Aaron Lutze's Inspired Arcade
This is the most “street” of the Inspired street trials bikes, and it shows. Looking at it up close, it looks like a giant BMX frame with components to match. Surprisingly, it handles proper trials a lot better than I would have expected. Ali Clarkson had a big hand in the development of this steel street trials bike. It seems as though they thought of everything when it came to dialing in this bike. I could see just about anyone with a BMX background hopping on this bike and instantly throwing it down.

BMX Cranks
Most of the “Pro” spec bikes in the Inspired lineup have Truvativ or Hope cranks, but the components on this bike have been custom selected for maximum results on street.
Rear Triangle
Minimalist! With the frame material, they could go to a smaller tubing, but you can see in the dropouts and BB yoke that they’ve kept it tidy as well. This rear triangle is a work of art, truly.
Steel Forks
Steel is real! This bike has a solid feel with the fork and frame both being Japanese CroMoly. Despite the general mindset that steel is heavy, this bike comes in at 25 lbs (11.7 kg), which is not bad at all for a street trials bike. Sturdy, yet nimble.
