Details

Perhaps you've heard of someone named Danny MacAskill, arguably the best street trials rider in the world. He came out with an incredible video in April 2009 that shot trials into the public eye, and has since released several more mind-blowing videos that continue to expose trials to an ever-larger audience. This is his newly updated signature bike, the Inspired Skye Team. Named after his homeland, the Isle of Skye in Scotland, it features many of the same parts that Danny uses on his own bike.

The Skye has been developed to meet the specific and evolving demands of a new generation of progressive street and trials riders. The geometry of the frame and fork has been refined by continual testing and feedback from Danny and the knowledge and experience gained from producing the world’s leading street bikes. The Skye Team frame geometry has been updated, giving it shorter chainstays and overall wheelbase, resulting in a livelier and more responsive ride and making it much quicker on the back wheel; perfect for the advanced tricks and creative lines that today's street riders are pulling!

The intimidating and dangerous nature of the lines that Danny rides on a daily basis means that it is vital to have 100% confidence in the bike. The Skye frame and fork, therefore, feature bolt through axles (now hard anodized) to ensure that everything stays in place no matter what you throw at it. Coupled with a one-piece bottom bracket and chainstay yoke and unique seatstay yoke, these features help maximize stiffness and offer sharper reactions and improved feel when riding at the limit.

New butted tubing and a lighter yoke design help to keep the overall weight of the bike down while at the same time maximizing the frame durability. The frame features a reinforced IS disc mount for use with a rear disc brake only. Exclusive-design seat and chainstay tubing improves both crank and heel clearance while the simplified dropouts and neat CNC gear hanger maintain the clean and stylish look of the frame. The front end has been toughened up with a 1.5" tapered headtube, complemented by a 1.5", 7075 aluminum, tapered steerer fork.

The complete bike has an updated spec that features many of the components used by Danny himself on his own personal bike. These include custom bolt through Hope hubs, a Hope stem, Atomlab rims, Danny's signature Continental 24" street tires and the brand new Inspired Team seat (with an extra-tough Kevlar cover, custom Pivotal bolt cover and stylish Inspired label stitched into the shoulder seam). Each component has been carefully chosen to provide the high strength and durability that the frame and fork demand without resulting in an excessively high weight. Every aspect of the bike has been analyzed to ensure that 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.

Also available with Hope Crankset and BB upgrade package.

Available in Shot Blast Blue only.
