However, AMD has instead branched out into the realm of man-powered transportation. It has been discovered that the company, one of the premiere specialists in high-end computer processors, has added AMD-branded bikes to its fan shop, previously home to caps, shirts, sweaters, stickers, and similar items. Needless to say, this is a bit of a step up.

Right now, fans have two bikes to choose from. There’s the AMD Custom Cruiser, which lacks any gears and only has a coaster brake (used by pedaling backwards). Those who want a more heavy-duty device can go with the AMD Custom Mountain Bike. In addition to a dual-suspension frame, this model sports 21-speed gears, twist-grip index-shifting, and linear-pull brakes. It might not be as technically advanced as, say, AMD’s new Radeon RX 5300 entry-level GPU, but it’s still impressive for a fan shop item.
Both bikes are available for shipping within the U.S. for $299 (plus a $50 shipping charge), and come with a few color options for the frames and tires. AMD has also begun teasing its next big announcement to follow up Nvidia’s RTX 3000 unveiling, by way of a cryptic Easter egg hidden in a custom AMD-themed Fortnite map.
