We've nearly reached the close of this year and Flybikes have been real busy making sure their line of products is updated, improved and freshened up for 2018. We take a look at the all new Larry Edgar and Courage Adams signature frames, Devon Smillie's fifth incarnation of his Fuego frame, Sergio's Sierra line of parts and the all new Volcano stem.
"Introducing the “Aire”, the Larry Edgar signature model, with a slightly relaxed head-tube angle, longer rear-end, all aimed more toward transition riding, personalized gussets, original CNC stay-bridges, stylized head-tube and bottom-bracket shapes, a new seat-post clamp and coming in two amazing color options, good old black, along with an eye popping metallic purple. This thing is ready to hit the skies!" - MORE INFO

"As with everything we do here at Flybikes, we look to our team for inspiration and direction. Courage has caught a lot of people’s attention recently, so although he loved his Geo colorway, and with some new and very specific needs in mind, for 2018, we’re introducing the “Savanna” line, the Courage Adams signature frame and bars. With traditional street-style geometry, Courage’s brand new CNC plate bridges, new seat-post clamp design, brakeless and coming in a traditional flat black, along with a stunning pearl white, the “Savanna” is one hell of an eye catching functional street machine!" - MORE INFO

So, for 2018, we’re proud to introduce the “Savanna”, Courage Adams signature handlebars. Featuring multi butting, aggressive stem knurling, and unlike our other bar models, the “Savanna” bars, while still having the very popular and convenient cut lines, come pre-cut to Courage’s exact specifications ….

"Although only two tubes and simple in design, the look and feel of a handlebar can really make all the difference to your bike, nothings worse than bars with a bad box shape or wrong angles. Fortunately, and much like his riding, Sergio’s new signature “Sierra” bar is as smooth and good looking as his riding, and come packed with as much tech as a bar can get, including multi butted tubing, aggressive clamp area knurling, user friendly cut lines and an amazing overall feel, coming in an eye catching flat black color that we’re sure you’ll be stoked get your hands." - MORE INFO

"Sergio is very specific about his bike, unlike some other guys the smallest details are really important to him, everything has to be tight, no rattles and especially how his bike look’s. One of the key parts that he’s super particular about has always been his seat, the look, the angle and especially the overall design. So, for 2018 we gave Sergio the opportunity to design his own, with a refined slim foam shape and clean look we bring you the Sergio Layos “Sierra” signature seat, that functions as amazingly as it looks." - MORE INFO
"Out with the old and in with the new, as the saying goes, and with the popularity of the Volcano stem, we’re replacing the Alta and Roey stems with the new “Volcano TT” stem, a slimmer, lighter and more refined version of its big brother, with the popular anti slip grooves, same clean design and overall refined look, but now aimed more toward transition and ramp style riders to help shed a little weight and blast a little higher." - MORE INFO

By popular demand we’re introducing the very stylish and timeless grey colorway line of products, featuring the Fuego tire, Fuego grips, and Ruben pedals. This color will accent any other color combo amazingly!" - MORE INFO
