BMX Meets Mountain Bike: The WeThePeople Swamp Master
Briefly

BMX Meets Mountain Bike: The WeThePeople Swamp Master
"I grew up riding BMX bikes, so this hits a vein of nostalgia for me, and likely many other riders. From the skatepark to dirt jumps, and even dabbled in riding the 20" wheels on some singletrack, and dreamed that someday we would be seeing full-suspension BMX bikes become a reality. WeThePeople have made the dreams of my delusional 14-year-old self come true with the Swamp Master. A fully trail-capable BMX bike with suspension and disc brakes."
"The Swamp Master sits on 20-inch Maxxis Minion tires, 66mm of single-pivot rear suspension via a RockShox Deluxe Select shock, and a 100mm Manitou Machete J-Unit Comp fork with a custom tune. Aside from those very MTB components, the rest of the bike is built up with decidedly BMX components from WeThePeople and Eclat, with Bengal supplying the Ares 3 disc brakes."
The Swamp Master delivers a complete, ready-to-ride full-suspension BMX platform aimed at trail and park use. The bike pairs a 4130 full chromium-moly frame with a RockShox Deluxe Select 170x35mm shock providing 66mm of single-pivot rear travel and a 100mm Manitou Machete J-Unit Comp fork tuned for the platform. It rolls on 20-inch Maxxis Minion tires and combines BMX-specific parts from WeThePeople and Eclat with Bengal Ares 3 disc brakes. The stated weight is 14.5kg (31.97lbs) and MSRP is $1,999.99 USD. The concept follows earlier experiments such as Finger-Crossed and boutique builder efforts.
