Overview

Building on its predecessor the Kink Titan frame, the Titan II frame is truly the next generation of Kink frames. The Titan has been the go-to frame for Kink Pro riders and amateurs alike, and the Titan II is no different with it’s updated geometry and refined design. 

All the features you’d expect like integrated chain tensioners, integrated seat post clamp, removable brake mounts, and dual gussets are all still present along with the updated shorter chainstay and lower bottom bracket. The re-designed investment cast dropouts are even stronger than before, and the updated investment cast seat stay bridge makes for an even stiffer rear triangle

This is a medium chain stay. A medium chain stay will balance control with responsiveness. A medium chain stay is well balanced.

C: Head Tube Angle: 75º – Learn About Head Tube Angles HereOpens in a new tab.

Steep head tube angles make the bike “snappy” meaning more responsive to fast turns.

A less steep head tube gives you more control.

D: Seat Tube Angle: 71°

E: Bottom Bracket Height: 11.6″

F: Stand over height: 8.5″

This is a tall stand over. A tall stand over gives the bike more stability and more control.

Conclusion

Because of the low standover and 13″ chain stay, I say that the Titan II frame is best for park riding. However, it is good for all 3 types of riding. Whether you ride dirt, park, or street this frame is good for you. Just remember that it is built to be responsive so the frame will be best with technical riding.

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.
