We got another Fate Products BMX bike featured in today’s Bike Of The Day. This time is an aluminum xxxl prototype submitted by Fate owner Matt Kocher! I’m digging the colorway, low profile frame and awesome parts on this build. Be sure to give this bike a rating via the sliders below for the February Bike Of The Month and 2021 Bike Of The Year charts.

This is a Fate Products rat rod AL xxxl prototype frame built with some of the best components out there. So with this build, basically started off with designing a high quality aluminum frame that had all the top of the line features, tapered head tube, adjustable dropouts that accept all axel sizes with built in chain tensioners, 6061 t4/t6 hydro formed and butted tubing. This bike is decked out with Components from Fate, Answer, Remix, Shadow, Maxxis, ODI and Avian.


This build was done at my bmx shop, Gear Head bmx, llc
I’d like to give a shout out to all the riders we support, Ronnie B. And the crew at Sparky’s Distro., Rich & TJ at Tangent, Answer bmx, Dale at Remix, Joey B, Shawn A., Matt S., the Tulsa crew and anyone else that has helped me or influenced me over the years. Thank you.
