This is a longer chain stay. It gives you a more stable and controlled feel.

Steep head tube angles make the bike “snappy” meaning more responsive to fast turns.
A less steep head tube gives you more control.

2021 Subrosa Malum Quality

2021 Subrosa Malum Conclusion
I really like the Malum. The Matte Raw color is sick. It is designed for a rider who is right at that mid-level and learning tricks like barspins, 360’s and even trying tailwhips. The Malum will hold up to these kinds of tricks and will help you progress to the high-level.
