C3

The big BMX, done properly

The C3 is for riders who love the look and posture of a big BMX: combos, surfing on the frame, tricks on the pegs, technical moves and street riding. It rolls on the same 29-inch wheels as the C100 V3, with a BMX-style frame and a more upright position, hands high and close.

Spec

Frame and fork: heat-treated 6061-T6 aluminium frame with a full chromoly rigid fork.

Cockpit: tall BMX bar, 31 inches wide with a 7-inch rise.

Drivetrain and brakes: Shimano CUES 10-speed, Hollowtech bottom bracket and Shimano MT200 hydraulic brakes.

Wheels: 29-inch double-wall alloy rims, 35mm wide, with Maxxis Hookworm 29 x 2.5in tyres. That big volume gives you the cushioning a rigid fork doesn’t.

Pegs that don’t load the axle

The C3 frame uses removable dropouts with their own peg mount just ahead of the axle. The pegs never load the axle itself, which protects both the frame and the axle. Grab a set from BMX Pegs.

Colourways

Black/Chrome, Aurora, 24K and CTS, the ChrisTheSurfer signature colourway.

C3 or C100 V3?

Both are 29-inch. The C3 is upright with a rigid fork, made for combos, surfing and pegs. The C100 V3 is lower and more forward with suspension, made for speed, long wheelies and swerves. If you replay slow, technical clips, you’ll probably prefer the C3. More in Buying your first wheelie bike: the ultimate guide.
