For fifteen years, the Se Bikes So Cal Flyer has been a staple in the SE Bikes lineup, and for good reason. This bike isn’t just about looks; it’s built for performance and designed for riders who want to take their BMX skills to the next level. Whether you’re hitting the streets or the skatepark, the So Cal Flyer 24” is engineered to help you raise it up and push your limits.
Built around a lightweight 6061 aluminum Floval tubing frame, the So Cal Flyer is both responsive and durable. The frame’s design incorporates modern features like an internal headset and a sealed bearing mid-bottom bracket, which contribute to a stiffer, more efficient ride and reduced maintenance. The wide rear stays provide ample tire clearance and add to the frame’s overall strength, ensuring it can handle the stresses of aggressive riding.
Key Features That Set the So Cal Flyer Apart
-
Lightweight Floval Tubing Frame: The heart of the So Cal Flyer is its 6061 aluminum Floval tubing frame. This material provides an excellent balance of strength and weight, making the bike easy to maneuver and control, whether you’re pulling off tricks or cruising the neighborhood. The internal headset not only provides a clean look but also enhances durability and steering precision.
-
Robust Wheelset for Street and Park: Equipped with double-wall rims laced to alloy hubs, the wheelset is built to withstand the impacts of street and park riding. Double-wall rims offer increased strength and durability compared to single-wall rims, crucial for landing jumps and tricks. The alloy hubs are lightweight and provide smooth rolling performance.
-
SE Bozack 24” x 2.4” Tires: The SE Bozack tires are designed to offer excellent grip and cushioning. Their 2.4” width provides a larger contact patch with the ground, increasing traction and stability. The “Street Proven Multi-Purpose Compound” and “Wrap Around Urban Tread Pattern” ensure confident handling on various surfaces, from smooth pavement to rougher street terrain. The inclusion of the grooved SE Wing Logo adds a stylish touch to these performance-oriented tires.
-
Raise It Up! Seat: Comfort and style are combined in the Raise It Up! seat. The “super grippy top cover” is a practical feature, providing enhanced grip and control during tricks and maneuvers where seat grabs are involved. This seat is designed to be both functional and visually appealing, complementing the overall aesthetics of the So Cal Flyer.
-
SE Bike Life Grips and Retro Stem: The SE Bike Life grips with rubber end plugs offer comfortable and secure hand positioning. The flangeless mushroom wing design is popular among BMX riders for its feel and control. Paired with a retro top-load stem, which features a hidden top cap for a clean aesthetic, the handlebar setup is both functional and stylish, reflecting the bike’s blend of modern and classic BMX design elements.
-
Reliable Cranks and Pedals: The 3-piece tubular cranks, coupled with a custom SE Racing sprocket, provide a solid and efficient drivetrain. The 3-piece design enhances strength and durability, while the custom SE Racing sprocket adds a signature touch. SE nylon fiber pedals are lightweight and offer good grip, providing a reliable platform for pedaling and tricks.
-
Wheelie Pegs and Alloy Valve Caps Included: The inclusion of SE Wheelie pegs right out of the box is a testament to the So Cal Flyer’s focus on street riding and trick capabilities. These pegs allow riders to expand their trick repertoire and are a welcome addition for those looking to perform wheelies and other street maneuvers. Alloy valve caps are a small but quality detail, adding a touch of refinement to the bike’s components.
