Frame Geometry
A: Top Tube Length: 20.75″ – Learn what size is right for you here.
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 Here
This is a medium chain stay designed to balance tech and flow riding.
C: Head Tube Angle: 75° – Learn About Head Tube Angles Here
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 B Price
So I think that $499 is a good price for a bmx bike. However, I wish that the frame was full chromoly. This bike is really good if you just want to test out bmx. But if you have dreams of sending really huge tricks later on down the line, go with a full Chromoly bike.
2020 Fiend Type B Quality
The type B is a mid-level bmx bike. Meaning it has medium quality. Here are the good parts on this bike:
- Mission mylar rims
- Sealed Bearings
- Pegs included
- 9″ Bars
Highlights
$500 Price Point
A lot of bikes come right around $300-$500. It is always good to see when a bike comes in at less than $500 because I think parents are more apt to buy a bike for this price.
Lowlights
Tri-moly frame
I wrote a post here explaining the difference in full chromoly and trimoly. A bike that is “trimoly” is a lot weaker as the back end will bend over time with spins.
Buy if you are learning:
- Hops
- Barspin
- 180
- Feeble
- Smith
- x-up ride
Don’t buy if you are learning:
- Tailwhip
- 540
- big drops
- flips
- big 360s
2020 Fiend Type B Conclusion 🤩
If you consider yourself a mid-level rider, who needs a bike that can hold up to tricks like barspins, small 360’s and basic street grinds… this bike will work for you. I think it is a good price for what you get, especially because fiend builds quality stuff.
