Eastern Bikes Shovelhead

While marketed for expert-level performance, the Shovelhead is an excellent choice for an intermediate rider looking to upgrade to a more durable, responsive bike. Its full chromoly construction is forgiving and built to last, making it a solid investment for anyone serious about progressing their skills.

Yes, the Shovelhead includes two cold steel pegs right out of the box. You are ready to hit the street or park for grinding immediately after assembly.

Chromoly is significantly stronger and lighter than standard high-tensile steel. This allows the bike to handle the high-impact stress of freestyle riding without adding unnecessary weight, which makes tricks easier to execute.

The Shovelhead features a 21-inch top tube, which is designed to accommodate riders between 66 and 78 inches tall. This longer top tube provides extra room in the cockpit, offering more stability for taller riders.

The Shovelhead comes equipped with fully sealed hubs. This is a major advantage for maintenance, as sealed bearings are much better at keeping out dirt and grime, ensuring your wheels spin smoothly for longer.

While the Shovelhead is optimized for park and street riding, its robust construction and 2.40-inch tires can handle light dirt jumping. However, keep in mind that its geometry is specifically tuned for technical tricks rather than high-speed dirt trails.
