Maybe this is KHE trying to address their durability issues. Im not pro by far but so far if I were buying a starting complete Id value durability over other things like stand over height and whether the tubes are bendy or straight. As long as its a little shorter and angles are right I mean...

I was actually pretty excited about the new ablast bars until I saw the specs of 5 upsweep and 6 backsweep then I just laughed my ass off at khe going to street trends, I actually can't find anything good about any of those bikes from KHE I'm afraid other than having a CS of 12.9/13, dont know why we had 12.5 for so god dam long...
I could buy a street bike complete half the price of these and then some.

A few questions though, why did they add MidBB to both the ST and AD but euro on the Pro, seriously? Keep them MidBB no one wants euroBB's. I guess they wanted to lose as much weight as possible on the pro to sucker weightweenies in. Not that euro weighs much less.
Why did they add 75HA on both  ST and AD but 74.5 on pro, I would have though as a beginner a 74.5 HA actually would be better and a 75 is better for those who can stable them 75HA's hence a pro bike.

Looks like poop to me!

I really don't understand whats wrong with the bikes? I'd be damn happy to have any of those, much better than using a 14kg street bike with no zero offset parts  :P

Someone on here is griping about half a degree for the head angle.  Most riders probably couldnt tell  if the angle was 74.5, 75, or anything remotely close to it.  Some reason people love to bash on KHE yet they are one of the big name BMX brands that have really pushed flatland products.  Have they had some misses, yes but you got to give it to them for producing flatland products and sponsoring flatland riders.

They're testing it for quite a while now. Should be out soon as far as I know. ;)
Also new bars and maybe a street-line too...

Go and buy then. Sorry but I always hear bad comments about "this or that". People don`t like "Flat geo with bent tubes" - here u have straight design. Now people don`t like street design etc. Take any model of 2009-2011 with "flat specs" which is discounted btw. Market will always have trends and I like KHE tries to fit in.

As for 74.5vs75 HT and 12.6vs12.9 - ironically there isn`t much difference. It would be in case 70vs75HT.
Still imo KHE need to have some bent tube version frame always.

Better to ride not so smooth but with your own style, than trying to be a copy.

I was hoping to go to friedrichshafen today after not being able to go yesterday to see the B1 to b5 arenas.
But I am afraid this wasn't to be.

I haven't seen the 2012 KHE range, appart from whats been shown on here and I have mixed feelings about what I have seen. In one hand I think it's great the KHE is still producing bikes and parts for the flatland market. In fact during my visit of halls A1 to A7 I saw no traces of anything flatland related. I will be very surprised if this threads see's any other flat related products being talked about that was shown at  Friedrichshafen.

But at the same time, I almost want to redesign many of their products.
