Orbea Rude - The Viki Gomez Freestyle Complete Bikes
« on: July 10, 2013, 10:20:51 PM »

We've been following Viki's liaison with Orbea Bikes closely and now they finally released some more information. The Orbea Rude is actually a complete bike designed for freestyle: "Is it possible to design a bike to enjoy the magic and balance of Flatland, the adrenaline of Street and the technique of Park? The frame and components of the new Rude have been carefully selected to let riders pick their own style and enjoy the different disciplines of BMX."

The complete bikes comes in 2 different version: Rude 10 and Rude 20. The Rude 10 appears to be the premium version that comes with sealed bearings and heat-treated parts. The frame seems be identical as far as the geometry is concerned. Both versions are available with 3 different frame sizes: 19.6", 20.75" and 21" TT. The chain stay is 12.7" for the 19.6" TT and 13.2" for the other 2 TT lengths. The head angle is always 75°.

Check the component list and more details on the Orbea website: RUDE 10 and RUDE 20. Besides the promo video on top they also release a how-to video:

Who would like to get one of those?

Is the AFA just around the corner as well?  Back in the day riders rode it all and brought all disciplines to everything which made way for progress.  Yes, hopefully the "FREESTYLIN'" days are back as far as bikes go and riding.
