DK FAQ
Who or what is DK Bicycles?
DK Bicycles (short for Dad & Kids) is an American BMX brand founded in 1979 by Charlie Danishek as a garage company to build better BMX stems. Inspired by his sons involved in BMX Race, DK quickly grew from a garage to a global brand.
What does the DK brand stand for?
DK stands for over 40 years of BMX passion and the principle of testing and perfecting products by riding on all types of terrain ("tested and perfected by riding"). They stay true to their roots and still follow the same approach today. A significant recent step was the return to manufacturing in the USA with their own machine shop in Ohio ("DK MFG").
What makes DK products special?
The specialty lies in their long history, hands-on product development ("tested by riding"), and the recent initiative to manufacture parts in the USA again. The DK Phase stem was the first product from the new Ohio facility, with more planned to follow. This underscores their commitment to quality and control.

DK today offers a wide range of BMX products:
- Complete Bikes: An extensive range for Race and Freestyle (Park/Street/Trail) in all sizes.
- BMX Parts: Frames, forks, handlebars, cranks, pedals, hubs, etc.
