 WeThePeople Zodiac 2016

Year after year, WeThePeople continue to raise the bar of standards for high-end complete BMX bikes.

The goal with the Zodiac is to push the boundaries of a complete bike and produce the most dialled bike in their range. It’s a bike that’s built for modern street style riding. Just check out those big 9 inch rise 4-piece handlebars. Then add the rear Saltplus Pro Freecoaster hub and that beautiful 26 tooth SALTPLUS Orion 6061-T6 alloy sprocket guard. Now that really is pro spec, a legitimate Street dog set-up.

The frame is of aftermarket standard, custom designed 100% 4130 cromo with tapered tubing, invest cast dropouts and integrated chain tensioners. The SaltplusS HQ-V2 fork is heat treated sanko tubing with a CNC’d steerer and 25mm offset. You’ll be rolling on a killer wheelset, it’s comprised of the rear Saltplus Pro Freecoaster hub and Saltplus front 10mm female hub. Both hubs are laced to Aftermarket ÉCLAT Trippin XL rims, these bays are wide, super strong and look totally sick.

Finishing off the wheelset is the aftermarket ÉCLAT Ridgestone 2.4 &and 2.3 tyres. All other components are high-end and aftermarket offerings from ÉCLAT and Saltplus. Damn, this bike is good…. Available in Matt Clear Blue and Matt Black.
