WE STEM FROM A STEM.

DK Bicycles was founded in Dayton, Ohio by Charlie Danishek in 1979.

Charlie was an engineer with GM. His children, Bill and Nikki, were both accomplished BMX racers. The Danisheks’ love for the sport combined with Charlie's knowledge of manufacturing drove the patriarch to design his company's first product: the now legendary DK BMX stem. For 15 years after its inception, DK stems defined the state of design in BMX.

Since 1994, DK has also been making BMX frames, including the iconic RM59, General Lee, Colin Winkleman’s signature S.O.B frame, and the late Team frame. This led to DK’s first line of complete BMX bikes in 1997.

From there, we’ve never looked back.
