B: Chain Stay Length: 13.2”
This is a longer chain stay. It gives you a more stable and controlled feel.
C: Head Tube Angle: 75°
Steep head tube angles make the bike “snappy” meaning more responsive to fast turns.
A less steep head tube gives you more control.

The seat tube angle can adjust how the top tube feels by making it more or less steep. Most are this angle, it doesn’t change very often.

2021 Subrosa Trio XL Price
The Trio is a low priced bike. Coming in at $379.99 it is priced very similar to the Kink Curb. I like that the bike is so cheap because it will help more people get into the sport.
2021 Subrosa Trio XL Quality
A beginner level bike will have beginner level quality. This includes single wall rims, low-quality hi-tensile steel, loose ball bearings, and more.
However, this isn’t always a bad thing. If you are a brand new rider, you will want to be able to get a new bmx bike for relatively cheap. By making the bike out of lower quality parts, it becomes really affordable.
Buy if you are learning:
- 180
- 360 tap
- fakie
- smith
- feeble
- x up/x up ride
Don’t buy if you are learning:
- High airs
- tight carves in bowls
- big drops down stairs
- tail whip
- flips
- big 360
- handrail grinds
2021 Subrosa Trio XL Conclusion
The XL version of the Trio is still for beginners, but it’s for taller beginners. The lower quality parts will break once you start crashing and progressing more. If you think that you need something stronger check out some mid-level bikes.
