Academy bikes are specifically designed to offer the price-conscious customer an entry-level complete bike with geometry and specifications typically reserved for pro-level BMX bikes. This gives riders new to BMX a better overall experience right out the gate.
These same design principles have been followed all the way down to Academys 16 Inch Origin Bike. As the younger generation starts riding BMX, they deserve to have a bike that rides as smoothly as their idols, and with a sealed bearing rear cassette hub and 25/9 gear ratio, the Academy Origin sure helps deliver that experience! Did we mention the glossy black and polished features?
