Kink BMX – 12″ Roaster Bike Rips!

It’s been rad seeing so many younger kinds getting on BMX bikes at earlier and earlier ages. Kink hooked Chad Osburn‘s kid, Ezra, up with one of their 12-inch 2018 Roaster Complete Bikes up to start ripping around on. Here’s a short but sweet video featuring him cruising around the skatepark. Below we have more info on the bike!

“Ezra Osburn Riding the new Kink Coaster 12″ bmx bike!”

“Simply put the Kink Roaster is designed to be a kids first BMX bike. The 12” wheel and frame size make it an easy transition from a balance bike, and means kids will feel completely comfortable on their first pedaling bike. Once again, this bike isn’t simply a bike with 12” wheels or merely a miniaturized BMX bike. It factors into account standard BMX geometry, and applies them to a younger child’s size and needs.

The Gloss Blue Chill colorway really shines while the bike sports some great components throughout. In addition to the miniaturized 5” Kink Puma CC bars and 12” Kink Lance forks, the Roaster features a coaster brake in lieu of a lever based brake system, that could be too difficult for some children to use at a young age. For 2018, the chainstay bridge design has been updated to fit a caliper brake or 990 plate for those looking to add a lever style brake as well.

Note: Designed for children ages 4 and up. Seat height adjustable from 15.5″-18″.” – Kink
