SE Bikes Ripper X 20" BMX Bike

SE Bikes Ripper X 20 BMX Bike. SE Racing has been engineering BMX race bikes since the late 1970's, and they still operate on the cutting edge of the sport. The Ripper X is a race ready bike for younger riders who are ready to graduate to a 19 top tube because they are taller and heavier, and who need the bike to be a little stronger to accomodate. The Ripper X features SE's 6066 aluminum frame which is custom butted for light weight and excellent power transfer. An alloy Landing Gear fork features a chromoly steer tube for added strength, yet keeps the front light for excellent sprinting and steering response, and a slightly longer top tube than other small Ripper versions 19.5 puts the smaller rider in the correct position to air doubles steadily and safely for their agesizeweight phase. Alloy 3 piece cranks are ultra light, and measure 165mm and are designed to complement the 3815T gear ratio that spares young knees the pressure of adult ratios. Alloy bars, stem, seat post, and brakes all shave precious weight, and Ankle Biter alloy wheels by industry leader Alienation are stiff enough for great pedal response, and tough enough for rough landings and even pileups. A BMX race bike for the young racer who is growing in the sport, not ready for a full sized 20 race bike, serious about competing, training for competition, and getting the experience of riding in optimal race position, the Ripper X brings amazing performance, superior specs, and age appropriate geometry
