Academy delivers reliable, value-packed brakes that suit riders aiming for consistency without compromise. Each brake system is built strong so you can stop safely, ride often and maintain with ease.

Academy was launched in 2012 by Australian pro BMX rider Clint Millar under his Family Distribution business. From the start, Clint aimed to bring pro-level strength and design to beginner and mid-level riders all over Australia. The brand’s roots in the BMX scene mean every frame, handlebar and brake part is made for the real world—abuse, rain, jumps, parks or commute.

Today Academy still shares that passion. Brakes designed decades ago through Millar’s riding feedback are now refined with durable materials and easier servicing to protect riders from hassles on the road. You benefit from tech born in freestyle, tuned for your ride.

• Academy Brakes

• Rider-led design rooted in real freestyling – Academy’s designer and owner learned what matters from parks and ramps, so brakes resist impact and last longer.
• Chromoly and forged alloys where it counts – the same materials used in tougher, high-end builds are used in Academy parts in critical areas, offering strength without luxury pricing.
• Sealed bearings and reliable pivots – keeping joints and moving parts protected from dust and water so brakes stay smooth ride after ride.
• Nationwide parts support – Academy parts are stocked by Family Distribution and 99 Bikes, meaning if something wears out it’s easy to replace without waiting months.
