John and Ryan are bringing Strength back to life for 2012, via an innovative frame constructed out of magnesium. You old schoolers will remember that magnesium has been used a few times in BMX racing’s history–most famously in the breakthrough Mongoose Motomags of the 1970s and 80s. John Sawyer and Ryan Birk welcomed customers and media into a private hospitality suite, where their plans for 2012 were discussed openly and freely, and with a “this is gonna be AWESOME” kind of energy. It’s remarkable that, only 12 months ago, a chance meeting on the way out of the show was what brought John into the then-ailing Answer BMX picture as its new owner. Barely 365 days later, it could not be a more different situation, and THAT is one of the wonders of the face-to-face business that is done at conferences like Interbike. Notwithstanding the seemingly-valid argument on seeing the new products via Skype, that last point should not be minimized in any way.
For years, they focused solely on BMX Bikes and racing bike components. Eventually, they veered into mountain bikes and commuter-specific bikes, which are now sold through Walmart in the USA & Canada. You are unique, so why ride the same bike as everyone else? Our frames and wheelsets give you the perfect starting point for a unique one-off bike build. Move effortlessly between sport and commuter position and experience two bikes for the price of one.
Additionally, after riding them in the mountains, I noted that I didn’t get any wheel wobbles descending. Since I had no issues in wind or descending, I decided to go with the Winspace Lun wheels, which were light enough for climbing, and stellar for riding solo. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a national champion, our latest hyper bicycles wheels are designed to help you achieve your cycling goals. Lightweight carbon spokes, wind-cheating filament wound rims, and silky smooth ceramic bearing hubs all combine to create the ultimate race-winning wheelset.

All the freestyle goodies popular with that crowd, as well as the Elite hubs and classic Profile chromo cranks that racers of all ages put on their Santa list. While still hangin with Bill, we got some skinny on the weight-loss plan the 2012 Envy will be showin when it hits the track soon. Envy will stay at $499 for anodized colors and $549 for the mirror-polish (sunglasses not included).
But if this is the first time you are going to hop on a bicycle, then there’s a real risk of an injury or a mishap. The Pandemic has single-handedly managed to revive cycling as a mainstream mobility option. Cycling blows your rigorous everyday commute out of the water. It lets you get outdoors and connect with the environment.
