United Bike Co. Bike Parts & Accessories

United Bike Co., founded by Ian Morris in 2006, is a manufacturer of BMX bikes, frames, forks, and parts. Based in the UK, Uniteds are available internationally, with extensive distribution throughout the Americas, Australia, Europe and Asia. United also sponsors a pro team, makes documentaries, and sells a wide range of clothing and merchandise.

The United bike line is oriented towards serious BMXers. Seven models are offered, all with United's own kit, each built on a very strong steel frame. Two smaller-wheeled models, 16" and 18", have lighter frames, the design modified to provide closely the riding requirements of younger, smaller riders. Excepting the signature Martinez Expert, a specialty model intended for pros, every bike is equipped flexibly, with a U-brake and larger front tire.

Frames available from United are all top-end, hewing closely to the original United design, with modern tubing and technology. Offered along with the frames is United's complete parts package, every item top-end, for those looking for the absolute best United has to offer. Sizes and styles are widely varied, from the oversize, nearly indestructible Rigal to the lightweight street rider's Region. Every frame comes in a number of lengths for perfect rider fit.

The United parts line is complete. From fat slick tires, with wheels to match, to stems and bars, to cogs, to saddles and grips, every BMX ride's component is available. United offers supplies and tools as well, including minutiae such as rim tape and replacement tubes alongside spanners and chain tools. Clothing and merchandise are also extensive; wherever a United logo can go, it has gone, from shirts to skate decks, patches to stickers, hats to hoodies.

United makes good BMX freestyle bikes, and just about everything to go with them. For an excellent, reliable ride, from vert to street, try out a United bike.
