Description

Built for cruising, the Kink Drifter 26" covers all the times a traditional 20" BMX is not so practical: riding to school or work, heading out with your kids, or ripping around the local skatepark.

It is built with all standard BMX components, so it is low maintenance and can be upgraded with any standard BMX parts, even pegs and a gyro. Full chromoly frame and fork, a 22.25" top tube and 16" chainstays, finished in Carbide Gray.

Features
  • Big 26" wheels, BMX feel. Made for the rides where a 20" BMX is not practical: to school, to work, or out with the family.
  • All standard BMX components. Low maintenance and easy to upgrade with any standard BMX parts, right down to pegs and a gyro.
  • Full 4130 chromoly frame and fork. Chromoly through the frame, fork and 7" bars, so skids, wheelies and skatepark laps are all fair game.
  • Long, settled geometry. A 22.25" top tube, 16" chainstays and a 71° head angle give a comfortable, stable cruise.
  • 175mm 3-piece chromoly cranks. Kink Ridge tubular cranks in a sealed mid bottom bracket, turning a Mission Breach 25T sprocket.

Assembly information

Your bike ships mostly assembled in the box. Finishing it takes most people 10 to 20 minutes with basic tools, and the video above walks through every step.

  • Fit the handlebars and line them up with the front wheel
  • Fit the front wheel, pedals and seat post
  • Check the brakes and tyre pressure before the first ride

Tools: Allen key set and a 15mm, 17mm or 19mm spanner for the pedals and axle nuts (bikes can vary between these three sizes). A socket is needed if installing pegs.

Rather have it done? Ask us about extra assembly before you order, or any local bike shop can finish the build for a small fee.

26 inch BMX sizing

A 26 inch is the largest BMX wheel, for riders about 160cm and up, on a 22 to 23 inch top tube. It is a ride feel rather than a size step: more roll and stability, still BMX geometry.

Rider heightWheel sizeTop tube
60 to 91cm12"12 to 12.5"
81 to 106cm14"14 to 14.5"
96 to 122cm16"16 to 16.5"
122 to 147cm18"18 to 18.5"
147 to 157cm20"19.75 to 20.25"
157 to 168cm20"20 to 20.5"
168 to 175cm20"20.25 to 20.75"
175 to 183cm20"20.5 to 21"
183 to 190cm and up20"20.75 to 21.5"
160cm and up22"21 to 22.25"
160cm and up24"21.75 to 22"
160cm and up26"22 to 23"

Sizes overlap on purpose, so personal preference comes into it. A big wheel rides longer than its top tube number suggests, so do not compare it straight against a 20 inch.

How to measure

Stand against a wall in the shoes you ride in, heels flat, and mark the top of your head. Measure from the floor to the mark.

  • Choose a big wheel for the ride feel, not because you are tall. Plenty of tall riders stay on 20 inch.
  • Coming off a 20 inch? Expect it to feel longer and more stable, and slower to spin.
