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 British rider 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 BMX park talent signed to fellow Brit Bas Keep's Tall Order team back in 2019 and has been pushing the boundaries of what's possible on a 20' wheel 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 – Reilly 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.
A tubeless setup helped minimise the risk of a blowout

The rest of the bike is divided between Tall Order and Federal components – including Reilly's signature Tall Order Reilly Park tyres – but there are some interesting tweaks that you won't find on a bog-standard BMX. He opted to run a tubeless set-up for both wheels, helping him minimise the chance of a blowout from the sheer impact of the landing. Reilly also kept his gyro set-up for the attempt, this is what allows him to rotate his handlebars a complete 360° rotation – Eclat's caliper was relied on for 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.
