Description

The Evol XL is a solid entry level machine with everything you need to start making serious progression with your riding. It boasts a 21" chromoly top tube, a sealed integrated headset and a mid sized bottom bracket, which are the details that count once you start riding it hard.

Little touches make it something different: big logo 2.30" Radio Rookie tyres, an oil slick sprocket, 25-9 gearing and a Radio Century combo seat. Add 165mm 3-piece chromoly cranks and a semi-sealed alloy cassette rear hub and it is ready to ride as it comes.

Features

  • 21" chromoly top tube. The XL frame gives a taller rider more room, with chromoly used where the frame works hardest.
  • Sealed headset and mid bottom bracket. Sealed bearings in both spots, so the two places that collect the most grit stay smooth for longer.
  • 25-9 gearing on a cassette hub. A 25T sprocket into a semi-sealed 9T aluminium cassette rear hub, driven by 165mm 3-piece chromoly cranks.
  • Big logo 2.30" Radio Rookie tyres. Wide rubber gives grip and comfort at the park or on the street, and the logo makes the bike stand out.
  • Ready for a gyro. The frame has holes for removable gyro tabs, and the rear U-brake and lever are both aluminium.

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.

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. 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.
