2012
Every year we try our very best to regenerate ourselves by improving our range and producing new ideas, but with the 2012 line we have definitely stepped this up. Along with many improvements on current products, we are releasing our very waited complete bike line and more new technologies and innovations for the BMX world. We are proud to present you the best line in the history of Flybikes.

complete bikes Flybikes made complete bikes in the early days of the brand, until we realized that we could not offer the quality and price that we wanted. So this is why we decided to focus on high quality parts until we could offer this quality on all the complete bikes. By 2009, at the same time as our 10th anniversary, we have managed to develop every single part on a BMX bike. Some of them released, some of them were still at the prototype stage. During these years it gave us the knowledge and experience that we needed to achieve our goals with the complete bikes. The concept Flybikes offer several different lines with the personality and concept of it’s own. Tierra line, Montaùa line, Ruben line... Following this concept, we have created the Trebol line. The Flybikes complete bikes line. Every rider is different; Small riders, big riders, tech riders and trails riders..., So instead of offering a large range all with different prices, our line focuses on one price range with three different bike geometries. Three types of bikes to please every kind of rider. The parts As we do with all our parts, we have designed almost every single component on these completes. Along with the frames, forks, bars and the Ruben parts, we have developed a whole line of Trebol parts using the proven Flybikes designs and an extreme attention to detail.

Innovation Following our innovation path, the Trebol completes will release our new Tripod seat system and the Ahanger. The Tripod seat system combines the weight of a one-piece seat with a two-position adjustability and an extremely strong structure. The Ahanger makes the brake adjustment far too easy with the zero flex performance.

With a 19.6” tt, tight 12.8” rear end, 8” bars and short 25mm. offset forks, the Electron is the perfect bike for small riders and riders looking for a fun small bike.
