The SBEC mk2 is back in Las Vegas NV after 2 years. Taken at the Red Rock Canyon and Valley of Fire state park in Nevada. This is the updated version of the bike which we will call SBEC Mk.2.3. I replaced the handlebars to make the riding position slightly more forward to improve handling in corners and also to make the stance lower. The 24x3" tires are also replaced with a much lower profile and narrower 24x2.2 bmx slicks to combat severe tire deflection during higher degree of lean on sharp corners. the reduced over all diameter of the wheel did enhance climbing ability and acceleration of the bike. It did lose 1-2mph of it's 35mph top end on the flat but over all it's actually better than the old setup.
