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.

This is one of the most fun and versatile bikes I've ever owned. I have more of a BMX/MTB than a trials background, so I am a lot better at the street side of things right now than pure trials moves. That said, I've been surprised at just how well this performs as a big BMX bike. I've been riding it a lot at a local bike park that has a pump track and jump lines. I can do everything there I could do on my DJ and BMX bikes, plus I get to work on trials skills on the same bike, which has been a lot of fun. All in all, it might be the ultimate skills development bike! The spec on the team bike is fantastic overall, with little that needs changing. At 6'2" I did feel the need to put a trialtech 110x35 stem on there after riding the 90x35 one it came with for a while. And I do feel that the Inspired pedals, though quality kit, are undersized. The bike feels a lot better with the Crank Bros. Stamp 7 Large pedals I put on there. Packaging and service from Tarty Bikes were top-notch, and shipping to California was amazingly fast.

Arcade Review
Posted by James
I have had my arcade for about 7 months now and i thought i would add my opinion on it. I dont think i can overstate how much fun this bike is i got back in to trials after a long time away and started riding a more compy bike but never really felt supper comfortable i did my research and got an arcade and haven't looked back. the frame has a lot of nice deign features like the tidy chain tugs and discrete seat clamp the welds also look immaculate on arrival final assembly was simple thanks to tarty building it up before shipping. rolling bunny hops at speed at rocks and walls feels liberating after having to rely on pedal ups on the old bike i have even been to a few skate parks and had fun carving around the bowls etc which i could never of imagined with my old bike and the arcade feels perfectly capable of more trialsy riding "ive put a slightly longer stem on mine but i am 6'4" " the steel frame seems to be a lot more resilient to dents than an alu frame which is a bonus to. If i got home and it was gone i would buy one again

i don't know where to start. I purchased this bike last week. Delivery was on time and I got an email saying exactly when the bike will be here. The bike came neatly packed into a box with loads of protection around it to stop any damage. When opening the bike it was very easy to build. After riding for a few hours today I'm in love with the bike. I've been through about 4 inspired bikes now including the old Skye and this bike is by far the best bike I've ridden. It's so smooth to ride and looks smart as well. The bike is flawless. I would recommend the bike to anybody. Beginner or pro this bike is made for every level. The bikes colour is very unique and different making the bike stand out from the crowd. Great service from tartybikes as usual. This bike is a MUST buy if your looking to buy an inspired bicycle
