Grips for Ultimate Control and Feel
When it comes to bike control, grips are a crucial point of contact. S&M Bikes understands this, offering grips designed with rider input and performance in mind. The Reynolds Grip, championed by Clint Reynolds, is a testament to this philosophy. Clint himself highlights how these grips are tailored to his preferences, being slightly smaller in diameter and shorter in length than many modern street grips. Made in the USA by ODI, the Reynolds Grip uses a super soft and grippy rubber compound, ensuring maximum feel and control. For riders seeking a grip trusted by a pro, the Reynolds Grip is an excellent choice.
Another popular option is the Hoder Grip. These grips, associated with Mike Hoder, are known for their quality and performance. In fact, S&M Bikes even ran a “Prezident’s Day Promo” offering a free pair of Hoder Grips, emphasizing their value and desirability within the BMX community. Made in the USA and available in various colors, including new blue and red options, the Hoder Grip is a solid choice for riders looking for reliable and comfortable grips.
Handlebars Built for Rad Rides and Street Durability
Handlebars are at the heart of BMX bike handling, and S&M Bikes offers a range of bars to suit different riding styles and preferences. For those seeking a signature style, the SAND BAR, designed for Dave Krone, delivers radical performance. These signature bars are built for riders who push boundaries, just like Dave Krone himself. Available at BMX retailers, the SAND BAR is a statement piece that combines style and strength.
Chris Childs’ No Exit Bar is another standout handlebar option from S&M Bikes. Chris, an East Coast street riding icon, designed the No Exit bar with a focus on strength and classic BMX angles. Slightly narrower than the Hoder High Bar, the No Exit is perfect for riders who appreciate clicked turndowns and precise handling. Made from 4130 CrMo steel, these bars balance weight and durability, making them a reliable choice for demanding street riders.
Rails and Obstacles for Street Domination
Street riding often involves tackling rails and other urban obstacles. S&M Bikes’ Slidepipe V2 is specifically engineered for this purpose. This heavy-duty, portable BMX rail is designed to withstand the punishment of even the most aggressive street riders. Features like oversized steel bases, commercial-grade rubber feet for stability, and square steel tubing uprights ensure the Slidepipe V2 remains firmly in place and resists twisting. The super-strong center connector with reinforced spine adds further durability. Available in both adjustable and non-adjustable versions, the Slidepipe V2 is an essential piece of equipment for street riders looking to hone their rail skills.
Frames and Decks for Every Style of Riding
S&M Bikes caters to diverse riding styles with frames and decks designed for specific disciplines. The M.O.D. Frame, a signature frame for James P. Nutter, showcases this versatility. Available in unique colorways like the “Raj Dawg,” inspired by Nutter’s dog Raja, the M.O.D. frame blends performance with personality. Whether cruising at 9th Street Austin or hitting ramps, the M.O.D. frame is designed to perform.
For skatepark and pool riders, S&M Bikes offers the Fids Decks. Designed for Fids, a rider known for his skills in both BMX and skateboarding, these signature pool decks are built to handle the demands of skatepark riding. Initially launched in the UK through 4Down, Fids Decks are a testament to S&M Bikes’ commitment to supporting riders across different BMX disciplines.
Stems and Classic Reissues: Honoring BMX Heritage
S&M Bikes also acknowledges its rich history by reissuing classic parts like the REDNECK and SHAFTED REDNECK stems. These retro stems, available in black, green, gold, and red, bring back iconic designs from BMX history. As highlighted in their book “BEHIND THE SHIELD,” S&M Bikes played a significant role in shaping BMX culture, and reissuing parts like the REDNECK stem allows riders to connect with this heritage.
Adding to the retro lineup, the OG SLAM bars are another classic reissue, featuring a chrome finish and the iconic Circle Jerks “Slam dance dude” graphic. These limited-quantity bars are a nod to BMX’s roots and offer riders a chance to own a piece of BMX history.
Apparel to Show Your Brand Loyalty
Beyond bike parts, S&M Bikes offers apparel like their sick shirts. Recognizing the demand for black tees, S&M Bikes provides a range of shirts for fans to represent the brand. With sizes often selling out quickly, these shirts are a popular way for riders to show their loyalty to S&M Bikes.
In conclusion, S&M Bikes provides a comprehensive selection of high-performance BMX components and apparel, catering to various riding styles and preferences. From grips and handlebars to frames, rails, and classic reissues, S&M Bikes continues to innovate while honoring its BMX heritage.
