Over the years, BMX bike trends have changed quite a bit. Originally made for off-road riding and dirt jumping, BMX bikes started gaining popularity as pros started using them to show off their talents at skateparks. Our previous collab with The Shadow Conspiracy featured a 20″ bike, which reigned supreme and were the go-to bike for any pro. Their small wheelbases made them ideal to evolve their tricklist. But their lack of breaks and uncomfortable seats weren’t ideal for cruising or long bike rides. The 26″ bike became the next trend as bike crews started to pop up around NY and Philly.
“The great thing about a 26-inch is that it reaches a broader audience, and we wanted … to be about people riding together. It’s a big, comfortable BMX bike that makes it easy to cruise.” Read the full article here.
The Hundreds X The Shadow Conspiracy collab is available now. View the bike up close and personal in our Online Shop or through our mobile app with our new AR feature. You can view/cop the entire collab here.
