Learn what size is right for you here.
B: Chain Stay Length: 13.2”
This is a longer chain stay. It gives you a more stable and controlled feel.
C: Head Tube Angle: 75°
Steep head tube angles make the bike "snappy" meaning more responsive to fast turns.
A less steep head tube gives you more control.

The seat tube angle can adjust how the top tube feels by making it more or less steep. Most are this angle, it doesn't change very often.

The Malum is priced the same as the 2021 Devotion. The quality is also very similar. For only $540 you get a bike with full chromoly frame, bars, forks. Subrosa even added aftermarket Rant and Shadow parts!
2021 Subrosa Malum Quality
This is a solid mid-level bike! Heres why:
- Full Chromoly
- Double Wall Rims
- 3 pc. Chromoly Cranks
Buy if you are learning:
- 180
- 360
- barspins
- t-bogs
- crank flips

- tailwhips
Don't buy if you are learning:
- El torro
- Grinds because (no pegs)
2021 Subrosa Malum Conclusion
I really like the Malum. The Matte Raw color is sick. It is designed for a rider who is right at that mid-level and learning tricks like barspins, 360's and even trying tailwhips. The Malum will hold up to these kinds of tricks and will help you progress to the high-level.
