You can feel the breeze and the sun on your face (Vitamin D). Hyper Bikes is a catchall phrase used to describe Hybrid Bicycles, which are preferred by urban cyclists for their ability to tread effortlessly on city trails and off-road ones. The rule of thumb in the world of biking is that if it’s cheap, it’s probably not worth it. View your cart to change product quantities, apply deal codes, or checkout.
For years, they focused solely on BMX Bikes and racing bike components. Eventually, they veered into mountain bikes and commuter-specific bikes, which are now sold through Walmart in the USA & Canada. You are unique, so why ride the same bike as everyone else? Our frames and wheelsets give you the perfect starting point for a unique one-off bike build. Move effortlessly between sport and commuter position and experience two bikes for the price of one.
A brand may hop between four or five owners over the course of a decade. There are various reasons for this, but generally it involves an acquisition of one company by another, or the previous owner losing it in an all-night poker game after the NORA Cup (ok, maybe not so much the second one–usually it’s not poker). Along with his acquisition of hyper bicycles the Answer BMX brand, John Sawyer also took possession of the Strength BMX brand (you may remember that name from the Luke Wilson/Bubba Harris era, as Bubba was aboard a Strength prototype during his most recent time in the Answer uniform). And finally, there will be an Answer brake set in both pro and mini sizes, with a cool-as-ice-cream lever.
We saw Donny riding through the parking lot on Friday afternoon in Guthrie. He had just finished the first in a series of talks at middle schools as part of the Donny Robinson “In Motion” Mentoring Program. We had been aware of the program, and the visit, by keeping up with Donny’s Twitter updates. Yess is bringing the above expert fork to market, and is currently working hyper bicycles to make some design refinements to the traditional Yess Pro-Sized fork. Shown in Expert size on the demo bike of Justin Hailey, the expert Yess fork is made of 7005 aluminum, weighs 410 grams and will retail for under $150. Stock finishes will be matte black and gloss white, but as noted above in-house powder coating allows Yess to do custom frame-fork color pairings.
Another great day for , announcing the addition of what has to be the most prolific brother-sister duo in BMX history. Lain & Kelsey Van Ogle have reached an agreement to be part of the Factory Hyper Team. Their resume includes an incredible four UCI World titles, an ABA National #1 Amateur and 21 N.A.G. #1 titles. Hyper Bicycles is looking forward to helping Lain & Kelsey add to their collection of titles, with the brand new design frame for 2012. Plaintiff’s approach hews more closely to precedent, especially that of this district.
John and Ryan are bringing Strength back to life for 2012, via an innovative frame constructed out of magnesium. You old schoolers will remember that magnesium has been used a few times in BMX racing’s history–most famously in the breakthrough Mongoose Motomags of the 1970s and 80s. John Sawyer and Ryan Birk welcomed customers and media into a private hospitality suite, where their plans for 2012 were discussed openly and freely, and with a “this is gonna be AWESOME” kind of energy. It’s remarkable that, only 12 months ago, a chance meeting on the way out of the show was what brought John into the then-ailing Answer BMX picture as its new owner. Barely 365 days later, it could not be a more different situation, and THAT is one of the wonders of the face-to-face business that is done at conferences like Interbike. Notwithstanding the seemingly-valid argument on seeing the new products via Skype, that last point should not be minimized in any way.
