Disc brakes on a BMX?! The only other time you may have seen hydraulic fluid slithering its way around a (non-racing) BMX frame was back in the day with Kye Forte's personal hydraulic rim brake setup, but now courtesy of the folk at Wethepeople, this new disc brake ready, transition killing steed is available for everyone to enjoy. Scroll down for the full story on Tyson Jones-Peni's signature Chaos Machine...
“We worked with Aussie trail boss and BMX lifer Tyson Jones-Peni on an all-out trail and bowl roasting machine. The Chaos Machine Frame features long and stable geometry, combined with Wethepeople’s legendary frame building technology making it one of the meanest and toughest rigs in the game.
Tyson isn’t scared to go fast and hit the mainline with some serious speed so we equipped his signature steed with mounts for a disc brake (and a regular u-brake) making it the first frame of its kind and perfect for riders needing some upgraded stopping power. From the super long 14"+ chainstay to the unique detailing on the seat stay bridge and head tube, the Chaos Machine frame is one of the most “signature” frames we’ve ever made.” - Wethepeople
