This has been out for a little while now but it’s well worth the watch. Ben Hittle shreds and gives you the low down on the the Kink Lynx and Badger bars. We currently have  both bars in stock, along with the Kink Wolf and Human bars, check em out.

Things have been crazy busy around here lately with Expocycle and Interbike and there’s a ton of news and new shit to catch up on, we’re gonna do our best to get things back up to speed over the next couple days. First bit of news, saw a couple dope photos of James Steele (Kink) shredding in Vancouver shot by Jason Vawter. Check out another pic here on the Kink site.

We just finished uploading a bunch of 2012 Kink bikes videos that give a great deal of info on Kink’s 2012 complete bike models. Check them out on our Vimeo page or read on to see them all below.

The new Pillar crank from Kink is a two-piece, 48 spline design that features a one-piece forged backplate and chromoly tubing on each arm that ties the spindle boss and pedal boss together into one solid piece creating a perfectly aligned crankset with superior strength over traditional cranks. The Pillar cranks are RHD/LHD compatible and feature two sets of sprocket bolt holes for either standard or micro-drive sprockets. The Pillar cranks weigh in at a light 28.5 oz while still being incredibly strong and are available in 175mm length only with a 22mm hollow spindle. You can check out a cool flipbook they put together for the cranks here and see a cross section photo of the arm after the jump. Hit up our sales office to get some of these in your shop now!

Here it is, the last edit from our summer tours this year. For this trip we headed out to Vancouver Island with the Kink team and rode a bunch of concrete and trails. This was a great trip to finish on, such a rad time with one of the best teams in BMX, some of the loosest nights of the summer for sure. Filmed by Luke Santucci and edited by Jeremy Deme.
