Usually, a “street” bike has 4 pc bars, a freecoaster, pegs, and maybe even a hub guard. In Subrosa’s 2021 line, I only saw one bike with all of these qualifications. It was the 2021 Subrosa Letum. This is actually a really high-quality bike.

Best subrosa Bike for Street: 2021 Subrosa Letum
The 2021 Letum is a street machine.. Here is why:
- Full Chromoly – Will hold up to hefty street riding.
- 4 Pegs – Grind on both sides and do combination grinds.
- Hug guards – Protect your hubs while you grind.
- 4pc bars – There is no benefit to this other than looks.
- Bash guard – Protects your sprocket and lets you do more aggressive grinds, without damaging your bike.
- Responsive 20.75″ top tube – The smaller toptube on a tall rider will make the bike really responsive, think about Garret Reynolds style.
- Freecoaster – You can roll backwards and add a whole bunch of new tricks to the book with a coaster.
