    About the Kink Whip: The 2022 Kink Whip BMX Bike takes things to the next level with components made from chromoly and every bearing being fully sealed for pro level strength and performance. The frame, forks, handlebars, and cranks are constructed out of 100% 4130 chromoly, the same material that can be found on top level bikes. Kink didn't stop there. They also included many other parts that can be ordered as aftermarket upgrades such as the Bold stem, Hemlocks, Nexus 25 tooth sprocket, and Duran stealth pivotal seat. It's hard to believe the price when seeing everything the Kink Whip comes with.

    I ride a local's Whip 20.5" often enough and he's a little bigger than me, too. Apart from the weight, which he cut right down with a set of Colony Sweet Tooth forks and some Grifter foldable tires, he's very satisfied with it and hasn't had any issues. Once he finds some more money, he's putting a set of matching chrome Sweet Tooth bars on it, too. Like Doug, it's hard to recommend any other BMX at full retail price. I've seen some exceptions but that's limited on-sale stock. On the other hand, if you have extra money to spend at the time of purchase, it's worth looking at something different than spending extra on new high-quality forks and bars as you'll most likely save some money overall. Look for a complete that features a 1-piece steerer tube fork and everything else on it will be above average quality.

    The first good bike I bought was the 2018 Kink Gap in Lavender splatter, I still ride it today and bought it the summer kink started selling it. The only thing to go on that bike was the front hub stud from grinding, other than that it's solid and it looks like they've kept up with their bikes as well

    I’ll probably buy this instead of Switch because of my 5’6” height. I still wonder if Cult Gateway better due to light weight at 25’ lbs?

  • @marktalii
    @marktalii 2 роки тому +3

    I personally own the Whip XL and I am a heavier rider, around 220lbs.
    The only issue I've had with the bike so far is the sprocket bending, but that was when I was heavier and rode the bike pretty heavily.
