“May the 4th” be with you.

Today it’s with us all (technically). But if you dream of harnessing the force and accomplishing your galactic objectives, you can now purchase a “Mandalorian Edition” GT Pro Performer 29 (which is basically the same thing as fighting for the New Republic).

My first two questions: Is it made of Beskar steel, and does it have a special bubble-canopied seat for my little green foundling?

Doesn’t look like it, but fans of Star Wars universe smash hit The Mandalorian will find plenty of other embellishments and inclusions aimed right at their fully-armored sweet spots.

Clan Mudhorn signets adorn Beskar-inspired paint with Dark Saber reflective decals. There’s also stitched leather to fit the show’s cowboys-in-space theme.

Grogu gets his turn, too, with a few embossed inclusions.

I have to admit, whether or not you give a Bantha crap about Star Wars or even sci-fi, the bike is a looker. GT has a knack for freestyle, and the Pro Performer 29’s got angles and shapes that boldly go. (See what I did there?) Chef’s kiss for the five-spoke mags and this Tatooine-esque photo from GT.

I don’t know what I’d do about the brown padding, but that’s just me. And anyone who’s read this far has reasons all their own, and therefore unlikely to chop up this collector’s rig. After all: This is the way.

The bike is a 36/16 singlespeed. Full specs available on GT’s website. Check it out there for $1,200 MSRP — exchange rate for stolen Imperial Credits is unknown.

Nothing says flatland freestyle like 29” wheels

With the hype GT was trying to stir up for this, (countdown timer to reveal day, “Get on the email list to be 1st to know”, etc), you’d think GT reinvented the wheel. If you want a Star Wars tribute big BMX this is the bike. Future collectable? If you just want a big bmx ‘wheelie bike’, there is a lot out there. Growing up, the GT company used to excite me. I know they got sold and all that, but they seemed to have lost their way a long time ago.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.

I ordered one, perfect commuter bike. Or maybe just keep in box and see if it does better than crypto

LOL, this is about as far off a perfect commuter bike as you can go.
