PRO launches BMX parts


A box of some shiny new parts turned up here today for us to check out. Turns out it is PRO - Shimano's accessory brand. PRO now support 5 major Pro Tour teams and it is significant that they have launched BMX-race products. Pricing and more info to follow.

More about PRO:

PRO is one of the most dynamic bicycle accessory brands in the market. Over the last decade, the Shimano owned PRO brand has grown considerably into a major player on the bicycle accessory market. The ongoing development of new products, the never-ending drive to improve and the high level of quality for an affordable price have been responsible for the success of PRO.

In 2006 PRO took a major step by becoming the official supplier of the UCI Pro Tour cycling teams Rabobank and Credit Agricole. In 2007 two more UCI Pro Tour cycling teams, Francaise des Jeux and T-Mobile, will rely on the PRO handlebars, stems and time trial wheels. Together with the two UCI Continental Pro cycling teams Skil-Shimano and Agritubel, PRO is now official supplier of six UCI professional cycling teams.
This close relationship with the professional cycling world give the PRO engineers all the extra input needed to develop products that really matter. Furthermore, nothing beats real-life testing.

Of course, PRO does not focus exclusively on the professional; within our range we offer products that fit the needs of any rider from Elite level to tour rider. The program covers all product categories, from carbon disc wheels to saddlebags.

We guarantee the quality of our products in every category. What’s more, with PRO, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to discover how affordable superior quality can be. Because we understand riders, we have a simple philosophy: you should be able to afford the same equipment used by professionals without being a professional yourself. PRO powers your performance!

S-7 Frames are in stock now!!!




Mike built his up and here's what he had to say - short and sweet:

Put it this way these frames rule there lighter faster and stronger than anything i've previously ridden. The cruiser rides like a 20" its so agile. They manual so easily over jumps and look great. Definetely worth shelling out the extra dollars for a trick well made frame.

What a debut. Bradley Miins built up his sparkling new Avent TR7 frame, put on a pair of Shimano DX SPD pedals, laced up his DX shoes and spanked the opposition. Here he is sporting his Thor "away" kit. Congrats Brad!
