Our 2015 Premise complete bike is one of our best selling models & for good reason. Featuring a full CrMo frame with pro level geometry, full CrMo forks with one piece CNC steer tube, full sealed wheel set with alloy double wall rims, 25/9 gearing & after market Colony parts like our pedals, grips & seat make this one of the best value bikes in it’s class.

Check them out in further details here or at a Colony dealer near you now.

It’s been a while since we’ve introduced a new crank to our product range, mainly because our Colonial V2 Cranks still kill it & are so proven as a solid set of cranks. But change is always a good thing & we’ve developed our new 22’s Cranks with a different style. Based around a lighter, yet just as strong 22mm spindle with a 2 piece design, these cranks also have a light weight 7075T6 alloy single main bolt to keep them all bolted tight & true.

RHD & LHD compatible and available in either 170mm or 175mm lengths in Gloss Black or Chrome we’ve got you covered.

Check them out at dealers worldwide now or read more about them by clicking here now.

Alex Hiam’s signature combo seat now comes in 2 versions. The original mid version & a fatter version now as well. It’s light weight, strong & now comes in a tougher material covering, just what Alex wanted.

Check these ultimate wheel sets that customers have built using all our Rainbow parts. Rainbow Contour Rims, Rainbow Wasp Hubs & our own Rainbow spokes. Or you can opt for a little more subtle Black spokes.

You too can order yourself a set of these from your favourite dealer but be quick as these Rainbow Contour Rims are in short supply. If you’re lucky enough to be in Australia they can be ordered now & if you’re in the USA they will be available again in one last small shipment in mid November. Hit ’em with it.

Our largest bar ever has just dropped worldwide & measures in a whopping 10.0″ tall & 30.0″ wide.

The TENacious Bars use our own multi butted tubing mould with a thicker walled tubing where it counts on the cross bar & grip bend intersection. WE’ve also used a larger diameter cross bar itself for extra strength. All this size though, doesn’t mean they weigh a tonne either. Using full posted heat treated, multi butted CrMo we’ve kept the weight down like any of other our bars.

Click here to check them out further or go pick yourself up a pair at any Colony dealer now.

Jourdan Barba is a street assassin, pure & simple. We hit him up on a trip in Australia a while back, about doing a signture product & this sprocket here is the end result. The Menace Guard Sprocket is perfect to protect your chain when doing crooked grinds & a slew of other stuff, these things are tough. Machined from a solid plate of 7075T6 alloy to exacting standards they will run true for you. Check them out at a dealer near you now. Black or Polished & in 25T only for now.

We also raised the cross bar itself a little higher to give more strength as well. Full post heated CrMo construction, these bars wont let you down.

Tom Stretton sent in a quick update…

Hey guys,

Just saying g’day and letting you know what I’ve been up to.

Recently I had been filming a lot to finish my edit off. A few good friends and me dug a really cool quarter out at the spillway which I have wanted to do since last summer which was so fun!

Unfortunately, I came off hard on that quarter and fractured my fibula down near my ankle. Nothing too serious and I should be back in about six weeks just in time for some summer fun!

Good news is my edit is all finished filming for. Missed out on two clips I really wanted because I got hurt but I’m still happy with the stuff we have. Look out for that coming real soon.

Huge thanks to Cooper for filming and of course the man Millsy for basically everything ever. Can’t wait for some epic times with the guys through summer.

Peace! – Tom.

Yo yo !!

I didn’t think I would ever be writing this here but Ryan Guettler is no longer riding for Colony as of today.

He has decided to leave the team, to take a job as a brand manager / pro rider at Hyper & Snafu. I know Ryan has wanted a job within the industry for a while now & I personally wish him all the best in this new chapter in his life.

Ryan has been with Colony since our inception in 2005, he was the first rider I chose as a team rider back then. More importantly, I have known & ridden with Ryan since he was just 7 years old. It has been a fun ride the last 24 years & I am sure there will be many more sessions to come. I do thank you Ryan for your efforts with Colony over the years, it is appreciated. Let the good times roll ahead !! I wish you all the best mate – Clint.

Here are some words from Ryan himself…

What ever I write will not show my appreciation and gratefulness I have for Clint Millar and the family I have over at Colony. All the road trips and good times with the team will be my memories for life. Nothing will change our friendship or the the way I think of the guys over at Colony but this next step is a must for me to take. My career is sunsetting and I’ve always wanted to learn the business side of things. I’ve been through all the ups and downs with in BMX over the past 20 years of my career, my knowledge will help Hyper and Snafu. This would not have been an option with out Clint guiding me along the way. He is a best friend and the god of front brakes, I wish Clint nothing but the best. To all the riders at Colony keep it rubber side down and I’ll miss you guys – Ryan.

Yo yo !!

This is soooo good !! Some front brake heat from all the guys in this & especially our own Bobbie Altiser. Loved it guys.
