22" BMX, What can it do? Better or Worse?

The new edition to the Encore Bikes line up is one to impress. Either you ride BMX or MTB you need this bike for a good in between bike! The 22" wheels and 21.75 frame give this bike an amazing feel and an easy riding transition. I have been able to ride this bike for a couple weeks now and I just love the way it feels when you ride the bowls, or the dirt and it just feels right. I was able to throw a few tricks in for you guys and keep the rubber side down...for now! Check the bikes out at encorebikes.com...

22 is the future. Dreamed about it for years.

[@dpbikes]

+Supernoob Smith 22inch is pretty fun!

[@wesleysept6536]

No doubt! Me too, I've been dreaming of a 22 inch forever. My Encore fits me the way a 20 inch fit me when I was 15 years old.

[@wesleysept6536]

Sounds great! I'm a life long BMXer, I own a 2016 Encore Anthem 22 inch. For 44 years now I've been BMXing, boy do I have stories. You guys have a great day. Wes Sept

[@dpbikes]

Right on! Keep it up if you can! Thanks for stopping in!

[@wesleysept6536]

@@dpbikes I sure will! The 22 inch Anthem is getting rebuilt, new paint, petals, killer big bars, it's going to be sweet!

Man I wish! Watching Nolan all weekend!

I wanted to start BMX riding as a Beginner now, but unsere If Basic tricks are good to learn with a 22". And what about jumps, If your butt goes to the ground and Hit the tire... In this Special Case a 22' would hurt !?

[@dpbikes]

I think that whatever you get used to will be perfect for trying tricks! If it’s basic tricks then no problem! It’s when you start advancing that you would need to maybe get a more bmx or more mtb type bike. With a 22” I don’t think you will have any issues with your tire hitting your butt unless you just miss your pedals completely.

I just rode a 22" Dk Vega at my lbs today. Oh my gosh. What a wrench in my plan. I thought I was getting a 20" with a 20.5/20.75 tt but after riding that Vega....it felt sooo good. I'm only 5'8" but 36 years old...... the 20" bikes don't feel bad to me at all but the Vega felt incredible. I think I'm just going to have to buy a 22" to wring it out and see if it is for me. After I buy my 20" of course. My 1997 Gt Fueler is just getting to be a pain to buy parts for. I literally walked in the bike shop to buy a shorter BMX because my fueler has a 21.25" tt, and a 14+" rear end....welp a 22" is the opposite direction I planned on going. Now I can't f'n sleep. What to do what to do.....

[@dpbikes]

Hell ya! 22" sounds like itll be great for you. Lots of companies offer them now so you have lots to choose from....if your 20 inch feels too small. i would recommend a 21" frame and possibly some tall bars like 9.5 inch rise and set them a little bit forward than parrellel with your forks .

Huntington hills is my local and I love to ride in chestemere too

[@dpbikes]

CANADIAN BACON so fun of parks eh bud!

[@exiledjay8027]

Ya bud

[@lukeman2720]

Thinking bout buying a new bmx what type should I get

[@dpbikes]

If your in Calgary area, check out B Line and try out a few. Most are really good so it's more about how it feels to you.

[@nicedward7544]

Where is this? Really weird seeing dirt jumps in a bunch of people's back yards that they didn't build lol

[@dpbikes]

This is in Chestermere Alberta. Great jumps usually maintained.

[@almostkid911]

I wanna get a dirt jump mountain bike and come ride Chestermere with you 🙃

[@dpbikes]

almostkid911 buddy! come test mine out. Saturday come out let's do it!

[@zemaniak22]

How tall are you?

[@dpbikes]

5 foot 9!

[@_kieghan_7726]

joyride 150 is my local park

[@JP-bp1cy]

What IF .. I’m only 5’11 , should I get a 22??

[@dpbikes]

Mahogany Levis try one out. See if you feel more comfortable on that or a 21" BMX frame

[@JP-bp1cy]

dpBMX yeeeaahhh.... I just ordered a stolen spade 22 already. I’m sure I will like it. I don’t like how small the 20s are. Also I’m a complete noob at bmx 😭

[@dpbikes]

Mahogany Levis well if the little ones feel to small you should try my bike 😂 it's huge. But also a lot more than a 22" complete

[@JP-bp1cy]

dpBMX it’s a 29er huh 😐

[@lukeman2720]

Wtf I know you! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I used to go to the skatepark and bmx too later on my bike got stolen and I never came again😂

[@tokesrus2112]

If you want a real y’all encore get a coda

[@dpbikes]

24 inches!

[@tokesrus2112]

dpBMX yeah I got a coda and 2 amps

[@thecheeseify]

need a mic.

[@dpbikes]

+Derrick S I got a mic, just haven't figured out consistency within the program yet and how to keep it at the same level. Some high-pass filters were used as well to get the wind out of a few of the clips may give it the sound of a non mic but just because I forgot to put the dead kitten on the mic. Which parts where hard to hear or too loud for you?

[@thecheeseify]

I just noticed a few wind chatter spots. All audio was good otherwise. Keep uploading, enjoy your movies.

[@brianburdett3463]

Lol, bike mechanics don't build bikes.

[@wesleysept6536]

Sure they do

[@brianburdett3463]

@@wesleysept6536 Maybe sometimes but most shops have designated builders.

@@brianburdett3463 I know what you mean, I just don't like labels, because I'm so multi capable. You have a great night. Wes Sept

[@brianburdett3463]

@@wesleysept6536 I don't remember the op but I think my point was that a poorly built bike wasn't necessarily built by a mechanic and probably an underpaid "builder." I am a mechanic and I've built plenty of bikes and always do a top notch job.
