FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

After visiting the Eurobike show in Germany we had a good feeling about the 2011 BMX bikes. Things looked on point but we traveled to the United States of America to see what's new over there. At the Interbike trade show we spotted a comeback of parts we thought had disappeared. We noted that the 1" stem was back. It all makes sense because you can just raise the bars to the height you like. Also the laidback seatpost made a return, simply because it gives you more comfort when you ride to the next spot. V-brakes on the front? hell yeah! These babies work and will get you in endo position without having to look for a curb. A low standover height on the frame gives you that extra benefit when doing cancans. We saw several of those new frames in the 2011 line. You've been sick of bending your wheels, right? Say welcome back 48 spoked wheels. We've gathered some pictures of the bikes that will be in the shops shortly. We even had to sneak in some booths to get the right photo. We're sure you haven't seen these pics in all the other online reports.  Interbike 2011 was interesting to say the least.
