SE Bicycles Dirt Flyer
Retired BMX pro Todd 'The Wildman' Lyons is the head honcho at SE bikes, and it's hard to say if he was more recognizable in the 90's for his unpredictable mid-race backflips or impeccable dreadlocks. Alongside an impressive BMX racing career, The Wildman dabbled in dual slalom racing, so he had considerable input on the SE Dirt Flyer -- a mountain bike designed by BMX riders. What does this combo look like? Well, you get the gearing of a mountain bike, a suspension fork for versatility, and the BMX-twist of a strong frame and responsive geometry. Go ahead, get wild, and make Todd proud.
For the construction of the Dirt Flyer frame, SE employed 6061 aluminum alloy, both for its durability and relatively light overall weight. And since construction is only one part of the puzzle, the geometry on the Dirt Flyer is focused on fun. The 22-inch top tube fits a wide range of riders. This keeps it responsive, whether you're ripping berms or hitting jumps. However, regardless of how you decide to pick-up speed, the Dirt Flyer's 69 degree head tube angle is steep enough to keep the handling precise, while still being slack enough to provide stability when you're hauling the mail. The 12.25-inch bottom bracket height provides plenty of pump, but is still low enough to feel planted in the turns. And, on top of this, short, 16-inch chainstays make locked-in manuals a breeze.
To keep your front wheel in check, the Dirt Flyer's Suntour SF7 DJ fork gets 100mm of travel, which is just enough to take the edge off of trail chatter or cased jumps. Tektro's Auriga Comp brakes handle stopping duties for both wheels, and Truvativ Ruktion cranks are strong enough for almost anything that you're able to throw at them. The drivetrain is a durable Shimano blend of Acera shifters and front derailleur, and an Alivio rear derailleur to get you to the top of your favorite trails. The cockpit is comprised of SE handlebars, stem, and saddle, which are designed to cope with the type of riding that the Dirt Flyer is made for. As for the wheelset, the Dirt Flyer rolls on SE hubs that're built to Weinmann double-wall rims. And to prime the wheels for hard landings and rough trails, SE cased them in Kenda Krad tires.
The SE Bikes Dirt Flyer is available in one size and in the color Hip Hop Blue.
