Marshawn Lynch, renowned for his powerful runs on the football field and Super Bowl victory, carries a deep-seated passion for BMX that predates his NFL stardom. This love for BMX culture and aggressive riding fueled the creation of the Beast Mode Ripper, a unique 27.5″+ BMX bike designed to dominate. This isn’t just any bike; it’s a statement, embodying the Beast Mode mentality in every weld and component.
The Genesis of a Beast: From Gridiron to Grind Rails
The Beast Mode Ripper emerged from a collaboration with Marshawn Lynch about five years ago, born from a vision to craft a bike as formidable as its namesake. The goal was clear: to engineer a “dope ass bike” capable of taking on any challenge. The result is a groundbreaking machine – the world’s first 27.5″+ BMX bike, built to conquer streets, trails, and anything in between.
Built for Beast Mode Performance
This bike lives up to its name with a robust construction centered around a 6066 aluminum frame. This frame, featuring Floval tubing and a symmetrical Looptail rear end, is engineered for strength and responsiveness. Paired with full Cr-Mo Landing Gear forks, the Beast Mode Ripper provides a solid and reliable foundation for aggressive riding. Rolling on oversized 27.5” x 3.0” Vee Tire Co Speedster tires, this bike offers exceptional grip and stability, ensuring you stay planted whether you’re cruising the neighborhood or hitting jumps.
Stopping power is crucial, and the Beast Mode Ripper doesn’t compromise. Avid BB5 mechanical disc brakes, both front and rear, deliver reliable and consistent braking performance. These brakes are easily adjustable, providing confidence and control in various riding conditions.
