The team behind the Meybo brand from the Netherlands know how to win, and know how to build out a complete BMX racing bike that can be rolled out of the shop and straight onto the gate at national level competitions. Read on to see why we love this brand and their BMX products so much.
Meybo Superclass: A great bike for tall riders.
For the 6 foot plus rider, Meybo offers one of the only solutions in the complete, off the shelf, 20” race bike with a 22” and 23” top tubed frame size. Not so long ago a rider this tall would be forced to spend thousands building out a custom race bike from the frame up, but no more as Meybo has seen a gap in the market and filled it with these two Pro bikes.
When it comes to the Cruiser sized bikes in this range, Meybo offers a 21 inch TT frame, which is super rare nowadays with most manufacturers going 22 or bigger.
This 21 inch cruiser is perfect for 12-15 year old racers, and women racers as well. With complete 21 inch TT cruiser neigh on impossible to find, most racers in the 1.6m to 1.7m height range are forced to either compromise and rider a cruiser that is too big, or build a custom bike. This Meybo is easily half the price of a custom bike and plugs a big gap in the market. You will need to drop some $$ on 160-165mm cranks to suit the smaller rider, but still a lot cheaper than a custom bike.
Awesome components:
Each bike in the series from the Junior up to the Pro Cruiser comes equipped with SD Carbon forks and SD B-85 cranks, plus SD bars and stem. Additional goodness includes Shimano hydraulic disc brakes and Tioga Powerblock tyres.
Plus killer looks. There’s not much we’d change except for slapping a set of HT pedals on to give the rider reassurance with foot grip.
For the younger riders:
Attention to detail is what we like and the two Meybo Superclass expert bikes both run the correct 20 x 1-1/8th and 20 x 1-3/8th tyre spec which is exactly how we would build a custom bike based on these frame sizes. The crank lengths are spot on for them as well. Like we said, this Meybo crew knows how to build out race bikes that are perfect for the intermediate to expert rider. They are perfect too for the older rider that’s returning to BMX racing after a long break looking for a bike that has the ability to take them from a club race to the national level racing. The Meybo Superclass is that versatile.
