Description

The Gap XL is just that, an extra-large 21” top tube version of the tried-and-true Kink Gap Bike. Featuring modern geometry, the frame, fork, and bars also add some 4130 Chromoly into the mix. The Gap XL is available in two clean colourways, Gloss Desert Sand and Matte Aurora Black. Componentry found on the Gap XL take things up a notch and are not to be glossed over.

Making these complete bikes really look the part, the taller 9.25” Kink T925 bars, Kink Stryker forks, Kink Bold HRD stem, sealed Mission Engage Cassette hub, and Kink Ride 3-piece tubular Chromoly cranks help it to feel and perform the part. The addition of a stealth seat and seat post are not to be overlooked either and add both adjustability and modern compatibility. Modern frame geometry brings a lower bottom bracket and raised standover height to the Gap XL for the perfect stable ride.



Features

  • Extra large 21" top tube. The tried and true Kink Gap stretched out for taller riders, in Gloss Desert Sand or Matte Aurora Black.

  • Modern geometry, stable ride. A lower bottom bracket and a raised standover height make the Gap XL feel settled underneath you.
  • Sealed Mission Engage cassette hub. A 9T driver on a 14mm axle, paired with a Mission Breach 25T sprocket and Kink Ridge 3-piece tubular chromoly cranks.

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.

20 inch BMX sizing

A 20 inch bike is the standard adult BMX and suits riders from about 147cm up. At this wheel size the top tube is what changes the fit, so pick that by height.

Sizes overlap on purpose, so personal preference comes into it. If you land in two bands, riding style breaks the tie: longer for flow, trails and transitions, shorter for technical street and park.

How to measure

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

Top tube is measured from the centre of the seat tube to the centre of the head tube, so it is not the same as the length of the tube you can see.

  • A 20 inch bike is the standard adult BMX and most riders end up there, so do not size a tall child down to a smaller wheel.
  • 22, 24 and 26 inch bikes are adult bikes with a bigger wheel, not bigger frames for taller riders.
  • Size up for stability through trails and transitions. Size down if you want the bike quick and twitchy for spins and grinds.
  • Top tube is fixed, but stem length, fork offset and bar position all shift how roomy the bike feels once you are on it.
