Dirt Jump Bikes

Wethepeople BMX’s is a bike company operating from Cologne, Germany which produces freestyle BMX bikes for Europe and the US. The company was started in 1996 by Klaus Dyba and Harry Schmidt, and has been turning out high quality freestyle BMX bikes ever since.

Wethepeople is unique in it’s field due to the company’s specialization in the freestyle BMX discipline. The company has a freestyle team dubbed “pro with flow” who compete on wethepeople bikes at European bike tournaments. The team is well known on the European circuit, and an international team, called “flow but pro,” has been assembled to compete outside the European theater.

Wethepeople has organized their bike catalog into several different sections, with offerings from bikes for the young ones all the way up to pro-model freestyle bikes. They are known for assembling their complete bikes with higher quality parts than most manufacturers, meaning less cost down the line. For those who are looking to start from the ground up, wethepeople also provides a wide selection of frames and components to choose from, allowing you to get the highest level of customization available from one company.

The company has made quite a few changes in it’s 2011 line, with prices going up accordingly. While the bikes are still affordable and very durable, this has caused a bit of consternation with BMX fanatics. However, wethepeople has rolled out with better components on their complete bikes this year, including hydroformed front forks to replace the welded two-piece models, a new style of seat designed and produced by the company, and a few tweaks to it’s higher end bikes.

The “Rookie” line is the bottom level of wethepeople BMX’s, but the bikes still represent the high quality product. The “Seed” model is their entry level children’s BMX, with 16” wheels and Salt brakes, levers and pedals. The 2011 Seed is an affordable entry to the freestyle universe, coming in at only £299. The juvenile and adult models in the “Rookie” line, the Arcade, come similarly equipped and priced, in 18” and 20” variations.

Riders looking for a more substantial ride can go to the “Expert” series of wethepeople BMX’s, starting with the “Justice” model, which retails just marginally above their entry level bikes at £339.99, which offers eclat pedals and Salt alloy brakes, among other upgrades. The other offering in the “Expert” series is the “Reason,” which retails at about £349.99 and features components like double-walled rims and better brakes. While the “Justice” is available in two sizes, 20.4” and 21” TT, the “Reason” is only available in 20.4” TT.

The “Master” series is a step up from the entry-level “Expert” line, offering two bikes, the “Crysis” and the “Versus”, affordably priced at £399 and £429, respectively. These bikes offer a higher level of response and tougher components, and out of the box can easily serve as a bike suitable for competitions.

The “Pro” series is for advanced riders who are competing on a regular basis, and features two models as well, the “Trust” and the “Zodiac.” These bikes are built tough, yet able to respond to the most subtle maneuvers required of them. They’re a little more expensive, clocking in at £469 and £539, but with components that won’t require upgrades anytime soon and are designed to take a shellacking.

The highest level of wethepeople BMX’s is called the “Elite” series, and is painstakingly designed by the wethepeople team to offer the best in pro-level BMX bikes. The two bikes in this series, the “Volta” and “Envy,” both sport top shelf components, and are as sensitive and responsive as a BMX bike gets. They are priced around £649 to £799, with the “Volta” being the highest priced and specced bike that wethepeople offers.

With a solid lineup, a great warranty, and years of experience under their belt, wethepeople has become one of the BMX world’s top brands in a relatively short amount of time. The reason for this is craftsmanship, as well as attention to detail and feedback from riders. If the 2011 lineup looks this good, they must really have something up their sleeve for 2012.
