Raleigh is celebrating the 35th birthday of its classic Aero Pro Burner BMX with a limited edition replica of the original bike. If you missed out as a child in the eighties, this is your chance to right that wrong with an authentic Burner experience.
The replica aims to be as close to the original as possible, with a deep chrome finish and black componentry that includes classics like Dia-Compe MX-1000 brakes.

Raleigh has also announced two classically-styled balance bikes for those who want to relive their childhoods vicariously. The Sherwood is a fun-sized version of a classic sit-up-and-beg town bike, complete with tiny wicker basket, while the Burner balance bike is a pedal-less BMX that’s even smaller than an actual BMX.

Both will retail at a decidedly un-retro £120, and as with the full-sized Burner, prospective purchasers are encouraged to register their interest.
