Hey what's up guys today I'm going to be talking about the top three BMX bikes that come in a 20.5
0:05
inch top tube size. The 20.5 inch top tube size is best for those riders who are between 5 foot 6
0:11
and 5 foot 9. Although if you're a little bit smaller a little bit taller you can make the 20.5
0:17
work it's going to feel best for you guys who are between 5 foot 6 and 5 foot 9. These bikes are
0:23
arranged by quality and to be honest these bikes might not be for everybody so request a free bike
0:28
recommendation by clicking the link up here or in the description. I'm gonna find three bikes that
0:33
are perfect for you and send them to you because like I said these bikes might not be right for you
0:37
So bike number three is the Kink Whip. Not the Kink Whip XL because the XL version has a 21-inch
0:43
top tube. The Kink Whip scores a 6.9 in quality and it's a pretty good value BMX bike. Although
0:50
in 2023 the prices went up from $500 to $550. The coolest thing about this bike is the quality
0:57
Like I said, it has a 6.9 quality score and this essentially means that the frame, forks, and
1:02
handlebars are all made from chromoly. The rims are double wall mission mylar rims and it has a
1:08
handful, a very small handful of aftermarket parts meaning that this bike can withstand a good amount
1:13
of riding and a good amount of abuse. I recommend this bike for most mid-level riders who need a bike
1:19
with a 20.5 inch top tube. The closest bike to this in terms of quality would be something like
1:24
like the Kink Gap, which is almost half of the quality score for a very similar price. So for a
1:29
20.5 inch BMX bike, the Kink Whip is one of the best options, especially for the low price of $550
1:36
Some of the downfalls include the heavy Kink Sever tires. These tires and a combination of
1:41
the 8-spline full Kermali cranks make the bike weigh 27.7 pounds. It's a very heavy BMX bike
1:47
and weight is very important to a lot of new riders Having a lighter bike is going to help you maneuver the bike and master certain tricks So getting this 27 pounds down closer to 25 pounds is going to be pretty crucial
2:00
And you can do this by getting rid of those heavy tires and replacing them with something lighter
2:04
Another downfall is the fact that it only comes in a cassette. It doesn't have a free coaster
2:08
option. So if you like free coaster stuff and free coaster tricks, the kink whip is not going
2:13
to work for you. It doesn't come with any pegs or any hub guards, but for a 20.5 inch BMX bike
2:18
with full chromoly and double wall rims, you can't ask for much more
2:22
I did a really in-depth review on the Kink Whip. That's linked down below in the description
2:27
but let's move on to bike number two. Bike number two is gonna be the We The People Crisis
2:32
The price is about $200 more than the Kink Whip, and the quality is 0.1 better
2:38
It's honestly not much better, and it's quite a bit more expensive
2:42
but technically, since the quality is higher than the Whip, this bike is in spot number two
2:46
Now when I say the quality is not much better, I'm really talking about the main components
2:51
So the frame, forks, and handlebars on the Crysis are full 4130 chromoly
2:57
The rims are also double wall. But where the Crysis stands out from the whip
3:01
is all of the aftermarket parts that it has attached to it. This bike has salt summit double wall rims
3:07
which are quite a bit better than the Mission Mylar rims. It has 9.7 inch tall handlebars
3:12
that are also full chromoly. It has solid We The People overbite tires
3:16
and a 510 We The People supply chain. Oh, and it also comes with two pegs and two hub guards
3:21
Some of the downfalls of the Crysis are the unsealed pedals, which is really weird on a $750 bike
3:28
The price is also another thing that rubs me the wrong way on the Crysis
3:32
I just think this bike is pretty expensive and you're getting a little bit better quality than the Whip
3:37
but not much for a huge price increase. It does weigh 26.3 pounds
3:42
and if that one and a half pound weight savings is worth it to you then this bike is totally worth the extra money This bike has a 20 inch and a 21 inch top tube option Obviously here we talking about the 20 inch version
3:55
This bike's pretty cool, but it's nothing compared to bike number one on the list
4:00
which is the We The People Envy. The We The People Envy is a crazy bike
4:04
and it's one of the best quality BMX bikes that you can get right next to the Sunday Darkwave
4:09
and the Sunday Soundwave. The We The People Envy has a 20.5 inch option
4:13
and a 21 inch top tube option. Essentially this bike is fully aftermarket
4:17
meaning if you went to a website, you went to Danskomp and you searched
4:22
WeThePeopleNV frame, you can get WeThePeopleNV bars, you can get the Storm XLT forks
4:28
you can buy everything that's on this bike aftermarket and build it together
4:33
And I promise you, if you build this bike aftermarket, it's gonna cost a lot more than the WeThePeopleNV does
4:38
Since the list of pros for this bike is going to be so long, Let's talk about the cons first
4:44
Con number one, the price. That's it. That's the only con with this bike
4:49
I can't express to you guys how good the quality is. Now, the price is $1,300
4:55
It's double the price of the Crysis. It's almost three times the price of the whip
4:59
but the quality is insane. If you're really serious about riding bikes
5:02
you want a bike that's gonna last, you want a bike that can hold up to any kind of riding
5:06
the We the People Envy is the bike for you. And it's in a 20.5 inch top tube
5:11
Some of the pros include the 24 pounds that this bike weighs, way lighter than the whip, way lighter than the Crysis
5:17
It comes with four nylon hub guards. The frame, forks, and handlebars are chromoly
5:22
but they're aftermarket chromoly, which is 100 times better than normal chromoly
5:26
It scores a 9.23 in park, meaning it's a very responsive bike
5:31
that's gonna be best for riding skate parks. So those are gonna be the best quality
5:35
20.5 inch top tube BMX bikes. What if you want a good quality bike but you don have the budget to spend on these When I was making this list I was a little disappointed because there wasn very many high quality options I mean the Envy is the best quality option and the Crysis and the Whip are very similar together
5:51
And I was like, well this is weird. A good amount of high quality BMX bikes only come in a 20.75 inch
5:57
top tube or a 21 inch top tube. Sadly for the smaller riders who need a 20.5, a 20.25, or even
6:05
a 20.00, good quality options are very limited. The reason for this is that most smaller riders
6:11
are lightweight and they don't require the same amount of strength on a bike that someone who's
6:16
heavier and taller would. So you're going to hear a lot of people talk about quality and get the best
6:21
quality bike and get the best quality bike, you know. And to be honest, if you don't weigh very
6:25
much, if you weigh 150 pounds or less, you don't need a super high quality bike. You'll be fine
6:31
with tri-mole and some chrome moly and maybe a double wall rim in the back if you're really heavy
6:36
or you're really serious about riding that's when you're going to start to consider very high quality
6:41
bikes and i take all of that into consideration on the free bike recommendation so if you want me to
6:46
help you find the bike make sure you do that it takes me about 24 hours to get back to you so
6:51
please be patient but request that so that i can help you find the bike one of these bikes might
6:55
be on there one of these bikes might not i want to know in the comments if you agree with this list
7:00
or you disagree and why thank you guys so much for watching we'll see you in the next video
