The 'Dirt Finals' which will take place on Saturday night during the BMX Worlds from July 13th – 15th 2012 in Cologne are perhaps one of the most anticipated highlights. Everyone who has already enjoyed the scenery in previous years knows why.... The world´s best Dirt Riders will know how to work the Set-Up to deliver the expected; “Big Tricks”! Markus Hampl and Benni Paulsen are in charge of a proper line and prove once more that they are the Top-Shapers in business.

From the launch tower the guys will hit the first 33 foot gap to go straight on the 20 foot Step-Up Kicker, then through the Speed Turn towards the Step-Down, hopefully ending up with enough speed to pull out a banger on the last kicker.

We are happy to say that with two month to go a lot of top-notch riders from all over the world are already confirmed. Some US boys like Anthony Napolitan, Pat Casey and Cory Nastazio have registered and will be joined by the European elite around JB Peytavit, Simon Moratz and Markus Hampl.

Stereo Bikes have got a new Iron out called the "Exploaded" This one piece of a brewed 4130 chromoly took them nearly a year to develop. With street in mind of course, with higher standover and long rear end. This gives you quite a lot of room to ride anywhere and every ledge out there. Hop onto it and love it. A lot of custom work went into this piece, just check the custom cnc "bomb" seatbridge or custom mid bb, wider room for fattys is also a fact. The Ovalized chainstays and tapered seatstays save some weight and gives the rear end strength. Also the colors are the shit: matt trans black, matt raw, and matt black, so see 'em at your finest stereo bike co. dealer nationwide.

Check the specs and see what you get:
