Strength:

Durable, agile, lightweight, looks like no other, just flat-out One Pimp Ride!

Weakness:

seatpost clamp. no matter that's an easy fix.

All out freakin Fa Nom In Al ride. No matter track, Dirt jumpin, street ridin' or even downhillin', Oh yeah and single track trails in Golden Gate Park in the City of SF, dodging Park rangers and blastin past hikers. Nothing comes close to my PK, Off the Line I Ripp it up, over the top I tear it apart and there is nothing left but space in between my back tire and anyone else.

Strength:

Very fast,great components.Good materials.Great looks.Very light.Cheaper than Team version and i dont see that there is a whole lot of difference between them.

Weakness:

Needed to replace with larger headset washer as forks wobbled...not great from a brand new bike... se product control error there.Can feel a bit flexible in the bb area but once racing feels tight and strong.Needs top hat washers for Landing Gear as well.Nothying really a problem.

People give this bike undeserved hostile reviews because it is no longer made by the original SE racing.This bike is a really great NS bike.It is SOOO fast and feels VERY strong in jumps and on the flat.I am SO HAPPY with this bike...it is easier to ride than the original as it is larger(I'm 6ft and have plenty of knee clearance.)Feels very strong and solid.Buy one.

If you like BMX even if you never own a P.K. RIPPER you should at least ride one once just to know how a proper BMX should be

Strength:

Superbe cadre, très bon pédalier 3 pièces, potence, guidon, tige de selle, freins excellents, bonnes roues, pédales de qualité moyenne mais correcte.

Weakness:

J'aurais préféré une version plus longue (21,5 pouces par exemple) vus mon âge canonique (41 ans...)et ma taille (1 m 78).

Pour le prix payé, on ne peut rien avoir de mieux. SE Racing a été racheté par Fuji mais ce BMX est toujours un très bon produit qui peut faire envie à bien des riders.

Overall bike is excellent.

Weakness:

Have not discovered any yet.

I owned a PK Ripper in 1983 and never had a problem with the bike. It rode as well as it did when I purchased it, even after four years. I recently purchased a 2004 model and can't believe how much it feels like my old bike. It's like I was riding back then all over again. Though the company has changed hands a few times since Scot started it, it's clear that the Ripper is the jewel and focal point of SE Racing still. I've test ridden Red Lines and a few others and feel that this bike still lives up to being ONE of the highest quality bikes. Though I'm a weekend kid along with my son, I plan on racing this bike at a few local tracks. That's how confident I feel about the quality.

This bike's price makes it affordable for the beginner and amateur, ane the quality makes it great for the experienced racer. STILL AN EXCELLENT BIKE.
