This is a longer chain stay. It gives you a more stable and controlled feel. It is longer than most, and will feel really controlled but spins will feel sluggish

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.

The bottom bracket height adjusts how low or high your feet are off the ground. Most completes will be this height.

This is a tall standover. 

A tall stand over allows you to pinch more of the seat for bars and t-bogs.

2021 Fit Series One (SM) Price

The 2021 Series One is priced right at $399. This is really close to the 2021 Kink gap, and is pretty close in quality. However, the 2021 Kink Whip is just a little more and is much better quality.

2021 Fit Series One (SM) Quality

This is an entry-level bike with entry-level parts. I would not recommend this bike if you are an experienced rider.

Buy if you are learning:

  • Bunnyhops
  • pull up bars
  • 180
  • fakie
  • footjam
  • manual

Don’t buy if you are learning:

  • 360
  • drops
  • street tricks
  • tail whips
  • bar spins

2021 Fit Series One (SM) Conclusion

Last year, fit’s line was a little overpriced. However, it seems like they fixed that with the 2021 Series One. It is priced close to similar quality bikes. That makes me happy.

This bike is for a new rider who does not have very much experience, but want’s to try out the sport. The geometry will help a brand new rider feel confident and controlled, but the quality will not hold up to advanced riding.

My parents bought me my first BMX bike in 2011 and it changed my life. This bike has taken me all over the world and introduced me to cool places and cooler people. My goal is to help get 1,000,000 people into BMX so they can experience the joy and freedom that comes from a progression based sport.
