Stacked official word:
Your Kink Launch complete bike is the perfect bike to start riding bmx with room to upgrade and increase value to this bike. Designed for ages 8 to an adult this bike will help you get rolling in the right direction. The top tube is 20.25" long enough to give little guys room to grow into and adults enough room to play. It has a short 13.25" rear end and low 11.6" bottom bracket to make wheelies easy. It comes with a small 25t x 9t gear ratio to make the bike a lot lighter and peddle exactly the same as large sprocket bikes. This combined with the 170mm 3pc crank arm gives the rider more clearance in the crank area to be able to drop in on ramps without hitting and going over the bars. This bike has extra fat 2.4" tires that have knurl wrapped around it to give it extra grip on any surface and excellent control when leaning over and turning. The tall 8.75" bars and the topload stem help to give plenty of room in the front of the bike for tricks like 360's. The wheels are heavy duty with a 14mm axle on the rear and long 3/8" on the front to allow for pegs. If you looking for a bike that is awesome out of the box and can be easily upgraded with anything on our website, buy this bike now.

Why BMX Riders Choose the Kink Launch
20 Inch Freestyle BMX Wheels
The Kink Launch uses the standard 20 inch wheel size commonly found on freestyle BMX bikes.
Modern Beginner Friendly Geometry
The 20.25 inch top tube and 13.25 inch chainstay offer a compact BMX setup for riders whose height and reach suit the bike.
3 Piece Chromoly Cranks
The Mission Triumph crankset gives riders a modern 3 piece chromoly system instead of a basic one piece crank.
Sealed Mid Bottom Bracket
The sealed 19mm Mid bottom bracket provides a lower maintenance bearing system than many basic loose ball bottom brackets.
Sealed Integrated Headset
The sealed integrated headset is another valuable feature for riders learning and progressing in freestyle BMX.
Cassette Rear Hub
The semi sealed Mission Function cassette rear hub provides direct pedal engagement and a familiar drivetrain for learning BMX fundamentals.
5 Problems You Can Run Into With Other Beginner BMX Bikes
1. Basic One Piece Cranks
Some entry level BMX bikes use one piece crank systems that offer fewer modern BMX upgrade options.

3. Basic Headset Bearings
Some inexpensive BMX bikes use unsealed headset bearings that may require additional maintenance.

4. Geometry That Doesn't Suit Freestyle Riding
A bike designed mainly for casual transportation may not offer the responsive geometry riders want when learning BMX tricks.
The Launch features modern freestyle geometry with a 20.25 inch top tube and 13.25 inch chainstay.
5. Components That Need Immediate Upgrading
Some basic BMX bikes use lower specification cranksets, headsets, and bottom brackets.
The Kink Launch already includes several BMX specific components that can support beginner progression.
