quotes fatlarry.....good question.....not mortgage the house can mean different things to different folks. I am not going to throw numbers out here now, those will be available when we actually have bikes to sell to customers....I will say $1k frame with shock is a tough number to hit...there are some out there doing it, but the quality standard and performance we are looking to achieve with our first products offered I believe will be above a price point you are mentioning here. What I do know is that we won't be doing $4000 frame sets or $7000 completes. The bikes will be high quality, able to with stand abuse and supported by the brand if there are warranty issues. We are excited about what have planned and the program we are putting together...but really now its time for us to put our heads down and show the consumer instead of tell the consumer how good Hyper is going to be. Thanks again for everyone on here chiming in...the good and the bad, its all good...to the supporters thanks for being open minded, to the non supports thanks for giving us extra motivation to make our dreams reality.

quotes *The bikes, Everyone is correct when they say the bike shown is Cam's old Corsair bike, it is the closest product to what ours will be that is available for him to ride. This is a work in progress, the Hyper bikes will Utilize the same UNIT system with Industrial design changes to make them Hypers...yada yada I know...u all have heard it before...flame on and insert comments here about other companies blowing it by doing this, haha. I will make no claims to what time frame they will be out, only to let people down later...I can say the process is much simpler and quicker then starting from scratch and developing a bike..a lot of the steps of the process have already been gone through with the UNIT technology. Was or is it a mistake to make such a big release without product to sell? maybe.... everyone will have an opinion on that...but the fact is we saw the opportunity to grab Cam and the technology he has won on. It is much easier for us to answer questions to you guys here this way then to have him show up unannounced on a Hyper or Hyper branded frame and have the speculation go crazy everywhere.

quotes Hey everyone...EC here, thanks for all the interest and comments here, the good and bad. It all gives me the opportunity to explain a little more. So i will address a few issues I see most focused on here. *Wal-Mart/ Big box...Again we sell bikes in Wal-Mart and will continue to do so, there are many uses for bikes in the world and not everyone can afford high end bikes. The big box bikes are a completely different product offering from Hyper. Hyper wants to get more people active and out on bicycles...HIgh end or Big Box, which speaks directly to me. I grew up in a household with little money and started riding bikes on a bike from Toys-R-Us...I am so thankful to have been able to find my passion of two wheels instead of a stick and ball sport, All of it due to my parents being able to afford a big box bike. Am I to assume that everyone who has something negative to say about bikes in Wal-Mart also drives a Mercedes Benz, wears a Tag, and only uses the highest end camera when they are out on the family picnic? I will be posting more responses...if you all have any questions fire em off and I will do my best to answer them. Thanks Again.

quotes Your welcome Medic and thanks for the kind words, hearing riders notice that i am approachable, laid back and personable, and as i like to say "just a bike geek" like everyone else is more important to me then any championships i could have ever won. I have already talked with Mike Here at PB to do a Q&A about Hyper in the near future and will address what bikes we will be producing.

quotes I agree those types of bikes are really fun to ride and it doesn't mean that we won't have something like this in the future, and given our history in BMX it's a good fit. The reality is in our first year we can't come out with a complete line of bikes that suits each segment of the sport right out of the gate.

quotes SlickShoe...the 4x DS bike is not scheduled to be part of the initial line, if we do one it will be a hard tail focused on Dirt Jump and Pump track stuff.

quotes The idea of a Frame Set offering is on the table, but it will/would most likely be in limited numbers. Our primary focus right now is putting a quality line of completes together.

quotes Eric Carter here. Thanks for the interest and comments...I want to clarify some stuff on here. From the product side of things, what I have been brought in to oversee the development of is not the Bicycles you see in Wal-Mart or Canadian Tire. Hyper does produce bikes at that level, but in regard to the above Press Release and topic in discussion Hyper is committed to doing higher end stuff for MTB's. Neither Waylon or I will be racing BMX bikes at Fontana or any other Mountain bike events. We are currently in the testing phase for our product line that I look forward to rolling out in the future. If you guys have any questions, fire em off and I will do my best to answer them.
