2021 Kink Curb Price
Right now, kink has this bike listed for less than $300. That really affordable. The $289 price point makes it one of the cheapest bmx bikes available I’d recommend this for anyone who is looking for a cheap first bike.
2021 Kink Curb Quality
Like many low-quality bikes, the 2021 Curb will not last a mid-level rider very long. It really is just for beginners who want to start learning bmx and just wnat to see if they like the sport.
Highlights
Low Price
The low price point is great because it will get a lot of new riders into bmx. I love these low priced bikes because the open the door to people who would not be riding bmx if bikes this price didn’t exist.
Lowlights
Low Quality
I like how unexpensive this bike is. However, low quality like this scares me. I remember getting on a bike like this when I first started. I broke it along with my face after a few years.
