Its design is so iconic that the Motomag is instantly recognized by BMX enthusiasts worldwide and an original existing set of Team issued magnesium Motomags recently sold for over $20,000,” said Bill Curtin, owner of B.M.X. “The Motomag changed the sport of BMX, allowing riders to go faster, harder, and bigger than ever. Although out of production for almost 30 years, the Motomag was certainly not forgotten and recognized around the world to this day. In 1978, Mongoose launched the Motomag II, which built on the popularity of the first generation, and manufactured them until 1984. Motomag wheels were standard equipment on BMX bikes in the mid-1970s and defined the aesthetics of early BMX racing.

With the success of the Motomag, Hess started a new bicycle brand he called Mongoose. He then started producing alloy versions of the Motomag that became a mainstay in the sport with their combination of durability and lightweight performance. In 1974, automotive wheel designer Skip Hess took matters into his own garage and produced the first cast magnesium BMX wheel, the Motomag. As the sport rapidly evolved, bike technology was pushed to its limits, and frequently beyond them as riders regularly damaged or bent their bike wheels. In the early 1970s, BMX was born when riders in Southern California began racing bikes on motocross tracks. On September 27, Mongoose will offer BMX enthusiasts and retro collectors the chance to pick up the third generation – Motomag III – of the brand’s most storied product.
