Bob Haro, known as the “Father of Freestyle”, is paying tribute to the sport he pioneered with his new IKONIX limited edition 30th Anniversary BMX Freestyle bike. Drawing on a legacy of design and performance, these bikes will be the ultimate tribute to thirty years of BMX freestyle innovation and style with only 540 premium-crafted bikes being produced for release in summer 2012.
“2012 marks three decades since I created the first bike for freestyle riding. I’m still a BMXer at heart, so I am proud and amazed by where other riders have taken it over the years,” said Bob Haro.
