Frame Geometry

A: Top Tube Length:  21″ – Learn what size is right for you here.Opens in a new tab.

This is a long toptube.

Perfect for riders that are between 5’10” to 6’2″

B: Chain Stay Length: 13.5” – Learn About Chain Stays HereOpens in a new tab.

This is a longer chain stay! This will give you more control and stability.

C: Head Tube Angle: 75° – 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: 11.6″

F: Stand over height: 9″

This is a medium standover.

A tall standover gives you more stability and will make bars, and t-bogs easier.

2020 Subrosa Novus (Burnett) 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 (Burnett) 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
