SE Bikes is bringing a new type of bike to the market, It’s the worlds first 27.5 BMX bike! Brand Manger and BMX legend Todd Lyons posted the juicy treat the other day via Facebook and it has everyone talking…. and hating ofcourse lol! Now 27.5 BMX bikes are not new. SE Bikes were the first to make those too. But the difference between those bikes and this new one is the tires are normal size. Up until now, the 27.5 bikes have been either MTB’s, fat bikes or oversized tire bikes. The Beastmode, OM Duro and Maniacc Flyer all have a 27.5” x 3.0”. This new PK Ripper 27.5R comes with 27.5″ x 2.5” tires making the bikes a little lighter and more race ready 😉
You already know there are gonna be a bunch of mixed opinions about this bike but we’re loving all the options that SE is bringing to the table.
Press Release:
The world’s first 27.5 BMX bike. (Not plus sized) I wonder how long ‘till some of these other companies bite our styles and try to copy this one as well.🤷🏽♂️ As they say, “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.” ~Todd Lyons
