2023 KINK WHIP XL Review - (The Kink Whip For TALL RIDERS!)

[@ooOlOoo-rp9zk]

imaging not being in the bmx nerd discord 🤡

[@rob_in_sv]

Just turned 50 a few weeks ago. I checked this bike out today at the local BMX shop in El Salvador. I'm 5'11, weigh 220. I'll be purchasing this bike this week since I've been wanting to get back into riding bikes like i used to in the late 80s. I'm excited to get back into the sport.
Right off the bat, I'll be changing the sprocket, tires, chain, and eventually the cranks, pedals. I'm looking forward to customizing the bike.
Thanks for the great reviews Doug. This bike in El Salvador cost $765. Everything is more expensive here.

Just Picked up a XL today and being 6' this bike F***s! Review is OP!

How you like it so far

[@Cod-Convict]

How has the bike been , I’m 5”11 and have been thinking about this bike , I’m 35 and haven’t rode for a few years , I rode a lot when I was younger like 10-20 years old so it’s been awhile and a lot has changed , so I’m looking to get back into it for fun , I don’t do anything crazy , maybe hop down a 6 stair or a little grinding but nothing crazy I’m old now , so just wanted your feedback to see how it’s been working out for you

[@lokusfrog]

Great video. Why is the 21” tt only for 6’ or taller and how come on many websites it says shorter riders can ride a 21” tt?

[@babaganoosh1041]

Just picked up Demolition Momentum Tire - Black / 2.2" and Shadow Interlock Supreme Chain - Black and the pegs and hub guards. What are a few options for some nice light cranks? if it wasnt for me watching your videos i may not have a bike or a different brand. THANKS! 40yo rider

[@nastynate7913]

If you were 5’11” would you recommend getting the Whip XL or just the regular 20.5” TT?
Or neither and find a 20.75” TT bike? Thanks!!

[@Dougsterbob]

if you're 5' 11", the 21" option will fit you good!!

[@nastynate7913]

Thank you for the speedy reply good sir

[@mmedia5727]

@@Dougsterbob how about at 5’10 at 200lbs. 20.5 or 21”?

[@popeskill]

​@@mmedia5727 What did you go with? I'm around that size and can't decide.

[@richardpiceno5719]

Best video yet bro !!

[@lqading..]

What chain and sprocket would u recommend for 200lb+ riders

[@fryarmy-t-tot827]

What is your opinion on the rant twin peaks forks

[@DreamInSeaMajor]

Im 6' 4" and 300lbs trying to avoid going over $500. Is it possible?

[@ivxn4968]

i don’t this so man

[@714Scrappy1503]

I’m 5’11” and weigh 225lb

[@G-DUB83]

I give the 22 Kink Whip XL an 8.25 for MTB trails. At least flow trails. prob a 9 if you upgrade the rims, tires, and pedals, and switch to a spline drive front sprocket.

[@ABunnyVTuber]

just ordered this one, definitely feel like it's a good fit (but I'm also an idiot(?) and ordered a 2022 Stolen Sinner FC)

[@emilyarelyvictor1]

I'm 5.8, is it to long for me?

[@haydenwallace7865]

Hay man has anything changed with the new 2025

[@bro1456]

this is the perfect size.

[@rosswmccallister4866]

S&M tall boy…22 inch TT and S&M ATF XL FRAME also 22 TT

[@714Scrappy1503]

I’m 225 pounds 😢is it kool for me

[@Dougsterbob]

Yes, but typically if you weigh over 200 pounds the components that come with this bike since they’re not aftermarket won’t last a really long time

[@714Scrappy1503]

@@Dougsterbob so what bike do u recommend me the 2023 or the 2022 and why?

[@matthubbard904]

[@amberventura8201]

Why not orange. I like the color.
