Moore Large Madison
SINCE THE Saracen takeover by Madison, the brand has branched out significantly and the catalogue now includes BMX bikes. Designed by Simon Wild, in
collaboration with experienced riders, the bikes are largely aimed at the value for money and beginner end of
the market, though price points and spec levels are creeping up with each model year.
A highlight of the line is the
Pressure. Built around a Hi-Ten steel frame, the 25-9 geared bike has a sealed cassette hub and mid bottom bracket. For more on the Saracen BMX line, visit

AS DISTRIBUTOR for perhaps the most household name in BMX, Moore Large can offer plenty for the shop seeking both race and freestyle goods. The model pictured is the 2013 Haro Bikes 500.1 and for 2013 this model has been stepped up a level with a lighter weight 100 per cent full Crmo frame, with smaller diameter tubing and tapered seat and chain stays. The bike also carries 8.25 or 8.5-inch rise bars depending on frame size, a new Haro alloy top load stem, full Crmo forks with a one piece CNC steerer tube and tapered legs. Female axles feature on
both the front and rear hubs, 48-spline full Crmo cranks provide a rigid footing, while aftermarket Odyssey Aitken tyres and Premium’s Samsara rims make up the build front and rear. Retail Price on this bike will be around £599.99 Moore Large also carries the entire
Premium Products complete line, as well as aftermarket components, from plastic pedals, through sprockets and handlebars. Furthermore, if you’re looking for on-
a-budget component stock, the distributor’s own Savage Components catalogue spans as far as full face helmets, as well as all finishing kit in many colours. 01332 274200
Avocet
AVOCET IS able to offer dealers a catalogue of 12 Piranha BMX bikes, among other brands this year. Eight ‘street’ builds span £199.99 to £279.99 and four ‘park’ bikes span £209.99 to £279.99. You’ll also find Skyway products,
previously the must have product in BMX’s heyday, under Avocet’s portfolio. To compliment this, BikeBiz is told that a further iconic label of the 80s is soon set to join the distributor, though you’ll have to wait until next month for more information on that.
At the affordable end of BMX complete bikes, Avocet’s Rooster brand continues to progress. Combining ‘Big Daddy’ frames with Skyway wheels, the entry-level range comes in with the Wicked and the Zombie, both available in 16, 18 and 20-inch wheels. But this year also see an extension to the range by adding the Werewolf, Vampire and the Cool for the girls, all available early July. For those investing more in their
bikes, the distributor carries the Blackeye brand, as well as Pilgrim Bikes. 0161 727 8508
