Hi guys, I had this bmx for a couple of months and i'm trying to spend some money into it.
Any tips are welcome (performance and cosmetic)
Thanks in advance!
I would swap out those pedals. Maybe bars if you just want to buy something. New chain never hurts

Get a seat post and pivotal seat, id suggest better pedals are they look gross for grip (No offence at all), if you wanna really treat urself id go for a new stem as well with some nice matching bars to colour code it nicely. At the end of the day tho its ur bike, you dont have to listen to anyone as its UR bmx, make it ur own art. I like getting artsy parts/awesome quality parts and nice stickers to make a statement, my kilian roth sig is my show piece (posted it on the subreddit I believe) anyways good luck with the upgrading, all in all tho, you’ve got a solid bike 🤝🏼

Feel parts first, grips/pedals then tires then seat. Then everything else is preference or when it breaks

Pedals for sure. Flip the stem around the way it’s meant to be. Chain, grips and tyres always feel good to change, makes the whole bike feel much nicer.
If you’re willing to spend a bit more, replace your cranks with something with 48spline, they will be much stronger, stiffer and overall better. Get a new bottom bracket and sprocket while you’re on it and have a whole new, refreshed drive train.

Looks like you don’t have bar ends, please get one asap before something really bad happens. I agree with most that a new pair of pedal will do wonders, maybe even a tire.

I don’t know why this isn’t the top comment – Get barends!!! Or you risk serious injury.
Anyway, performance wise, new pedals and grips. I recommend ODI grips.
As for visuals, just get a ton of black stickers from brands and what not and stick them everywhere 🙂 Will look a little more “bmx-y”. Happy riding!

Not exactly performance or cosmetic but mate those pedals are referred to as “bear traps” for a good reason haha once you slip a foot off and they whip around and bash into your shins you will know exactly where the name comes from haha
Replace them for health reasons haha they FUCKING HURT
Cosmetically, id change up the colour a little, it’s excessively grey and that gives off the rattle can effect, no matter how good or legit the finish is… Maybe change up the forks, bars and crank arms to black to give the grey a background colour and make it stand out more, adding that teal rim colour to the stem, seat clamp and pedals will tie it all together nicley

One of the coolest bikes I’ve seen. 👌🏼
