2020 Cult 2 Short Frame Review


This 2 Short frame is really popular in 2020. I have seen a bunch around the country at other parks. The people who ride it have on thing in common. Responsiveness. The 2 Short geometry is crazy responsive and snappy. Let’s talk about it.

✅ – Room for 2.4″ Tires
✅ – Frame Gussets
✅ – Responsive geometry

Price & Weight are comparative to how good the deal is.

Good deal = 5 Star

This is a super short frame. It will feel incredibly snappy and responsive.

C: Head Tube Angle: 75.7º – 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: 11.65″

F: Stand over height: 8.65″

This is a medium standover. A medium standover gives you more control with barspins and t-bogs.

Conclusion

There is a reason that this Cult 2 Short frame is so popular. I see them all over, and they seem to last really well. Cult has a good reputation for making good parts that people love. If you are a shorter rider, looking for a super snappy and responsive frame, you will love the 2 Short.

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.
