While you're on your bike buying journey, you're going to encounter a ton of different bikes
0:03
and some of those bikes might be the We The People Reason and the Kink Switch. And if you're looking at both of these bikes, it's hard to make a decision because of how similar they are
0:12
So in this video, we're going to break down the We The People Reason and the Kink Switch, and ultimately, I just want to help you understand which bike is better
0:18
Is it going to be the Kink Switch, or is it going to be the We The People Reason? Stay till the end to find out
0:23
So both of these bikes are a 20.75-inch top tube that's going to be designed for riders
0:28
who are between 5'6 and 5'9. They have very similar geometries. The Wii The People Reason has a slightly steeper head tube angle than the Kink Switch
0:36
but ultimately, both of these bikes are designed for a little bit more of a responsive feel
0:41
The Kink Switch is quite a bit heavier than the Wii The People Reason by almost a pound
0:46
and that could be a lot, but you can make different upgrades to the Kink Switch
0:50
to get it closer to the Wii The People Reason weight, especially with the money that you'd save
0:55
The We The People Reason costs about $720 while the Kink Switch is only $600
1:00
So the Reason is about $120 more expensive, and if you bought the Kink Switch with that
1:04
$120 that you're saving, you could add better tires that would cut the weight down significantly
1:09
When we look at these bikes it important to understand the quality and the longevity of them Both bikes have a full chromoly frame full chromoly forks and full chromoly handlebars but the big difference here is that the kink switch has double wall rims
1:22
front and rear while the we the people reason has a double wall rim in the back and a single wall
1:27
rim in the front having a single wall rim in the front really isn't the end of the world since it
1:32
doesn't take a whole bunch of impact but if you're looking at a bike with two double wall rims versus
1:36
one double wall rim i think it's better to choose the bike with two double wall rims so you don't
1:41
have to worry about that single wall rim braking and needing to replace it so for that reason i
1:46
would say the kink switch is a better option it's 120 cheaper and by the book quality it's going to
1:52
be a better quality bike the way the people reason comes equipped with things like a sprocket with a
1:56
bash guard and some extra hub guards than the kink switch but i just don't think that those things
2:01
are worth the extra money like it is a very premium bike and it's a very nice bike and i don't think
2:06
it's overpriced for that price point but i think that if you're considering the two the kink switch
2:11
is a better option because you're saving more money and you can do more with that money that
2:15
you're saving this is a question that somebody asked me in the bmx nerd network because he's
2:19
looking at bikes and he was curious which one's better and why and so i made this video to help
2:23
