Hello everyone, I have narrowed my choice to those 3 bikes. I will be cruising mostly but I need a tank because I know I will put it through some paces eventually… Stroller ramps (up and down), stairs, pump track, etc. Nothing really risky but I want a really tank solid BMX so I don't have to worry when I want to jump off nothing will crap out on me.
- Moongoose Legion = is definitely the cheapest. It costs half of what Kink Whip 2023 and from the spec it has open fron bearings. That is its only flaw what I have gathered from the specs
- .Kink Whip 2023 = sealed bearings throughout but it costs 2x more than Moongoose. I like to think it is a better bike and made better but… is it really…?
- Fly Orion BMX Bike = slightly more expensive than Kink Whip 2023 but I don't see anything better from the specs
- Wethepeople Versus 2023 = costs 1/3 more than Kink Whip 2023 and has nothing more too offer except for a brand name. I like to think it is made the best out of all those 3.
I am 67kg @ 167cm so… not like any of those bikes will have to do the heavy lifting but still… I want a quality bike. The best bang for buck in 2024.
If you have anything that comes to your mind, please share whatever experience, thoughts, etc. you have. Anything may sway me (and probably others) one way or other.

The most Expensive
I am 90% sure Kink Whip 2023 will be the best option for me personally as I won't even use pegs from Wethepeople Versus.
I have read and will link this as it may help others as well:

I am really interested in your opinion, experience, thoughts, etc. All those bikes are super similar so your input may change a lot/

If just wanting a frame to build, Mongoose. Upgrade as you go. 21″tt is better overall IMO even for shorter people because you can run the seat down. THat being said I have a L100 with Odyssey parts, and another but L500 with Eclat SALTPLUS.
