Titanium Innovation: RNC BMX Unveils New, Lighter Titanium Cranks!
Stepping up the gear game, RNC BMX has launched its latest titanium cranks that boast a lighter framework, shedding 6oz from the previous version. However, these cranks come with a hefty price tag of nearly $1000, potentially limiting their appeal to only the most ardent BMX enthusiasts. While the weight reduction is a boon for riders seeking nimble maneuverability, there’s a cloud of uncertainty hovering around RNC BMX following some unsettling tales from the community.

No surprise that 55% of you said Tailwhips have been the hardest to learn. It took me around 2 years of trial and error before my first tailwhip came around. Keep at it and don’t give up. BMX is hard but if I can do it, you can do it.

Inspiration 🌠
Progression is the heart of BMX, and every rider has their own mountain to conquer. Just like you, I’ve been in the trenches, pushing the boundaries of what I can do on my bike. Lately, I’ve been grinding away at nailing down those supermans. It’s a battle, to say the least. Each attempt, a mix of thrill and challenge, each fall, a lesson learned. But the glimpse of progress, the sight of feet stretching a bit more each day, is what fuels the fire. It’s a reminder that every day on the BMX is a day of evolution, no matter how small the step may seem.
Your BMX family is here, cheering for every grind you conquer, every height you soar, and every goal you chase down.
In 5 days I will be going LIVE on my YouTube channel to answer your questions and talk about BMX. On the stream, I’ll teach you how to do beginner BMX tricks and so much more. Get notified when I go live by clicking here!
