Kink Carve 16 - Patina Green

The Kink Carve 16” is the younger sibling of Kink's larger freestyle models, ensuring that younger, shorter riders can find a perfect fitting bike that can still hold up to real BMX riding. Properly proportioned geometry and components create a modern, yet comfortable ride, suited for the rider who isn't ready for the bump up to an 18” bike yet. Featuring a responsive 100% Hi-Ten steel frame paired with a premium Kink Stryker fork utilizing a 4130 Chromoly steerer tube, this scaled-down setup is stacked with real BMX parts including a short reach 40mm Mission topload stem, rock-solid 3-piece tubular chromoly cranks, and a sealed integrated headset.
