Verde Cadet 2011

Verde Cadet 2011 BMX Bike Review

The first year of this bike, the 2011 Verde Cadet is an entry-level lightweight freestyle BMX bike that comes in purple, red or teal. The Verde Cadet comes with a 20 inch steel frame along with a mid-sized plastic seat with integrated post. At 2.78, the 25/9 gearing ratio along with a Taya 410 black chain allow for greater acceleration and a very easy ride for beginners learning new tricks. It also comes with a painted front rim as well as matching Chris Doyle signature duo grips that match the color of the frame. The 2.0 inch multi-terrain front and rear tires allow good grip on a variety of surfaces. It also contains a two piece sealed bottom bracket, which prevents water and dirt from penetrating.

As with all BMX bikes, there are pros and cons. Some of the pros for the 2011 Verde Cadet are:

• Extremely lightweight at 25.6 lbs
• Good value
• Color schemes
• Good speed and acceleration

Some of the cons for the 2011 Verde Cadet are:

• Plastic pedals
• Uncomfortable seat
• Slightly smaller frame

The price for this model is around $275 but can range anywhere from $250 to $300. Even though there are some flaws with the 2011 Verde Cadet, the features that you get combined with the price make this bike a great addition for any rider. If you are either beginner or an experienced rider that wants to learn something new, I recommend this bike as its value is unmatched by any other BMX bike line.
