Stacked official word: "The Kink Downside is the ultimate street and park bike, heavy duty everything, this bike is light enough for tailwhips and strong enough for big drops. The frame has pro geometry and is supported by full 4130 chromoly tubing. The handlebars are a large 9" Kink grizzly bar to give more room in the cockpit, controlible during tricks. The forks are 4130 chromoly with a 1 pc steerer tube to prevent them from bending. The heavy duty wheels will hold up with the 2 Mission plastic pegs included and are fully sealed. The rear hub is a mission freecoaster to allow you to do tricks rolling backwards or forwards. Your feet are supported by the super light Kink tubular 3pc cranks and have a super spinning sealed mid bottom bracket. The small 25t Mission alloy sprocket reduces weight while pedaling exactly like the big sprocket bikes. The brakes have massive braking power due to the 990 technology and the stiff aluminum. The seat is full adjustable to any angle making this bike perfect for any rider. Purchase this bike today, it looks even better in person."
Built for Street. Equipped for Progression.
Looking for a BMX bike that already has the upgrades you've been thinking about?
The Kink Downside BMX Bike is a premium 20 inch freestyle BMX bike designed for street riders, progressing beginners, and intermediate BMX riders who want a complete bike equipped for technical tricks, grinds, fakies, and skatepark sessions.
Unlike many basic beginner BMX bikes, the Kink Downside comes equipped with a 100% 4130 chromoly frame, fork, and handlebars, fully sealed bearings, a freecoaster rear hub, and four nylon pegs with hub guards.
That means you can spend more time learning tricks and less time shopping for major upgrades.
Full 4130 Chromoly Construction
The Kink Downside features a 100% 4130 chromoly frame, Kink Relay chromoly fork, and Kink Foundry 9.5 inch chromoly handlebars with TruTherm heat treatment.
This construction provides a higher specification foundation than the high tensile steel components found on many entry level freestyle BMX bikes.
Mission Pace Sealed Freecoaster Hub
One of the biggest reasons riders choose the Kink Downside is its Mission Pace sealed freecoaster rear hub.
Unlike a traditional cassette hub, a freecoaster allows the bike to roll backward without forcing the cranks to rotate backward while the hub is disengaged.
This makes the Downside especially appealing for riders learning fakies, 180 to fakie combinations, and technical street BMX tricks.
The rear hub features a 14mm axle, a 9 tooth driver, and included hub guards.
Four Nylon Pegs and Four Hub Guards
Want to learn double peg grinds, feebles, or other street BMX tricks?
The Kink Downside includes four Mission nylon pegs and four nylon hub guards, so riders can start developing grind techniques without immediately purchasing a separate peg and guard setup.
Modern Street BMX Geometry
The Downside uses a 20.75 inch top tube, 12.75 inch chainstay, 75 degree head tube angle, and 25mm fork offset.
These dimensions create a responsive street oriented BMX setup for manuals, bunny hops, spins, and technical riding.
Aftermarket Inspired BMX Components
The Kink Downside comes equipped with Kink Ridge 165mm tubular chromoly 3 piece cranks, a Kink Imprint 25 tooth CNC machined 7075-T6 aluminum sprocket, sealed Mid bottom bracket, sealed integrated headset, and wide Kink Wake 2.45 inch tires.
Its Mission Mylar rims and Kink Hemlock pedals complete a serious street BMX package.
Brake Setup Options
The Kink Downside has removable brake mounts and includes an optional Mission Cease V2 rear brake kit.
Riders can choose a brakeless oriented setup or install the included rear brake components according to their riding needs.
Full chromoly. Sealed freecoaster. Four pegs. Four hub guards. One complete street BMX.

Why BMX Riders Choose the Kink Downside
A Freecoaster Comes Standard
Riders who want to learn fakies can benefit from the Mission Pace sealed freecoaster, which allows backward rolling without continuous backward crank rotation.
Full Chromoly Construction
The 100% 4130 chromoly frame, fork, and handlebars provide a higher specification structural package than many beginner BMX bikes.
Four Pegs and Four Hub Guards
The included grinding components make the Downside particularly attractive to riders who want to practice street tricks.
Sealed Bearings Throughout
The headset, Mid bottom bracket, front hub, and rear freecoaster hub feature sealed bearings.
Responsive Street Geometry
The 12.75 inch chainstay and 25mm fork offset create a responsive setup suited to technical street riding.
Higher Specification Components
The Kink Foundry handlebars, Imprint sprocket, Ridge cranks, and Mission Pace freecoaster help distinguish the Downside from lower priced complete BMX bikes.
5 Problems You Can Run Into With Other Beginner BMX Bikes
1. A Cassette Hub When You Want a Freecoaster
Many beginner BMX bikes come with a cassette rear hub.
Although cassette hubs work well for learning BMX fundamentals, riders interested in fakies may prefer a freecoaster.
The Kink Downside advantage: A sealed Mission Pace freecoaster is already included.
2. No Pegs or Hub Guards
Many entry level BMX bikes don't include the accessories needed for grinding.
The Kink Downside advantage: Four nylon pegs and four hub guards come standard.
3. High Tensile Steel Construction
Some basic beginner BMX bikes use high tensile steel frames, forks, and handlebars.
The Kink Downside advantage: Its frame, fork, and handlebars are 100% 4130 chromoly.
4. Unsealed Hub Bearings
Some lower cost BMX bikes use unsealed hub bearings that may need more frequent adjustment and maintenance.
The Kink Downside advantage: Both hubs use sealed bearings.
5. Paying for Multiple Upgrades Later
Upgrading a basic BMX with a freecoaster, pegs, hub guards, handlebars, and drivetrain components can add to the total cost of ownership.
The Kink Downside advantage: These major street oriented components are already included.
5 Reasons the Kink Downside Stands Out From Many Beginner BMX Bikes
1. Mission Pace Sealed Freecoaster
The rear freecoaster hub makes the Downside a strong option for riders learning backward rolling street BMX techniques.
2. Four Nylon Pegs and Four Hub Guards
The included grind setup helps riders get started with street tricks without immediately purchasing separate pegs and guards.
3. Full 4130 Chromoly Frame, Fork, and Bars
The complete chromoly structural package is a major specification difference compared with many entry level BMX bikes.
4. Sealed Bearings Throughout
The sealed headset, bottom bracket, and front and rear hubs provide a modern bearing package.
5. Street Specific Geometry and Components
The short 12.75 inch chainstay, 25mm fork offset, 165mm chromoly cranks, and 9.5 inch Kink Foundry bars make the Downside especially appealing for technical street riding.
