This bike is built in our workshop before dispatch, and we often have a queue. The current lead time can be seen by adding this bike to your basket. Some basic assembly is required on arrival, we are happy to help if you need.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Due to stock shortages with Inspired, all 2023 Fourplay Team bikes will be supplied with 15mm Pro forks, and 15mm front hubs for the foreseeable future. All bikes have been discounted to reflect this change. The Pro fork uses exactly the same legs, steerer tube and dropouts as the Team fork. Only the axle size and spacing are different.
Ex-display bike is a new bike that was assembled, and used to display at the Malverns Classic. It has no marks, or signs of use. It is available in the specification as picture ONLY. We have reduced the price to reflect the non-standard spec, and that it has been used for display.
Industry Nine Hydra Hub Upgrade now available for the Fourplay Team on all special order bikes! Available to select at the basket page when you choose your Fourplay Team.
- New updated geometry for 2023!

-The new Fourplay Team from Inspired has been given a long awaited overhaul. Developed with feedback from team riders Ben Travis and John Langlois has resulted in new geometry featuring a shorter wheelbase, steeper head angle and slightly higher BB making the Fourplay even more capable and agile for the most demanding street riders!
-
New Cane Creek eeWings crank set option now available to special order. Extensively tested by Inspired team riders, the eeWings cranks have proven to be a super light, and strong crank option for trials use with a 10 year warranty! Supplied with a custom, individually numbered, integrated bash ring designed to fit perfectly with an integral axle spacer. Cane Creek's own Hellbender 70, sealed bottom bracket finishes off this ultimate drive train set up. Total weight for the cranks, BB and custom bash rings is only 576g!
Please note The Cane Creek eeWings cranks are
ONLY supplied on complete bikes and cannot be purchased separately.
- New head tube design now features fully integrated headset bearings for a cleaner front end whilst saving weight.
- The new Trialtech Team chain tensioner has been completely redesigned and now uses an integrated bracket, smaller spring with an additional thumb rest making removing the chain much easier. The more minimal design saves weight and tucks the tensioner further up into the chain stay. Chain wrap has been massively improved, with the new tensioner offering the most chain wrap we've seen from a sprung tensioner!
- Top cap design screws into the threaded steerer tube and allows the hose to be routed through the steerer if required. We can send the bikes with the hose through the steerer if you like, please also purchase the correct brake model option of this
Workshop Item if you would like the hose to be routed through the steerer.
If you do not add this item, the bike will be sent with the hose NOT routed through the steerer as shown in the pictures.

This bike is supplied with a 6 month warranty covering manufacturing and materials defects. The warranty does not cover mistreatment or poor maintenance. Please ensure all the details on the warranty sheet supplied with the bike are adhered to. Certain circumstances (such as stripped threads or rounded crank arm tapers) only occur due to a lack of correct maintenance and all manufacturers are aware of these situations, so any claims due to incorrect maintenance procedures are much less likely to be successful.
We build this bike to a 100% complete state in our workshop before dispatch to ensure all items are manufactured correctly and nothing is missing, but we do have to remove some parts to ensure there is no damage during transit. You will need some basic tools (usually 4mm, 5mm, 6mm and 8mm allen keys and a 15mm spanner) for final assembly upon arrival. We have a video guide here to help, but please don't hesitate to contact us if you require any further assistance.
Please note that the specification on the bike may occasionally vary slightly from the photos and description. If this happens then the overall effect will be an upgrade and it will not affect the cosmetic appearance of the bike drastically.

Fantastic!

Having not ridden trials for what seems like far too many years, the desire to get back into it finally got to me and i ended up spending a lot of time browsing TartyBikes trying to make a decision - The result being a Fourplay Team 2023 in Purple with the upgrade to Industry Nine hubs - definitely the best choice ive made in a while! :) The bike is absolutely stunning, the online pictures dont do the colour enough justice! Aesthetics aside, the bike feels really good - as a taller rider (6 foot 1) i was slightly concerned a 24" wheel bike might be a little small for me, but this isnt the case at all, once on the bike it feels just right! Its definitely going to take me some time to get my head back around riding trials, as well as the change from 26" to 24", but im enjoying it so far, its a very confidence inspiring bike! Many thanks to all at TartyBikes for their help, and putting up with my last minute change of mind on colour!

I started riding trials on a dirt jumper for a couple of years and loved it. I wanted to see if an actual trials specific bike would be worth the upgrade, and boy was it! The bike feels like its half the weight of my DJ bike and when I do forward pedal hop lunges on it, I can get into a better position with my body thanks to the frame geometry and longer stem, I can at least go a foot or two longer hops now. I also want to mention I was coming from 26-inch wheels on my dirt jumper and was somewhat sceptical of the 24s that are on the Fourplay. But to be honest I actually prefer the smaller wheels as I feel they are slightly more manoeuvrable, and compact than the 26s. I also did end up getting the I9 Hydra hub upgrade and was super stoked about that. Since inspired builds the wheels from scratch anyway, I think it's cool that they give you that option. Lastly, the Tarty Bikes team was super helpful, and replied to any questions I had via email before, and after I got the bike. They also did a really good job packaging the bike, as it came to me in Canada in perfect condition! Another thing I want to mention was that when I was unboxing the bike I might have accidentally lost or thrown away the front hub end caps for the hydra hub, as I unboxed the biked rather quickly and messily. I showed a picture to Ben from Tarty Bikes as I wasn't sure if something was wrong with the hub, and he identified the issue before things were destroyed. I now have the end caps securely fitted to the bike and everything is running smoothly!

Hi Aidan
Thanks for the great review! Good to hear you're enjoying your new bike, the Fourplay is one of Inspired's most popular models, it's easy to see why with how manoeuvrable and versatile they are! Glad you found the end caps, always good practice to check the packaging 100%, sometimes small parts can try and escape!
Ben
