The Good:

Looks cool, interesting combo between fat seat and slim seat

The Bad:

Wish it was slightly more comfortable

Overall Review: Very cool seat. Glad that I own one.

The Good:

Classic look, durable, good rise

The Bad:

a bit too wide, had to be cut for me personally

Overall Review: Very good bars, very durable and have the classic animal big4 design. ED paintjob looks perfect. Personally i own 9 inch rise, 9.5 looks stupid.

Super comfortable. Love the flanges

One grip tore after about 8 months of riding it

Posted by DanTheBikerMan on 9/24/2020 9:44 PM

Wish it was a little longer, but theres always other seatposts out there

Overall Review: Its a seatpost. Works good.

Posted by DanTheBikerMan on 9/24/2020 9:42 PM

Everything - good weight, geometry, color, styling.

Nothing. Wish I had more pairs.

Proper street shredding in the UK courtesy of Emerson Morgan and Animal. Great spot usage.

Posted by kylecarlson on 6/26/2020 8:23 PM

The Good:

Heard they last long
Good grip
look good
still have skinny options

The Bad:

A bit heavy

Overall Review: These tires look and feel great but one thing is coming from demolition momentum's they do feel a bit heavy but its 100 percent worth it considering the looks and the great grip and durability.

Posted by jabrinkabmx on 1/12/2020 11:44 AM

The Good:

big platform
durable pins
good grip
look good good color choices

The Bad:

nothing my favorite pedals I have had

Overall Review: These my are my pedals of choice because of the big platform and good grip makes it so you rarely slip an get the terrible shiners and durable pins that take a long time to wear down. Also very good colors.

Posted by jabrinkabmx on 1/12/2020 11:40 AM

The Good:

look beautiful
responsive
good geometry
clean welds
very durable so far

The Bad:

nothing at all

Overall Review: Best bars I've ever had they have held up perfectly for the 3 months i had them and almost got my bars down clean, also everybody compliments them 😎😎

Posted by jabrinkabmx on 1/12/2020 11:36 AM

The Good:

No pins popping out, heavy outer plates

The Bad:

Thinner weaker inner plates, the half link stiffens up leaving a stiff link tried using chain tools to fix but still persisted also halflink has a smaller distance so feels either too short or too long. Chain has a different length then a 510 slighly longer.

Overall Review: Not as great as i thought but no breaks or real issues. Switched back to 510hx and found the sweet spot on my dropouts. With no halflink With the 710 it felt short or too long so has a different spacing then the 510 regular full link types

The Good:

Everythings good

The Bad:

The hollow bolts will snap eventually especially if you tighten them hard

Overall Review: Looks cool and hasnt slipped but get solid bolts for it

Posted by Notrickfix on 10/21/2019 4:47 PM

The Good:

Everything except...

The Bad:

The pins that are smaller internally hexed fill with dirt and strip easy the tool allen it comes strips too The other pins on it are the more common type and are fine to replace

Overall Review: Needs better pin design,

Posted by Notrickfix on 10/18/2019 3:35 PM

The Good:

Durable, hard compound, ran over a big rusty bent nail went through the tread and sidewall but still going without any visible holes, keeps its shape, run at 85 psi the 2.1.
Pulled out lots of glass pieces and no flats ever except for the nail.

The Bad:

Tread is a bit slick but no slip outs yet

Overall Review: The front tire still has a good amount of tread left, the rear obviously is fairly worn but still going after about a year and a half. Best tire ive run so far works well in all conditions 

Posted by Notrickfix on 10/18/2019 3:09 PM

The Good:

Everything

The Bad:

No longer made.

Overall Review: If you like Alloy pedals and find these for a deal, buy them. Legendary status!

Posted by kylecarlson on 12/21/2018 7:27 PM

The Good:

Strong
Beefy
Withstand punishment
Full Street tire

The Bad:

Tire design is bulky.

Overall Review: I have no complaints myself. Everybody says they hate the thread of the tire but its perfect to me. The GLh tire is great but god this tire does damage to the street. Never got a flat with these. Could break a bottle with them and my tube was fine.

Posted by WiteMic on 7/28/2018 3:38 PM

The Good:

Good thread
Good Look

The Bad:

Don't ride in dirty area's

Overall Review: I rode this tire for YEARS. I loved it... until I moved to a place with dirty street. New Orleans streets are grimier than most. Glass everywhere. Unfortunately these tires can't handle that. Granted, most can't but these are perfect for cities with roads that people take care of.

Posted by WiteMic on 7/28/2018 3:34 PM

The Good:

Strong
Sleek
easy to put on

The Bad:

The Grease Pack was trash

Overall Review: Animal is known for top notch products and the Akimbo cranks are on that list. I can't think of anything bad besides the grease pack. They hold up through the toughest of punishment. I put them through hell and they lasted 3 years before I sold them. It's been 4 years since I sold them and the g...

Javi Quintero for Animal (video)

Javi has been repping Animal for a while, but is now formally on their AM team. To celebrate, he stacked a ton of solid street clips on a ton of spots you've probably never seen before. He's good.
