This is a short toptube.

B: Chain Stay Length: 12.75” - Learn About Chain Stays Here
This is a medium chain-stay designed to give more control on the bike.
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.

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.
2020 Fiend Type O- Price
Read which 2020 Fiend is the most expensive here
The 2020 Type O- is pretty expensive for the price. I wish it was closer to $300, but instead, it is almost $400 dollars. They did include a tiny bit of chromoly on the frame, but I don't think that it makes the bike worth $400.
2020 Fiend Type O- Quality
Read which 2020 Fiend is most popular here
Nothing really stands out on the Type O-. It's still unsealed, for the most part, it only has a tiny amount of chromoly and it's a little heavy. Remember this is a beginner bike, so it is supposed to be low quality.
Highlights
Low Price
Fiends type o- is under $400. To me that's a good price for a beginner bike. Parents are more likely to buy a cheap bike for their kids. And this is really good if we want to grow bmx.
Lowlights
Low Quality
Because the Type O- is cheap, it is going to be cheap quality. I mentioned this before, but the bike isn't very strong. So it should only be used by a new rider.
Buy if you are learning:
- Hops
- pull up Barspin
- 180
- Feeble
- Smith
- x-up ride
Don't buy if you are learning:
- Tailwhip
- 540
- big drops
- flips
- big 360s
2020 Fiend Type O- Conclusion 🤩
You should be a really new rider in bmx. The type O- is a good first bike for people that want to test bmx. I recommend buying a cheap low-quality bike for your first purchase. That way you don't waste a lot of money for something that you don't really want to do.
