Kink Roaster 12”

Designed from the ground up to be the ideal first BMX bike, the Kink Roaster 12 is the perfect bike for kids making the transition from a balance bike to a pedalled bike.

With the Roast, they have taken the geometry of a traditional BMX bike and engineered it to suit the size and needs of a younger child. Stacked with great components including 5 inch rise Kink Puma handlebars, 12 inch Kink Lance forks, soft Mission padded seat and wide 2.25 inch tyres for extra grip and stability. The colour scheme looks great, with the Translook red frame complementing the all black components.

Kink has equipped this bike with a coaster brake in lieu of a traditional lever braking system as they believe this is an easier method of braking for young children to use. The Roaster is designed for children ages 4 and up.
