Buddy Kick - Now Available in French Vanilla - $3195
That's what the Genuine site says today. I didn't see it this weekend when I peeked, but I may have just missed it. It looks pretty yummy, I have to admit. I need to try a Kick...

The wheels are alloy and will be available mid year to retrofit to earlier Buddys
I had a conversation with a product manager at Genuine in Chicago a while back when I noticed the wheels. They are 2019 model changes.
To make the change will require ordering wheels, wheel bearings and valve stems. When they become available he will email the relevant part numbers and i will pass them on to the community.
They will be available in silver and black for sure and possibly some other colors.
Since we are retired I have plenty of time to stalk these things.

Do you know if these are going to be lighter weight than the older rims?exmayor wrote:The wheels are alloy and will be available mid year to retrofit to earlier Buddys

I hope some people upgrade their wheels to these and sell their old wheels, I have been looking for a cheap set of used wheels for some experiments, like running knobby tires or making a set of studded tires for riding on ice.

I don’t have any weight info. Hopefully they will be lighter to save some unstrung weight. I was,thinking about using the stock rims for some more aggressive tires to,ride some of the milder dirt trails
