This year's offering from the German giants.
25 Jan 2018
Official DIG Partners: WETHEPEOPLE BMX
Remember when you got a complete bike for Christmas and you thought it was the greatest thing in the world, then you went to the park and saw a PRO rider and you soon realised that what you had was nothing short of a cheap and nasty supermarket bike. Well those days are far behind us, WETHEPEOPLE are one of a select group of brands who have been leading the way in giving that stereotype of crappy complete bikes a real good kick in the rear end.
Boasting one of the most dynamic and characteristic assemblages of complete bikes in BMX, WETHEPEOPLE is back with its 2018 complete bike series. WTP cover everything and are known all over the globe for not just making bikes, but the way they make them. Carefully designed 12” and 16” bikes including entry-level models that feature 25-9 gearing and plastic pedals from leading component brand Éclat. Quality is the name of the game with WETHEPEOPLE, but you’d expect that from the Germans.
Prime 12”
Kicking off the line, and new for 2018, the Prime is one of the raddest balance bikes on the market. Packed full of custom features like a super short reach CNC machined stem and knurled footpegs, this is the perfect first taste of BMX for the younger generation of shredders. MORE INFO.

Seed 16”
A carefully designed and well spec’d 16” bike, designed to make those first years on a bike as fun as they can possibly be. The Seed is packed full of the latest Salt components like a Salt (Junior) 40mm reach stem, and super short 140mm cranks. For 2018, Wethepeople upgraded the Seed with new Salt (Tracer) tires and an integrated headset and tapered fork. Arguably one of the best looking bikes in the line is also one of the smallest. The little guys and girls have never had it so good. MORE INFO.

Nova
Not in any way similar to the tinny Vauxhall hatchback of the 90s, the Nova is Wethepeople’s entry level machine which packs a hell of a punch. For 2018 the Nova gets upgraded with 2.35” Salt (Tracer) tires, the (PRO) front load stem and two incredible colour options. A short 20” toptube and 13.2” chainstay keeps the Nova nimble and easy to maneuver for first time riders, and the 25-9 gearing, and mid padded combo seat give it the same feel as their PRO level bikes. MORE INFO.

CRS
The CRS enters 2018 with three fresh colourways and a healthy upgrade of new components. The geometry of the CRS has been tailored specifically to allow younger riders to be able to progress quicker, including short 13.2” chainstays and 165mm cranks, giving the CRS a responsive and snappy ride. This bike is packed to the brim with custom parts and you’ll find a fully sealed Salt (AM) cassette hub, the new Salt (Fraction) rims and even a pair of Éclat (Surge) plastic pedals.

Arcade
A tasteful and stylish model built to ride and shred it all.

Justice
The Justice is a carefully assembled masterpiece with the sophistication and elegance that you just won’t find on any other bike. You’ll notice a lot of attention to detail on the Justice, including the “wear” line on the Saltplus (Sting) tires and the smaller “hang free” dropouts for a seamless peg/hubguard interface. Now with revised geometry for 2018, the Justice is a fantastic all round bike that comes with fully removable brake hardware and all the latest equipment you will need to conquer any terrain you want. Schemed and spec’d to handle just about anything, the Justice really is the bike of no compromises. MORE INFO.

Audio 22"
A brand new model for 2018, Wethepeople introduce the Audio, their first ever 22” complete bike. There is no denying the momentum of the 22” movement; the larger diameter wheel provides a more stable ride without sacrificing the classic BMX look and feel. Perfect for the die-hard trail dogs or just taller riders looking for a bike more fitting to their size, without having to ride a bike that simply isn’t a BMX.. The 22” revolution is here, and the Audio is a solid contender for the best 22” bike out. MORE INFO.

Whether you’re down the trails, at the pump track or just heading into the city, the Atlas is so much fun to ride, you’ll have a hard time putting it down.
