Cult Hawk V3 Frame Geometry
A: Top Tube Length: 20.5″, 20.75″, 21″, 21.25″ – Learn what size is right for you here.
There are size options for every size rider. Except a 20″, really small riders need a 20″.
B: Chain Stay Length: 13.5″ – Learn About Chain Stays Here
This is a long chain stay. A long chain stay will give riders more control and stability.
C: Head Tube Angle: 74.5.º – 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: 8.75″
This is a medium to tall standover. A tall standover will give the bike more control, and make bars and t-bog easier.
Conclusion
A strong Cult frame, if you like cult and like Chase Hawk, you will like the frame. It is designed to allow you to ride with a lot of control and flow. This frame is not for a really responsive tech rider.
