Many people might not know what, who and where ABD is from. ABD stands for Avanti BMX Development. Avanti is a bike major bike player in New Zealand and Australia. They have a very strong product line, combining rider feedback with the experience and knowledge of a development team to produce a range of innovative bikes taking on the world. Looking at how the company started was from the boom of BMX in the 80's. The name Supersport was a well known name in BMX, with a BMX team of riders travelling the country promoting BMX.

Avanti with the future of BMX now in the Olympics started the ABD BMX brand 4 years ago and have continued to prove themselves in the street and on the track.

If you had noticed what bike Sarah Walker of New Zealand was riding to her win in Elite Women Cruiser and second in Elite Women it was an ABD bike.

With a design team pushing the limits of bicycle engineering along with Richard Mclachlan 8x National Champion in New Zealand behind some of the critical design features you can expect only the best from the ABD range.

The new team for 2008 are Sarah Walker, Michael Fenwick, Matt Willoughby, Victoria Hill, Rhys Telford, Shane Eddy and Richard Mclachlan. This team of up and comers are looking to prove themselves on the world stage and ABD is supporting them all the way.

Team Issue Frame - As raced by the ABD BMX Team, this bike is the ultimate bike to have on the track as demonstrated by Sarah Walker who became a world champion on her ABD cruiser frame in Canada, out classing all in her race by leading from start to finish.

The team will be active at all major BMX events around NZ and Australia and will be sure to make their mark as they continue to develop their skills and refine their techniques, all while being backed by ABD.
