2020 Subrosa Novus (Barraco) Price
While $900 is a lot of money for a bike, this is a pretty typical price for a pro-level ride. You need to be serious about bmx to drop this kind of cash on a bike. So don’t buy it if you are new to the sport.
2020 Subrosa Novus (Barraco) Quality
Pro-level bikes come with outstanding quality. The Novus has full chromoly parts, double wall rims, and even aftermarket parts that are made to a different level. I really love pro bikes because they are ALMOST as good as building a fully custom bike.
Highlights
Great quality
Like I mentioned before, the Novus has really good quality. And that is definitely the highlight. Not many bikes come with quality on this level.
Lowlights
Expensive
$909 is a lot of money to spend on a bike. Don’t buy this is you are new, only spend this much money on a bike if you are a high-level rider that needs a strong bike.
Buy if you are learning:
- Good for any trick

2020 Subrosa Novus (Barraco) Conclusion 🤩
Both the Barraco and the Burnett signatures are pretty much the same. Aside from the different colors, they are both designed for a high-level rider who needs a strong bike to withstand harder riding. Only buy this bike if you are breaking mid-level bikes. This is too expensive and unscary for a beginner.
Frequently Asked Questions
