2021 Subrosa Novus (Trey Jones) Signature Conclusion

I’m a little bummed that this $1000 bike does not come with pegs. Like how hard is it to just include 2 pegs. However, I was really impressed to see the part list. almost all of the parts are AFTERMARKET and a signature version of Trey’s parts. This bike is like going to sourceOpens in a new tab. and adding separate parts together in order to make your own custom bike.

It is for a rider who is doing some pretty high level tricks. The rider is looking for a bike that will LAST and help them progress more. Especially if you love tech riding.
