2020 Kink Whip XL Overview
One of our most popular models, the Whip, is also available in a XL 21” toptube size. This beast is constructed using full 100% 4130 chromoly throughout the entire frame, fork and handlebar set. Complimenting this strong, durable structure are sealed bearings everywhere; headset, bottom bracket, and both front and rear hubs. The front rim has also been upgraded to the Mission Mylar
, giving this bike double wall rims both front and rear. Topping off all the great functionality, the Whip XL comes in a new Matte Dusk Turquoise colorway.
Featuring Kink Stryker forks, the 9.25” Kink Buffalo CC bars and Kink Ridge 3-piece tubular chromoly cranks, the Whip XL is fitted with great components featuring modern geometry. Adding to all these specs are the comfortable Kink Ace flangeless grips, Kink Hemlock pedals, and Stealth seat and seat post. Retailing for a price everyone can agree with, the Whip XL cannot be beaten.
