2021 Kink Whip - In depth review

2021 Kink Whip Specs:
A: Top Tube Length: 20.5″

This is a short toptube.

Designed for riders who are 5′ 6″ to 5′ 9″

B: Chain Stay Length: 13.25”

This is a longer chain stay, it will give you more balance when doing manuals and pulling up for higher bunny hops.

C: Head Tube Angle: 75°

Steep head tube angles make the bike “snappy” meaning more responsive to fast turns.

A less steep head tube gives you more control.

D: Seat Tube Angle: 71°

E: Bottom Bracket Height: 11.6″

F: Stand over height: 9″

This is a medium/tall standover.

A medium stand over provides a good balance between responsiveness and control.

While a tall stand over allows you to pinch more of the seat for bars and t-bogs.

This bike is such a beast, it’s got the right weight and everything feels so incredibly sturdy, I love mine so much!

Do you know how long kink takes to restock this time of year? It’s sold out everywhere and I’m hoping I can get one soon.

Just got a whip XL and I couldn’t be happier 🔥🔥🔥 I’m 6’2” 220lbs and the comfort is amazing!

Your website says not to buy this bike if you’re learning handrails, can you please explain why?

[stevepratt]

My Whip XL should be delivered tomorrow. I have a 2020 26" Drifter that i love also.

You definitely earned my subscription! I just ordered mine after taking your bike recommendation quiz. I was astonished of the quality for the price. Thanks Doug!

[BennyAndTheJets]

How would you lighten one of these bikes up a little? I already know the seat post and handle bars? But what else?

[michaelpfeifer]

Just ordered the whip xl. Stil riding at 42y0! I’m gonna use it for dirt. I have a titan 2 build I ride street/flat with. I love kink!

When will you do an indebt review on the 2022 Whip?

[diantemelton]

What makes this bike overkill for a beginner? And what bike would you recommend instead?

[xurzus]

I’m about to buy it, source bmx sells it for nearly 100 dollers less in my country

[Rhapsolin]

Yo i really wanna get into bmx and want a bike that doesnt have to be nearly this good at a lower price range. Mostly something that'll last a while bc im gonna be riding it a lot not just for tricks. İm 5'7. What should i get?

[danijelvidovic]

I am an complete begginer and I want to get my first bike. I'm planning on doing manual's and mostly bunny hops, maybe something more advanced down the line. I've been thinking about getting either the kink launch 2021(hi tensile) or the kink whip 2021(100%chromolly) I'm not sure if the whip is overkill, what do you think?

[edcartera]

I am planning to get a kink whip or sunday ex julian arteaga, which do you think is the best bike for mid level entry?

[JacquelineBrowning]

Love the channel, I have learned a lot. I come from a DH mountain biking background and I am looking for something to play with at the pump track and Ray's indoor park. I have a budget of 700. I am 5'4" and I was looking at the Kink Whip or the Eastern Trail Digger. I plan on getting a dirt jumper and want something to get me through the winter. Thanks for your help! Very much appreciated.

[jaseyjase]

If I’m about 5”10 and a half, 179cm. Not sure if I’m the whip or whip xl. Any advice?

[xofu]

Should I get an sebike or a bmx?(I am a beginner)

[polvoRON]

What do you think about the kink drifter 2021?

[ChinchillaByte]

I had only about 4 or 5 BMX bikes as a teenager. I'm now 26, just got this bike because my car lit on fire & I'm looking for a local job lol. But I just prefer knowing it's all Chromoly. 5'6" 145lbs so ask me in a couple days how I feel about getting back on a bike after all these years lmfao

kink whip is for park, street? for medium level
