BMX Pro Nigel Sylvester linked up with luxury travel bag and accessories company RIMOWA for a first of its kind BMX travel case.
It’s a custom conceptual piece, exclusivly designed for Nigel who’s always traveling around the world with his bike. With the growing popularity of BMX on all levels, RIMOWA collaborated with Sylvester and his expertise to create a BMX specific travel case. RIMOWA retains it’s signature, groove design on the one off aluminum case. It also features a little tool box inside.
The folks at RIMOWA understand that there is currently a gap in the industry for providing a contemporary and sleek solution for BMX travelers. So they’re hoping to expand its product line with the first-ever BMX specific bike case. Hopefully they’ll make case sizes for the longer BMX racing bikes and 24-29 BMX size bikes.
Nigel Says:
“For years I’ve traveled the globe with my BMX bike via a repurposed golf travel bag. Not by choice, but because the options are limited in my sport.”
“I desired a more designed-forward solution, and realized there was a void. I connected with the RIMOWA team over a year ago with the intention to create the bike case of the future. They assembled a dream team of designers and after many iterations, countless design sessions, we designed the first-ever RIMOWA BMX travel case.”
“Im grateful and honored for the trust that my favorite luggage brand put in me to help co-design this innovative concept case. This is only the beginning of more to come.”
“@rimowa has officially put their stamp on BMX”

SIDE BAR: Is Specialzed making quality BMX bikes again? Or is that just a one off custom build for Nigel?
