getting into 22″ bikes for 2018 after nearly 15 years since the very first 22″ BMX bike was designed up by the guys at Faction BMX. We made a pretty bold claim that this year would be the year 22″ finally blew up and became a real player in BMX. Now we’re starting to see some of the other brands bikes and it’s pretty clear as to why we feel like that claim was accurate.
Yesterday Wethepeople released their new 2018 Complete Bikes Catalog and as expected they had their new Audio 22″ Complete Bike tucked into the pages. Since we have been curious about the bike since we first caught wind of it, we figured it was a great time to take a closer look at the bike! Let’s get into this…

As expected, Wethepeople built up a dialed bike with a mix of parts from the Wemakethings family of brands (Wethepeople, Eclat, Salt, etc.) with a few new additions to accommodate the larger size like the wheels, rims and fork that come with the bike. Overall, the bike turned out great and it looks like it’s an amazing option for the riders out there looking for something a little bit bigger! The 2018 Audio 22″ Complete Bike is starting to hit BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Wethepeople worldwide now!
