As bikelife becomes cemented in popular culture, the demand for bikes designed specifically for younger riders has increased. The recent move to 24” bikes to satisfy the growing demand amongst younger riders has persuaded us to tweak the Medusa 26” and make it more dedicated to smaller statures.
The all-new alloy framed Medusa V2 has been designed with a shorter top tube and lower standover height giving it the feel of a 24” BMX, but with larger 26” wheels adding stability during wheelies/combos. To boot we have slackened the head angle a little and dropped the bottom bracket to give it a very similar geometry feel to the 29” AND 27.5” BOMMA. The all-important integral peg mount (first featured on the OW BOMMA) has been added for ease of tricks, strength and reliability.
The Medusa V2 now features upgraded Samox cranks with hollow bottom bracket, our new Snakeskin S super-sticky swerve tyres and a new custom set of handlbars, making this by-far the most purpose built wheelie machine in the world for younger riders.
Why settle for a repurposed 24” BMX when you can have the real deal?
