If you're a fan of BMX bikes, you're probably familiar with the Mongoose brand. For decades, Mongoose has been synonymous with high-quality, durable BMX bikes that are designed for superior performance. And one of the most iconic Mongoose bikes of all time is the California Special.

First introduced in 1983, the California Special was a game-changer in the world of BMX. With its innovative design and superior performance, it quickly became a favorite among riders. And now, after a long hiatus, the California Special is back and better than ever.

One of the standout features of the California Special is its hi-ten steel frame, built on the original geometry of the legendary 1983 design. This frame is both durable and lightweight, providing excellent performance on the track or in the neighborhood. Whether you're a seasoned BMX pro or just starting out, you'll appreciate the precision and stability that this frame offers.

Safety is always a top priority when it comes to BMX riding, and the California Special delivers with its DiaCompe MX brake kit. This brake kit delivers super-fast, reliable stopping power that you can count on. Whether you're racing down a steep hill or navigating tight turns, the DiaCompe MX brake kit will help you stay in control.

  • Fit the handlebars and line them up with the front wheel
  • Fit the front wheel, pedals and seat post
  • Check the brakes and tyre pressure before the first ride

Tools: Allen key set and a 15mm, 17mm or 19mm spanner for the pedals and axle nuts (bikes can vary between these three sizes). A socket is needed if installing pegs.
