Heres what they say...



The Blender from Charge is designed to be a no compromise 4X/dirt bike, but its hardcore high speed setup means it also makes a superb balls out, short burst singletracker. Hang on while we explain...
Speak to any hardcore dirt jump or BMX rider and they'll tell you that for absolute slam down security, survivability and strength, you can't beat steel. Charge have sourced top quality Japanese Sanko Cromoly steel for the Blender, complete with reinforced head tube and an ISCG chain device mount.

It's this compact nature and unique slack geometry that make it such a fantastic trail hooligan, though.
With the bike down below your knees, it snaps from side to side instinctively. You can't help rip round anything remotely like a berm and we were immediately using parts of the trail we'd never touched before to pump, push and smear the bike along in a brakeless blur of speed.
The super slack geometry really helps here too, and - unlike most BMX-angled BSX bikes - the Blender really comes into its own at genuinely eyewatering speeds.

It let us hit step and rock sections absolutely flat out, without any hint of nerves or flinching, however sketchy the surface or tyre grip. The steel tubing noticeably smooths out trail impacts too, skimming and flowing through trouble rather than beating our arms and feet numb like the alloy bikes tend to do.
The stub stem keeps everything super light, responsive and stumble free at low speeds. Combine the tail-happy tendency of the slick rear tyre and the ease of weight shift (to pinning front wheel traction to getting off the back and float/manual through stuff) and we just couldn't help but go absolutely mental every time we rode it.

Charge's unique Blender is short, low and a phenomenally fun short blast singletrack/street/dirt/whatever hooligan. The geometry works superbly at speed, the steel ride is outstandingly smooth and we just absolutely loved it
