This Holy Diver frame is a popular choice for s&M lovers. That sounds bad… Anyway, The trans colors are amazing. I’m in love with that red. The geometry is designed to be quick and responsive, which is different for most s&m frames that aim for a controlled ride.

S&M Holy Diver Frame Overview
Designed to be responsive and built to take a beating. Thick, micro shaped heat-treated drop-outs are ultra-strong and allow for ample peg clearance. Taller head tube reduces the number of spacers needed. Laser-cut top tube gusset for added strength. Modern street geometry works well on almost all terrains.

This is a medium length chain stay. It provides a good balance for control and responsiveness.
Run it slammed for 12.7″
Run it extended for 13″
C: Head Tube Angle: 75º – 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: 11.7″
F: Stand over height: 9″
This is a tall standover. A tall standover gives you more control with barspins and t-bogs. But makes whips harder.
Conclusion
If you are a technical street rider, you will like this frame. The responsive back end and tall standover give you control and responsiveness. Never doubt the quality behind these s&m parts, even with a $400 price tag.
