Frame Geometry
Designed for riders who are 5’3″ to 6′
Learn what size is right for you here.
Riding a frame on the “bigger” end will make the bike feel more controlled and flowy.
Riding a frame on the “smaller” end will make the bike feel more snappy and responsive.
This is a short chain stay.
A short chain stay will make the bike feel quick and responsive. It will make spins easier, and manuals harder to control.
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 short standover.
A short stand over makes whips easier to kick and get around, but make bars harder since the seat is low and hard to pinch.
Price
For $419 you get a bike with some chromoly, 4 pegs, qand a sealed cassette. It isn’t the best quality. However, the price is good for what you are getting
Quality
This is a beginner bike with entry-level parts. I would not recommend this bike if you are an experienced rider.
Here’s why it is lower quality:
- Tri-moly frame – What is trimoly?
- Single wall rims – Why does this matter?
- Unsealed front wheel
Buy if you are learning:
- Feeble
- hops
- 180
- pull up barspins
- x-up rides
- smith
- double pegs
Don’t buy if you are learning:
- 360
- big drops
- tail whips
- bar spins
- grinding hand rails
Conclusion
The 2021 Fit STR (MD) is designed for a new rider who wants to focus on street riding. This person needs pegs to do feebles, smiths and double pegs. It has a responsive geometry that will make the bike easy to control. For $419, it is a good priced bike.
