DP Racing Firebird Velcro / Nylon Pad Set by Flite
When it came time to make the pads for the new DP Firebird Freestyler, the only place to go was to Flite®.
Flite® was provided with the original designs from Neil Park and drew on their knowledge and attention to detail using the correct nylon to come up with the an awesome set of pads.
Set of three for twin toptube frame, stem and bars.
Available with or without stem pad grommet to run a cable through.
PLEASE NOTE: These pads are designed to fit the new 2026 DP FireBird Freestyler frames and do not fit the original 1980s frames. We do have plans to made the 80's pads in the future.
ABOUT FLITE
Flite™ began in the garage of founder DJ Scott with a sewing machine and some ink making bar pads for BMX bikes.
Situated in southern California, as BMX grew in popularity in the 1980's so did Flite, which went on to become the world's largest producer of BMX and Motocross bar pads. Flite invented grip donuts and became a top name for other accessories too like seat covers and number plates.
Flite and DJ Scott Manufacturing were also the makers of accessories for many of the bike companies you grew up with: GT, Redline, Haro, SE Racing, Mongoose, Fox, Auburn, Robinson, Diamond Back and many more.
Bar pads may have fallen out of fashion with the young folk (and ABA racing requirements) but Flite survived and continues the tradition today making the same bar pads, grip donuts, number plates and seat covers you grew up with.
Flite makes the genuine article. Our attic is full of the original art files used to print the pads, we've saved all the original tooling. We're in the same location and, most importantly, we are still making pads by hand in the USA.
Enjoy our re-releases of the original products carefully made to give you the same authentic pads you grew up with.
Whether you're carefully restoring the bike of your youth or putting together a new bike, HAVE FUN and GO RIDE YOUR BIKE!
