Are you on the hunt for the latest Mike Hoder bike check?
What setup is he running when he’s sending it down massive rails and bombing through the streets?
If you don’t already know – Mike’s bike is built to take an absolute beating.
And if you need proof, just go watch Mike Hoder’s best videos and see for yourself why this dude is an absolute savage.
Mike rides for Animal and S&M Bikes, and as a true BMX legend, he’s got some signature parts to match.
With S&M, he’s got his signature BTM (XL) frame, grips, pedals, and Hoder bars, paired with an Animal chain.
I’ve personally tested both his Skyhigh (9.5″) and High (9″) bars, and let me tell you – these things are indestructible.
(Update #1: I switched to a BSD Raider 10″ bar. Update #2: I’m now riding a Shadow Vultus SG 10″ bar. Update #3: Right now, I ride the Cult Crew bars in 9.65″.)
If you’re looking for a setup that can take anything you throw at it, Hoder’s bike check is definitely worth checking out.

Old Mike Hoder Bike Checks
1. BTML XL 2020 bike check
Here we have a video bike check from S&M with Mike Hoder at the release of his signature BTM XL frame in early 2020. Mike talks about what motivated the changes to make the XL frame from the standard BTM frame.
Changes include a 5” head tube from 4.6” and a 9.5” standover from 8.75”. There are some riding clips in here as well with Hoder shredding through the streets.
One cool fact about this one is that Mike did the sticker graphics himself for the BTM XL frame.
2. What I Ride 2018
In this “What I Ride” video from Ride BMX in late 2018, Mike Hoder gives us a rundown on what parts are on his bike. One cool part on his bike is a sprocket made by Derrick Girard.
It is a 30-tooth quad saw sprocket with BTM on it as well, specifically for him.
There are no riding clips in this one, just a quick rundown of all of his bike’s parts and some of the reasoning for it.
Mike is an absolute savage, so if you’re curious about what he was riding in 2018 and the parts that withstand his insane riding, check it out.
3. Mike Hoder S&M bike check 2017
This video bike check from S&M with Mike Hoder came out in mid-2017 and starts with some hill bombs before Mike explains what parts were on his bike then.
At this time the Hoder Sky High bars from S&M were new.
These come in at 31” wide, 9.5” tall, with 11 degrees of back sweep and 1 degree of upsweep.
There’s a ton of really solid riding in here to go with the bike check which makes it a compact video as well as a bit of a time capsule at the same time.
