Frame Geometry

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.

D: Seat Tube Angle: 71°

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.

E: Bottom Bracket Height: 11.6"

The bottom bracket height adjusts how low or high your feet are off the ground. Most completes will be this height.

F: Stand over height: 8.5"

This is a tall standover.

A tall stand over allows you to pinch more of the seat for bars and t-bogs.

2021 Subrosa Trio L Price

The Trio is a low priced bike. Coming in at $379.99 it is priced very similar to the Kink Curb. I like that the bike is so cheap because it will help more people get into the sport.

2021 Subrosa Trio L Quality

A beginner level bike will have beginner level quality. This includes single wall rims, low-quality hi-tensile steel, loose ball bearings, and more.

However, this isn't always a bad thing. If you are a brand new rider, you will want to be able to get a new bmx bike for relatively cheap. By making the bike out of lower quality parts, it becomes really affordable.

Buy if you are learning:

  • 180
  • 360 tap
  • fakie
  • smith
  • feeble
  • x up/x up ride

Don't buy if you are learning:

  • High airs
  • tight carves in bowls
  • big drops down stairs
  • tail whip
  • flips
  • big 360
  • handrail grinds

2021 Subrosa Trio L Conclusion

The L version of the Trio is still for beginners, but it's for taller beginners. It has a 20.75" top tube. The lower quality parts will break once you start crashing and progressing more. If you think that you need something stronger check out some mid-level bikes.
