It is claimed to the World’s first high performance 22″ wheel freestyle and jump bike.
80’s BMXÂ legends Eddie Fiola in the U.S. and Craig Campbell (U.K.) are both riding them and Mat Hoffman has also offered to help out with test riding.
Faction Bikes are a rider owned company based in Shrewsbury, Shropshire and are currently top 3 finalists in the still running Shropshire Star ‘The Big Idea’ new business awards.
As seen on TV’s The Gadget Show, the new 22 inch wheel Zeitgeist bike rrp £349.99 from Faction Bike Co is being touted as the “ideal crossover” bike between a BMX and an MTB.
Designed as a bike for learning dirt jumping moves on for folk who feel traditional 20″ wheel BMX bikes are too small for their liking.
The theory behind using 22″ wheels is to give the bike a more stable feel in the air but without being too big as to restrict manoeuvrability.
The frame and forks are 100% 4130 cromoly.
Just bought one and pick it up in the morning from Alans. Will let you know how it goes. Still rollin on the 20’s but love the look of this new concept and could do with a bit more room.
