2019 Fiend Embryo Type B Price

This is a pretty expensive bike. Fiend has a good name, and good bikes. There are some mission parts used here. Mission is kinks lower end brand. Thats how they are able to make this bike so cheap.

2019 Fiend Embryo Type B Quality

I really think the quality is a little low on the Embryo Type B. Some low end parts include:

  • Single Wall Rims
  • Hi-tensile back end

Everything else on the bike seems pretty good. I just hate single wall rims.

Highlights

Sick Colors

The splatter is a cool idea that not many bike have. I feel like this is kind of unique to fiend.

Lowlights

Single wall rims

I really hate single wall rims. They bend 🙁

Conclusion 🤩

This bike is best for beginners, however most medium level riders can shred this bike without much breaking. Just go east on the spins so that your wheels will stay straight.

My parents bought me my first BMX bike in 2011 and it changed my life. This bike has taken me all over the world and introduced me to cool places and cooler people. My goal is to help get 1,000,000 people into BMX so they can experience the joy and freedom that comes from a progression based sport.
