The French brand Inspyre has been gaining plenty of traction in the local race market since launching here early 2022, with the EVO range of complete bikes being popular with those getting a little more serious about their racing who are looking for a BMX race bike that they can jump straight onto and race at a club or state level event.
Starting with a hydroformed 6061 aluminium frame, Insypre have built out these bikes with with quality components from Forward utilised on major parts like the cranks, hubs and the cockpit (bars and stem). Inspyre has plenty of experience with European racers and it shows in the both the sizing specs, and in the geometry on this Junior race rig.
Trusted manufacturers like Shimano are used for the disc brakes and the Tioga Powerblocks tyres are a staple on race tracks all over the world. There's nothing on this bike that screams compromise as far as its mission statement goes. It's ready to give the young rider the confidence to push the limits as they learn to race and win.
This bike comes in well under half the cost of what it would take to build a custom BMX race bike from the ground up, but it sure isn't half the performance that's for certain. We would probably change out the pedals for a thinner profile set, but other than that, the only other thing you need to add is a number plate.
