A: Top Tube Length: 20.5" - Learn what size is right for you here.
This is a medium toptube.
Perfect for riders that are between 5'6" to 5'8"
B: Chain Stay Length: 12.75” - Learn About Chain Stays Here
This is a medium chain stay designed to balance tech and flow riding.
C: Head Tube Angle: 75° - Learn About Head Tube Angles Here
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: 11.75"
F: Stand over height: 8.5"
This is a medium standover.
A tall standover gives you more stability and will make bars, and t-bogs easier.
It is good that the type O only costs $430. But I still think that it is pretty overpriced.
Here's what is low quality about the bike:
For a lot of kids and parents, $500 is a reasonable price for a bmx bike. A study shows that parents are spending around $422 per child for Christmas. So a bike around this range will help get kids into bmx.
You can read about the difference in chromoly and hi-tensile here. Basically, hi-tensile steel will bend over time. That's why I recommend full chromoly, all of the time.
Since the quality to price ratio is so bad, I do not recommend this bike. I would recommend going up $100 and getting the Fiend B+ or looking for a similarly priced bike with better quality.
This bike is great for riders between 5' 5" to 5'9"
It will last beginners around a year.
It really isn't that good of a bike. I'd look for something else..
The Fiend Type O weighs about 24.8 lbs
