2020 Fly Sion Overview

The Sion is designed to be Fly’s fast and flowy park machine, just the way we like it! Fly improved the 2020 Sion following Larry Edgar and Sem Kok preferences, using the Volcano FL 2 stem along with upgraded gearing using a 28-tooth sprocket for those of you guys who like to go fast! The Sion is also stacked with all of our Flybikes CNC parts, Fuego tires and more making it a top of the line complete.

2020 Fly Sion Price

I think $720 is a lot of money for a bmx bike. The Sion is best for a rider who knows that they will stick to bmx for a long time. Even though it is expensive, it will last a long time.

2020 Fly Sion Quality

Lots of aftermarket parts show the true quality of the 2020 Sion. Expect this bike to last a long time because it is built with some good parts.

Fly Tractor Sprocket: An aftermarket sprocket that is thicker than most.

Volcano ST StemOpens in a new tab.: The brand new Volcano ST stem comes with a shorter 48mm reach and a taller, more street-friendly 35mm rise, to make your ride not only ultra-responsive but also amazing looking too.

Highlights

Solid for park riding

A lot of kids get bikes and know for sure that they want to be a park rider. If this sounds like you, you need the sion. The specs will make it easy to progress in the park.

Lowlights

The 2020 Orion is over $700 and that’s a lot of money. Especially for a beginner.

My parents bought me my first BMX bike in 2011 and it changed my life. This bike has taken me all over the world and introduced me to cool places and cooler people. My goal is to help get 1,000,000 people into BMX so they can experience the joy and freedom that comes from a progression based sport.
