Are you a new street rider and you want a perfect bike to help you get to the next level? I looked through kinks whole 2021 line to decide which bike is best for a new street rider. Some of these bikes were really expensive and some were poor quality.. This is what I came up with
What to look for
A new street rider needs a bike that can last for beginner to mid-level tricks. You also will want a bike with a medium length chainstay
and a toptube that isn’t too long. This beginner street bike should be at a fair price and not too expensive. Here’s what I think
2021 Kink Switch
The 2021 Kink Switch comes in right at $499.99 making it a fairly good deal. Once I looked deeper at the quality, I was shocked. There is a lot of quality thrown in this bike to make it borderline high-level quality. It comes with a 20.75″ toptube and a freecoaster, the only bad thing is that pegs are sold separate.
Kink Switch Highlights
Here’s why I picked it as the best Kink bike for new street riders.
| ✅ Mission Mylar Double Wall Rims |
| ✅ Mission Deploy Sealed Freecoaster 14mm |
| ✅ 27lb 10 oz |
| ✅ Responsive 12.75″ Chain-stay |

2021 Kink Switch Overview
An all-new model for 2021, the Kink Switch is truly a standout bike in our lineup. Designed as a brakeless bike, the Switch also includes removable brake mounts and a full brake set for those wanting to ride with brakes. The 2021 Switch doesn’t disappoint in its design or components either, and features 100% 4130 chromoly construction, and sealed bearings throughout the bike. The addition of two included plastic pegs means this bike is grind ready out of the box. The unique Matte Gravity Purple colorway is paired with all black parts, a raw stem, and Kink Chinaski aftermarket seat.
Complementing the Switch model are a ton of great components like the Kink Trident forks featuring a one-piece steerer tube, 9” Kink F900 4-piece bars, Kink Bold HRD stem and Kink Ridge 3-piece tubular chromoly cranks. Combining the removable brake design, two included plastic pegs and the street style Kink Sever 2.4” tires, really solidifies this bike as a true street machine.
