The Meybo Clipper — disc race complete bike in Red/Maroon and Purple/Navy colourways. A Shimano MT401 hydraulic disc complete with a 6061-T6 alloy frame, Cr-Mo Lite tapered fork, and SD sealed hubs. If you're looking at this vs the 2026 Clipper: the geometry and spec are the same; these are prior-season colourways at a better price. The bike itself is identical in everything that matters on track.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Clipper a good first race bike?
Yes — it's the right answer for riders who've outgrown a department store bike or a very entry-level complete and want something they can race seriously without immediately swapping parts. The Shimano MT401 hydraulic disc brakes, tapered fork legs, and Meybo race geometry are all proper race equipment. What you give up vs. the Superclass is the carbon fork — and for a developing racer at club-to-regional level, the Cr-Mo Lite fork on the Clipper is perfectly adequate.
What size should I order?
Mini (17.7" TT): riders 3'8"–4'2" (approx. 5–7 yrs). Junior (18.7" TT): 4'2"–4'8" (7–9 yrs). Expert (19.6" TT): 4'6"–5'0" (9–12 yrs). Expert XL (20.6" TT): 4'10"–5'4". Pro (21" or 22" TT): 5'2"–5'8". Cruiser Pro uses 24" wheels — suitable for any class from 8+. Match your USA BMX racing class first, not just height.
What's the difference between the Clipper and the TLNT?
Fork spec and brake spec. The Clipper uses tapered Cr-Mo Lite fork legs, which improve steering response over a straight-leg fork. Pro 21 and above also get a tapered 1.5" head tube on the Clipper. The TLNT runs a straight fork and straight head tube throughout. Both use the same Meybo race geometry. If your rider is racing consistently at local level and wants a meaningful performance step, the Clipper fork is where you feel it most.
Does it arrive ready to ride?
Partially assembled — professional mechanic final assembly required. Hydraulic disc brakes need to be bled and checked before use.
Is it USA BMX legal?
Yes.

Size names (Expert, Pro, etc.) refer to fit — not skill level. A beginner can ride a Pro-size frame. When in doubt between two sizes, go with your USA BMX racing class first, rider height second. Questions? Call us — we size riders every day.
