4.3/10 (Expert Score)
Product is rated as #15 in category Complete Bikes
after riding and testing the kink gap free coaster, I fell in love with the free coaster. It does have a little bit of slack that takes a while to get used to but overall this bike felt really good. Free coasters are not for everybody so be sure that that's what you want before you purchase this bike. The tires were really heavy and didn't grip very good at the skate park, but the rest of the bike felt good. I was a little bit worried about how the hi-tensile steel back end of the frame would hold up when I was doing half cabs, but it was fine.

The Kink Gap fc is a mid-quality BMX bike that weighs 27.2 pounds and costs $449. It is not full 4130 chromoly but it does have some chromoly in the components. I appreciate the fact that this bike is under $500 with a freecoaster hub.

Is the Kink Gap fc high quality?

No, the Kink Gap free coaster is not technically high-quality. It’s made from a blend of weak hi-tensile steel, and a little bit of chromoly. the lower quality parts on this bike, bring down the overall quality score. It’s more of a beginner to mid-level quality bike.

This bike’s frame is made with a combination of chromoly and high tensile steel, which isn’t the best for durability. The front end of the bike is more durable than the back end, which is made of weaker materials.

The quality of the materials used means it might not hold up to more aggressive riding or heavier riders as well as a full chromoly bike would.

How does the Kink Gap fc look?

The Kink Gap Free Coaster has a sick, chrome-plated look that’s pretty flashy. It feels solid and has a style that stands out in the crowd.

Well, it’s a cool, looking color way, it’s not for everybody and I understand why they couldn’t make multiple color options but I think it would’ve been better if they did.

Is the Kink Gap fc overpriced?

No, I don’t think the kink gap free coaster is overpriced. Currently it’s $449 which is a fair price for a bike like this with a free coaster. Keep in mind, the free coaster is the big selling point of this bike, and if it didn’t have a free coaster, I would say that this is overpriced. You will need to spend over $500 to find a decent BMX bike with a free coaster.

What are the best features of the Kink Gap Freecoaster?

The best features of the Kink Gap Free Coaster include its upgradeability, the chrome finish, and the fact that it comes with a free coaster.

What makes it stand out is its potential for customization and the unique chrome look, which is pretty cool for those who like their bikes to shine.

Honest thoughts

I definitely appreciate the fact that this bike is under $500 and it comes with a free coaster. The next bike in king lineup that has a free coaster is the king switch and it cost about $600. If it wasn’t for the free coaster however, I wouldn’t be as hyped on this bike. It doesn’t have great quality and if you’re looking at a bike in just a value perspective, it would be better to spend a little bit more money and buy the kink whip instead of the kink gap. But the kink whip does not have a free coaster and so that’s why I’m stressing. If you really want a free coaster this is the cheapest free coaster BMX bike you can buy.

If you don’t care a whole lot about the coaster, or you really need something higher-quality, you’re gonna need to spend a little bit more money. If you have the Kink Gap Free Coaster, leave a review at the bottom of this page. I pick a new reviewer every month and send them $20.
