To us, green means fresh, new, and always changing. We started Verde in 2007 to create a simple, yet exciting brand of bikes that are clean, classic, and make BMX a better experience. We aspire to build something better again and again.\r\n\r\nSince 2007, Verde has pushed the limits of what BMX bikes look like. We built bikes in small batches allowing us to focus on details not possible in mass production. Investment cast head tubes, ED plated colored spokes, the first complete bike frames with an integrated Pivotal post, and a color story like none other. When the rest of BMX goes black, Verde stays true to its name. A wide array of colors separate Verde from the crowd.\r\n\r\nOften imitated. Never duplicated. Only our bikes truly look (and ride) like a Verde.\r\n\r\nThanks for joining us on our journey.","parent":0,"count":6,"filter":"raw"}],"product_brand":[873],"product_cat":[169,453],"product_tag":[454,782,794,522,754,793],"class_list":{"0":"post-8704","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"brand-verde-bmx","7":"product_brand-verde-bmx","8":"product_cat-bikes","9":"product_cat-kids","10":"product_tag-18bmx","11":"product_tag-782","12":"product_tag-cadet","13":"product_tag-kids-bmx","14":"product_tag-matt-black","15":"product_tag-verde","17":"first","18":"instock","19":"sale","20":"shipping-taxable","21":"purchasable","22":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"\nVerde Cadet Matt Black 18'' -
