Check out Kieran Reilly’s custom Tall Order 187
The rising star of British BMX has just thrown down the world’s first triple flair. Find out all the key details about the bike he used for the trick.
It takes most professional BMXers years of hard graft to get their first signature frame. Kieran Reilly is no different. The rider from Gateshead has been refining his spins and flips for more than a decade. The difference is that he’s managed to score his own signature colourway, and is still only 20 years old.
The exciting British BMX park talent signed to Bas Keep’s Tall Order team back in 2019 and has been pushing the boundaries of what’s possible on a 20” bike ever since. As well as his own rose gold finish on the brand’s 187 V3 frame, he has a smattering of signature Tall Order components.

For his latest project – the world’s first triple flair – Kieran was able to choose a frame that he knew like the back of his hand. The third iteration of Tall Order’s 187 frame is made for the whips and rotation of park riding, while its tapered chainstays allow for the fitting of a larger sprocket – enabling riders to crank into jumps with even more speed.

The rest of the bike is divided between Tall Order and Federal components – including Kieran’s signature Tall Order Reilly Park tyres – but there are some interesting tweaks that you won’t find on a bog-standard bike. He opted to run a tubeless set-up for both wheels, helping him minimise the chance of a blow out from the sheer impact of the landing. Kieran also kept his gyro set-up for the attempt – Eclat’s caliper relied on for its breaking power.
Finished in his signature rose gold and with Red Bull decals on the frame and stem, this was a custom build made for a record breaker.
