Perry Kramer PK Ripper 27,5" review. The Perry Kramer signature bike is a great wheelie bike it's very stable and has some great parts on it. The thing that I like the most are the hydraulic brakes, they work very well and you don’t have to pull that hard to brake which means that you can wheelie longer. The other thing that I like is the color way, the silver and black is really nice and gives the bike a clean look.

Installing it was easy, after about 20 minutes the bike was ready to go. The only thing that I didn’t like were the Oakley grips. They look cool but after a full
session you can see the pattern in your hand. But that’s a minor thing, after some sessions they get softer and more comfortable.

The 27,5 wheels are great for shorter riders even if you are an adult you could raise the seat up and would be able to wheelie easy. The tires are very grippy even with a lot of pressure in it.

The pads on the bike make the bike complete. The Perry Kramer detail is a nice touch to them. I had many questions if I wanted to sell them but declined them all. Other people like them too as you can hear.

Perry Kramer wanted a mix of old school and new school. He did that by putting an FSA integrated headset and a fully SE Racing forged alloy 2-piece cranks with 24mm hollow alloy spindle, external sealed bearing bottom bracket and alloy chainring.

Another option I like is that you get a full kit so that you can make your tires tubeless. I personally haven’t done that yet but if you’re going to a ride out I would recommend it so you don’t get a flat tire during the ride.

In all words it’s a great bike and I would recommend buying it.
