One of the most popular models in the Free Agent range of BMX bikes, the Trail Duster does enough to live up to its name. Competitively priced, this is a versatile bike that's ideal for beginners looking to cut their teeth on flatland trails or dirt jumping. The feature set highlights include a chromoly frame with 8mm drop-outs and heavy duty blade forks. The bike's reinforced gussets provide maximum strength without compromising one of the Trail Duster's major strengths: its light weight. The padded dirt-jumping saddle is well cushioned to absorb those heavy landings, and the freestyle components are generally sound, although the single wall rims are disappointing. The Vanguard Gyro cable detangler lets you practice tricks with 360 degree handlebar rotations. The dirt jumping tires offer all the grip and cushioning you could want. Overall, the Free Agent Trail Duster is flexible enough to have you kicking up dust on flatland trails and dirt jumps alike.


Pros: Light; reinforced with gussets, solid freestyle components
Cons: Single wall rims
