2020 Fit STR Price
Fit made the STR for right at $400. Is it a good price? Sure. Less than $500 is always good. Usually Kink or Stolen make similar quality bikes for a little less then $400, but Fit is a good name to ride.
2020 Fit STR Quality
I’m a little disappointed with the quality here. Single wall rims are just asking for trouble.
Highlights
Cool Colors and TT options 🤪
The colors on this bike are pretty cool. I love the mint. 😍 I also like the fact that you can choose between a 20.5 and a 20.75 inch top tube.
Lowlights
Not worth the price
The single wall rims really put me off. I think this bike should be closer to $330-$350. It just wont last like it should.
Buy if you are learning:
- Bunny hops
- x-up
- feeble
- double pegs
- pull up barspins
Don’t buy if you are learning:
- 180 off drops
- 360
- tail-whips
- big stair-sets
- feeble to spin
Conclusion 🤩
If you absolutely have to buy this bike, you can. But only do it if you are a real beginner and don’t plan on going hard. You will thrash it. Get something a little better if you want it to last. 🙁
