Dillon Lloyd's talents are pretty obvious and having just dropped another incredible new section on Saturday we figured we'd give you a closer look at what he's riding. WTP noticed long ago Dillon needs a good solid whip underneath him and set about getting the BUCK signature line prepped for him. Peep below what this French Canadian beast puts his name on and look out for these products worldwide.
BUCK Frame
Designed with the burly street rider in mind, the BUCK is built to handle the biggest drops and rails. Dillon requested a steeper 75.5 degree head tube, and taller 11.8" BB. WTP clearly believe in their products and offer a lifetime guarantee with the frame for peace of mind.

- Toptube lenghts: 20.75", 21 "or 21.3" TT

BUCK Bars
The BUCK bars come with an interesting 25.4mm oversized clamping area is certainly an eye-catcher. This is supposed to create a stronger and stiffer bar which Dillon is much in need of! Note though that if you wish to run the 25.4mm bar you'll need to run the WTP Hydra stem, if not the BUCK bar is also available in the regular clamping size. WTP knows what they're doing when it comes to producing quality parts though so when they saw what Dillon was getting up to they made sure he was wrapping his palms round something rugged!

- Tubing: 7/8” multiple butted
- Rise: 9.15"
- Width: 29"

Please Note: The 25.4mm Buck bars are only compatible with 25.4mm bore stems, including the WTP Hydra 25,4mm stem.
Dill Pickle Pegs
It seems WeThePeople have a real knack for handing Dillon Lloyd some of the best product names out there.
