Secret Bonus Bikes?
We noticed something interesting when we released the 2013 Aaron Ross PRO Bonus Bike a month or so back. By combining parts from the Bonus Bike with the current Vapor Blue PRO, it was possible to make an all red or all Vapor blue (except the seat) Aaron Ross PRO. Obviously, you would have to be a baller or a bike shop to be able to make these bikes, but if you’re looking for something even more rare than the new Bonus Bike then here’s an idea for you.
Soundwaves in Garrett Gray
We made the Soundwave frame to be the strongest, most durable and best frame we’ve ever offered. It is only fitting to have this new gray a signature colorway for Garrett Reeves who is one of the burliest riders BMX right now. The frame comes with hollow dropouts, built in chain tensioners, Wave DT and TT, Director wishbone, 41 Thermal heat-treating and our legendary Lifetime Warranty. If this can stand up to Garrett’s riding then you know it’s tough. Check the geometry after the break.
