Tenzin Nyandak gives his perspective on riding BMX in NYC.
The Prime Mover has been around the block a number of times now. With Slight revisions over time and graphic updates along with the yearly colour change. United Bike Co. thought it was time to give the Prime Mover a bit of TLC and updating. The frame's geometry is still aimed towards the traditional dimensions that can be found at home on the street, at the park and even the trails. The chain stay took a lower form allowing the new removable chain stay brake mounts space to breath, a kew feature we have been asked for for some time. With the addition to our latest invest cast dropouts and built in tensioners, the rear triangle of this frame has well and truly been looked after. United wanted to be big and bold with the look of this frame and what could be better than having a full over sized down tube graphic? With three paint options. A deep gloss OX Blood, Flat Grey and a Flat red.
