The waiting of Verde Bikes in Street

The latest today, but not on the market, us of now the riders shall test the newest Bike coming soon…

Verde is a new company for 2008 and they like to define themselves with three words: clean, simple, and classic. They are all about enjoying the time spent on a bicycle and have a fresh outlook on riding. During this time in BMX, when new completes are popping up all over the place, it makes us wonder if this will be a flash in the pan or if they are here to stay. We recently got the chance to put the Cadet to the test. Will this brakeless complete turn heads? Is it worth the price? Is this the start of something new?

THE LOWDOWN

Why don’t we take a closer look at what we are working with? For starters, the Cadet is visually on point and the matte gray and black color scheme really gives it a great look. It is very streamlined and has the parts you need and nothing else, keeping it nice and simple. The frame is 100 percent chromoly with a mid bottom bracket and internal head tube. The Verde forks are heat treated with tapered blades. The eight-inch handle bars, slammed Duo seat, flangeless Duo Cranmer grips and lack of brakes, routes or posts keep it up to date with all of the latest trends. It is rolling on two 36-hole alloy double walled rims wrapped in Odyssey Path tires with sealed alloy front and rear hubs. The rear Verde cassette hub has a ten-tooth one-piece driver allowing for the 28-tooth sprocket, which is small and out of the way. The Verde three piece chromoly cranks have a 48-splined spindle. The Cadet also comes with four sleeved pegs with drilled aluminum inserts.

WHAT WE LIKE

Where else would you want to test a street bike other than on the streets? We got warmed up at our local cement park to get a feel for how the Cadet rode, then headed straight to a schoolyard to get testing. The combination of the 20.75-inch top tube and the slammed seat left enough room to move around without feeling too cramped. The tires rolled smooth and had no problem providing grip when it was necessary. The bigger bars were great and surprisingly didn’t feel too high, and bar spins came around easy. Ledges and rails were no match for the pegs, as they ground smooth on both. The overall weight was surprisingly low even with four pegs which helped a lot when hopping onto big ledges and rails. The compact drivetrain also kept the sprocket out of harm’s way and again, did its part in keeping the weight down.
