Inspired Skye 2012 (PRE-ORDER ONLY)

PREORDER ONLY - Allow 4-6 weeks for delivery

Inspired Bicycles is excited to announce the much anticipated arrival of the Skye 24” street bike, as ridden by street riding legend Danny MacAskill.  Named in honour of the small Scottish island where Danny grew up, the Skye has been developed to meet the specific demands of a new generation of progressive street and trials riders.  The geometry of the Skye bike has been refined by continual testing and feedback from Danny as well as using the knowledge and experience gained from producing the World’s leading street bikes.  As a result, the Skye offers a lively and responsive ride which is perfect for the advanced tricks and creative lines that our riders are getting dialled.

When attempting the sort of dangerous lines that Danny likes to try on a regular basis, it’s important to have 100% confidence in your machinery and therefore the Skye frame and fork feature bolt through axles to ensure that everything stays in it's place no matter what.  The axle systems combine with a one-piece bottom bracket and chainstay yoke and unique seatstay yoke to maximise stiffness resulting in sharper reactions and improved feel.

The frame features two brake mount options for increased adaptability; a reinforced IS disc mount for use with a rear disc brake and a pair of precision CNC machined, low profile 4-Bolt brake mounts for use with a hydraulic rim brake.  Exclusive-design seat and chainstay tubing improves both crank and heel clearance whilst the compact dropouts and neat CNC gear hanger maintain the clean and stylish look of the frame.

The complete bike has been specified with a selection of top of the range parts, many of which are used by Danny on his own personal bike including custom Hope Pro 2 Evo and Pro 2 Trials hubs, Hope stem and Atomlab rims.  Each component has been chosen to provide the high strength and durability that the frame and fork demands without resulting to an excessively high weight.  Every aspect of the bike has been analysed to ensure it performs at the highest level possible and every detail has been considered.  Even the wheels are individually laced and 100% hand built in the UK by specialists who have the necessary experience to create wheels which can handle just about any level of riding.

Available in Gloss Orange only.
