Product Spotlight: SE Bikes PK Ripper Super Elite XL
While SE Bikes appear to be distracted by the #ridelife movement on the bigger wheeled BMX bikes, I started to wonder what that meant for their race line. My questions were answered on the weekend with SE Bikes revealing the 2021 Elite Race Series bikes. Six different sizes including; the 24″ Floval Flyer, The Mini Ripper, Ripper Junior, Ripper X, PK Ripper Super Elite, and PK Ripper Super Elite XL.
This Product Spotlight is focused on the PK Ripper Super Elite XL, if you want to find out about the other sizes we have a link at the bottom of the page.
SE Bikes have consistently been putting out great off the shelf complete race bikes with awesome price tags to match. The feature rich 2021 series are jam packed full of goodies and are considerably light. In my opinion it’s one of the best complete bike you could by for under $AUD1,200.
