The Kink Whip XL BMX bike features a 100% 4130 Chromoly  frame making it both lighter and stronger than an equivalent frame made from High Tensile Steel frame.

This 20" BMX bike has many high end components including the Mission Engage fully sealed rear 9 tooth, 14mm cassette hub giving you confidence this will keep you rolling maintenance free. This combined with the Mission Foxtrot sealed front hub are both laced onto Mission Mylar double walled rims with 36 spokes. These are running on Kink Sever 2.4" wide tyres with a knurled tread pattern designed for all different types of riding.

The Kink Ridge tubular BMX cranks are made from Chromoly and are 170mm long. These have a 19mm diameter, 8 splined spindle and sealed bottom bracket bearings ensuring your ride is maintenance free. Completing the drive chain is a Mission Charge 25 tooth aluminum sprocket and Kink Hemlock pedals.

Up top there's Kink Form flangeless grips on 9.25" rise Kink T925 Chromoly bars which are clamped to a Kink Bold HRD top load stem. The Mission Token brake lever connects to the Mission Cease V2 rear brake via a Mission L4 Linear cable to give you good stopping power.
