Frame Geometry

A: Top Tube Length:  20.75″ – Learn what size is right for you here.Opens in a new tab.

This is a medium toptube.

Perfect for riders that are between 5’6″ to 5’8″

B: Chain Stay Length: 12.75” – Learn About Chain Stays HereOpens in a new tab.

This is a medium chain stay designed to balance tech and flow riding.

C: Head Tube Angle: 75° – Learn About Head Tube Angles HereOpens in a new tab.

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: 11.75″

F: Stand over height: 8.5″

This is a medium standover.

A tall standover gives you more stability and will make bars, and t-bogs easier.

2020 Fiend Type A+ Price

As with any high-level bike, the type A+ is over $600. I think this is expensive for a beginner rider, but is perfect for someone who wants a really good quality bike, but doesn’t want to build a $1500 custom.

2020 Fiend Type A+ Quality

There is very little that is low quality on this bike. Here is what I like about the quality on this bike.

  • Full chromoly
  • Double Wall Rim
  • Aftermarket Mission parts

Highlights

Street Dream

Made perfectly for street riders by designing the specs to help you learn hops, bars, and 360’s easilly.

Lowlights

A little expensive

I think that $650 is a lot of money. Even though the quality is right, the price is a lot!

Buy if you are learning:

  • Bars
  • 180
  • 360
  • medium airs/transfers
  • Whips

Don’t buy if you are learning:

  • Good for anything!

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.
