Sadio Announces Return to FGFS

I never would have thought I’d be saying the words “Sadio” and “2026” in the same sentence. Today on Facebook Sadio just announced that they’ll be hitting the market with some new parts for 2026 (It’s from the official Sadio Facebook that hasn’t posted since 2012, so you know it’s legit). They’re bringing to the table a revamp of the classic Sadio 420 bars called the Sadio Reborn 420 bars, and a revamp of their classic Viper rims now called the Vamper rims.

The new bars are coming in at a shockingly low rise for 2026 at just 4.8″ with a Brokeboyz style 4 piece bar setup. Even though the standard these days is 6″ and up, I don’t think this is actually a bad thing. With the rise of Trick Track and 700c FGFS bikes, there’s a need for more low bar options IMO. Tall bars make bigger bikes feel kind of weird so this might end up being a good option for you 700c / Trick Track lot.

The new rims are a different style from their predecessor coming in with an MTX deep v rim style rather than their original boxy design. They’re going to only be available in 26″ and come in at a weight of 690g, making it a lightweight option compared to some others on the market.

Sadio built a huge legacy during the time they were active from 2010 – 2014, so I have faith that these will be quality parts. I hear they’re even looking to sponsor some riders, so that’s also a good sign that they’re here to support things rather than just take from the scene. Sadio’s branding has always been my favorite part about the company and I think the layouts of these promos alone make me wanna get their stuff in hand.

I haven’t seen any info on when and where these will be available for purchase. They don’t even have an instagram page, so I’ll be keeping an eye on their Facebook for updates and posting it here.

NS District Handlebars Available Again!

If you’ve been looking for a good riser bar to put on your bike… the answer might be here for you. The NS District handlebar is one of the most legendary riser bars to ever grace the market. At 3.5″ rise with 4130 heat treated chromoly, they make for an affordable, good looking, low rise option for those still seeking a lower rise no cross bar look. They come with shims too, so they work for 22.2 and 25.4 stems!

Now I’m not sure what the deal is with the production of these. They were discontinued a long time ago but have just been made available on The Rise website. They have a new logo on them, so something tells me these are freshly produced and not just NOS. If I’m wrong, somebody go do some digging and lemme know what’s up.

Either way doesn’t matter though because the important part is that they’re available again! Snag a pair over at The Rise here!

BOMBAY x MASTER 2026 EDIT

Bombay is Thailand’s last stand. Once upon a time, Thailand had one of the highest concentrations of FGFS riders in the early 2010’s and it quickly became one of the most desired travel destinations for FGFS pro riders. Fast forward 10 years and the scene has fizzled out. The 100’s of riders that once flooded the streets and parks of Thailand are nowhere to be found, but as the dust settles, a lone Bombay Chakrist stands. Not only has he stood the test of time, he has refined his craft to perfection.

Bombay has spent a while filming this new edit for Master and I’m honored that he sent it through to post on the SMC channel. He’s been in the scene for a long time now and he still continues to progress and impress me everytime I see clips. Big shoutout to Bombay and make sure to follow him on his new account HERE because his old account was deleted!

84Kick – After Samurai Comp Gallery

I’m sending some photos from a street session. After the Samurai Trick Comp, we went for a little street ride. Even after the competition, many riders kept riding a lot. I took some photos of them. Recently, photo sessions have been even more fun for me than filming. Thank you guys for coming and a having good sesh. (Full gallery after the jump)

Russian Track Bike Shred

Some people are inherently gifted by the swag gods before they even touch a bike. Some people may never know how much swag they could have on a bike. Worktofuck (great name) was lucky enough to discover that he has immense amounts of swag. Absolutely dripping in it on his Fuji track bike. Ripping some park and streets in St. Petersburg.
