The entry level Hi Tensile Steel complete BMX bike game has been buzzing a lot lately and it doesn’t look like it’s gonna end any time soon. Especially when you can’t tell the difference between a Hi Tensile bike from a Chromoly bike…. And with that said the folks at Eastern Bikes made a really dope one called the “Talisman”. We’re all about the looks and performance of bike and even though this is basically a black frame with yellow decals, it’s the big, bold branding on the tires that make this bike stick out. All the colorful tires in BMX are really helping to enhance the look of the bikes. We’re so glad that the industry is slowly getting out of that boring “No Decal”, “all black” era. Anyways peep the stats on the Talisman below
