- If you've ever wondered what the difference is between all the names of the Inspired Bicycles, here's a video that breaks it all down for you. Their bikes are the gold standard of street trials, but each model has a slightly different purpose and function.
In this video we'll talk about the Inspired Arcade, Fourplay, Hex, Flow and Link - all the latest models from Inspired. We'll also show the difference between the Inspired Team and Pro models.
If you want to know more about what wheel size is right for you, check out this video: • Which Size Trials Bike...
Inspired has had direct access to the top riders like Danny MacAskill and Ali Clarkson (and plenty more), who have all contributed to the design and testing of their bikes. You really can't go wrong with anything from Inspired - and hopefully this video helps you decide which is best for you.

It's amazing that you've not only got first hand experience on all of these, but also bought several of them yourself and have kept them, that says a lot in itself.
You've said the rest in the clip though and it is on point!
Definitely spent quite a bit of time with all three the past few years! :)
Nice breakdown of the Inspired line. Super useful if you are shopping around for a trials bike, particularly for your first street trials bike.
Thanks! I’ve been wanting to make this video forever. In hindsight (based on my riding style) I should have just bought a Hex right away, so hopefully this helps everyone find the perfect fit for them!
The Flow is also great for its sturdy 4 bolt bash and replaceable non integrated front sprocket, for all the bashes that learners will have.
Great call!
Another good video explaining the 3 inspired bikes ! 👊🏻💯
Thanks so much!
Awesome video just like always!
Thanks so much!!
Great vid! Very useful information 😊 👍🏼
Thanks!! Been wanting to make this one for a while!
I chose the Arcade when I bought my first bike because of the price point and the steel frame. Being a heavier rider (who never seen a trials bike in person) I felt that the steel frame would stand up to the most abuse from a heavy rider. I absolutely love the Arcade. I don’t think a first time rider could go wrong picking any of these bikes. Personally, I’m a huge fan of having both an Arcade and a Hex.
I was pleasantly surprised by the Arcade - the BB was higher than I expected and that made for such a good ride! Pretty sweet that you have a bike on each end of the Street Trials spectrum!
3:24 wow😮😢 fantastic
Present me an Inspired Arcade frame set, I would be very appreciated)))
I don't know which one to choose, they are all amazing. Maybe HEX, but I'd have to take a ride.
Spot on. I've enjoyed all the bikes, but the Hex is my favorite - based on my riding style - without question.
Hi just wanted to ask if you know about the brand Neon and have experience with them. I'm looking at their 26 inch bikes, Neon Bow and Neon Wing. Thanks
I'm not familiar with either bike, but super curious to hear more about them!
I personally think, that the fourplay is much more of a Bmx style bike since it is a lot shorter and more nimble. Spin tricks and Bmx inspired combos work so much better on the fourplay. The Arcade is very heavy, long, and straight forward. Good for trials moves. The hex is just a big fourplay for people over 6 ft or those who like the bigger wheels. I can do Bmx stuff better on the hex than on the arcade. I'd say the order from streety to trialsy is: Fourplay, Hex, Arcade. Also the Frames of Team and Pro models do indeed differ a bit. since 2022 I believe the team models get a different/upgraded fork with a 20mm through axle instead of the 15mm. I learned that the hard way after buying the wrong sized hub for my bike😂 Also the flow sadly is NOT worth the money. If you spend a bit more to get a fourplay for example is absolutely worth it, since it rides 1000 times better. I started on the flow and was getting really frustrated with my riding until I got the opportunity to ride a fourplay. It was so much better and I even learned tricks I couldn't do for sh*t in a matter of one hour. That forced me into buy one myself just a month later😁
the full range is rubbish for actual trials , get a comp set up if you wanna actually reach your peak limit .
Hy
I am 1,81m tall would you recommend a inspired hex or does body size not matter when it comes to wheel size?
Love your videos btw✌️
We're the same height - I would recommend the Hex, although you'd have no problem on a 24" bike. Thanks so much for watching!
I'm trying to figure out what to do for my 9 year old, I've been looking at the Inspired Flow 20 but at $1200USD I would want to know he's going to hold an interest. He already has a very good MTB and a Dirt jumper and I still need to feed him lol. I've looked everywhere for a used kids bike but no luck. He's also got an 18" BMX bike but I read that it's not worth trying to convert.....
He's been watching your videos and then trying on his dirt jumper, thanks for all the effort.
You might also check out a brand called Jitsie, they make a handful of kids trials bikes in the $800 range. Ultimately it's not a bad idea to have him continue practicing on his MTB - all these skills will only help his overall bike control, so it'll be helpful to have them mastered on that bike, too.
Does anyone have any recommendations on where to buy Inspired bikes? I live in Portland Oregon and not aware of any stores locally so I assume online is the way to go. Just starting street trials on a dirt jumper, which works, but kind of want to give one of these a go!
Hey Miles - I live in Portland, too - let's ride!! You can test one of these bikes if you want? Trials Superstore has all these bikes available if you want to order one from a spot in the USA.
@@SuperRiderTV wow that would be an amazing opportunity to meet and check out the bikes live. Would also love to ride but please know I am the total trials newbie (hence watching your channel - to learn!) so down for a ride only if you are ok with that or if you do meet ups to help and ride with trials beginners that would be great too. Regardless would be good to connect with a Portland bike enthusiast so let me know the best way to contact. I will check out a Trials Superstore. Miles
@@milesholland6826 All good, we ride with all levels of riders - happy to have another person in our crew! Hit me up on Discord (link in the description of this video) or Instagram DM and let's get connected!
@@SuperRiderTV can you get an affiliate link for RUclips viewers to support you? If we want to order a bike, you could get some sort of credit?
The alloy ones should be cheaper by all accounts as steel is more expensive to manufacture
Agreed - the spec on the steel bike was slightly different, too. All great options!
jimmy ertzer made a nice video with a Inspired Flow 2022 and was able to perform all the trials and street moves!
Hi Aaron, I came back to this post to leave a comment and request for a comparison video. Can you please make a video with a detailed comparison between the inspired fourplay, the canyon CFR stitched, and the carbon extension? I'll highly appreciate it!
Yeah! Working on updating the Canyon so we can give it a proper test - after that, we can definitely pull something together!
Whats about the Canyon Stiched you had around there ?! 🙂
Currently having a new wheel (hub) built up - should be ready for a proper first ride in the next few weeks!
@@SuperRiderTV Makes totally sense. The wheelset coming with that bike is not so good. I upgraded to IndustryNine hubs and Carbon rims right after unboxing 🙂
@@martinekliw I'm honestly excited to see how it rides once we have the wheel swapped out. I think it'll make a huge difference!
What is the the price of all these bikes
The bikes mentioned in this video range from about $2k to $4k.
Oh ok
Can you do a video on how to wheelie
How much are the bikes?
Anywhere from $1k - $3k (although you could get a used one, or modify an existing bike to get started)
@@SuperRiderTV thanks man I live in Canada but I can't find any
@@SuperRiderTV but how much can I get a used trials bike for?
They have dirt jump geometry. You rather watch usain bolt run in flip flops ?
every video shows comp trials are waaay better for street trials . You wouldn't catch damon watson riding these or neil tunnicliff or jack carthy . Danny mac just needed a dirt jump geometry bike to do 360's and flairs . you buy an inspired and you're artificially capping your limits..25yr trials veteran .
Respect - sounds like we've been riding trials around the same amount of time. Something to consider, would a rider like Brad Simms come into the sport of Trials if he had to ride a comp bike? I'm really interested to see what other people can bring to the sport, and street trials is undoubtedly the easiest entry point for new riders. I don't disagree with any of your points, I honestly love riding my comp bike on street - but I think there's value in the street trials category when it comes to bringing new people into this sport.
@@SuperRiderTV
I dont know that guy i'll look him up .
i rode with damon watson + danny burton ben travis mike kalghy + 8 other high calibre riders +10yrs , we all desperately wanted longer lower bikes +higher bb's..these inspireds are big step backwards BUT as you say its become a good gateway / starter bike .
it has become a pure ''comp chomp '' desert tho , i'm gonna oil my knees and make my own videos( i'm still agile asf somehow 😂) . I started young so ive got that springy charlie flow on things within my height / , hes more technical + more power then me tho /everyone thats not jack tbh 😂 .
Random coincidence trivia... i personally know the inspired bikes ceo Dave 😂, he rode with us several times on a full comp 26'' onza t rex , he's quite good + real nice guy.. hand delivered me my zona zip to my house when i broke my echo urban 26''..
@@TheCraigy83 Agreed - not too many choices for comp bikes these days, and when they finally do become available, they're snatched up quick. I'm currently riding a Crewkerz long frame...definitely way too long for me. Pumped to see you get back on the videos - keep me posted for sure, can't wait to see them!
@@SuperRiderTV
ive not bought one for a while ,i'm lite 115lb ive got 15yr old bike parts in good condition/my zoo bars 😎 i wish i had carbon frame money tho 😂 , i haven't made any videos yet (i'm not craig lee scott ) , hes more powerful then me tbh .
run a shorter stem until your used to it?...post some comp vids good spots with +40'' sidehops +7ft gaps..
i searched up that guy.....🙂👍🏻👍🏻
Having built and ridden (and competed in the British champs last year getting a 3rd place in expert) an actual dirt jump frame as a trials bike I can confirm they are very different compared with a street trials bike. To an untrained eye they may look similar but the longer chain stays, lower bb and slacker head angle make a huge difference.
There's a reason why street trials bikes have the geo they do...the riders wanted it. Sure the shortness might make TGS style street a bit harder but that's not the type of riding that riders will be doing on these (though it's certainly still possible)...these are much more about all-round ability than maximizing power moves, manuals, spins, flips plus trials is where these shine and the top riders (Danny Mac etc) are as equally skilled as Damon and Jack Carthy only in a slightly different form of trials.
