Kink

The 2021 Launch continues the legacy of a truly remarkable bike. This bike is one of the best value-priced models on the market, hands-down, year-after-year. The Launch pairs its great color selection with even better components. It's equipped with both a sealed integrated headset and sealed Mid bottom bracket which drastically improve performance and virtually eliminate need for maintenance of these components. Combined with a parts package that includes Kink Stryker forks, Kink T875 8.75-inch bars, and Mission Triumph 3pc tubular Chromoly cranks, this bike is a rookie's dream.

Kink bottom bracket kits include precision sealed bearings, machined dust cover cones, and all the spacers needed for perfect crank and chain alignment. The center tube spacer is a standard 51mm width so no additional internal spacers are needed, and on the off chance your frame requires a 48mm center spacer, it can be cut down using the cut guide machined into the spacer. TECH SPECS - Type: Mid - Material: 6061-T6 Aluminum - Bearings: Precision Sealed - Weight: 5.0oz(22mm)

The Kink Pillar cranks use a unique, one-piece forged backplate that tie together the pedal and spindle bosses, while acting as an extremely stiff backbone to each crank arm. This design eliminates several weak points found in traditional tubular cranks and increases the overall strength without adding weight. The Pillar cranks also feature a two-piece, hydraulically pressed spindle-to-arm design, and a heat-treated hollow chromoly spindle. TECH SPECS - Length: 170mm and 175mm - Spindle Size: 22mm Hollow - Spindle Type: 48-Spline - Drive Side: RHD/LHD Compatible - Drive Type: Regular and Micro Drive Sprocket Bolt Bosses - Tubing: 100% 4130 Chromoly Steel - Heat Treatment: TruTherm Post-weld Heat Treated - Particulars: Unique One Piece Forged Backplate - Weight: 28.5oz (175mm)

Balancing design, materials, and manufacturing techniques allow the Kink Bold HRD to truly be a solid and affordable stem. The die-cast aluminum body is paired with a forged 6061-T6 aluminum cap, providing additional strength. A counterbore in the stem body allows the fork cap bolt to thread down flush for a clean look. The classic 50mm reach comes with a comfortable 32mm rise and a traditional 6-bolt system. Chamfered edges and radiused corners give the stem a clean look and knee-friendly design. TECH SPECS - Reach: 50mm - Rise: 32mm - Stack Height: 30mm - Material: Aluminum Body and Forged Aluminum Cap - Bolts: Solid w/ 6mm Allen Hex - Weight: 10.7oz

Kink's One Piece Cable system incorporates all the great features found in the DX linear cable and creates a simpler brake cable system requiring minimal setup. The three preset straddle cable lengths fit with all modern frames, and the remaining straddle cable length can easily be trimmed off. This single unit cable system greatly simplifies brake installation, reduces maintenance, and increases braking stiffness. Note: The One Piece Cable system requires a slotted cable guide and cable stop and works best with modern frames using a 245mm cable stop-to-mount distance. Tech Specs - Housing: Coated linear strand - Wire: 1.5mm Pre-stretched slick wire - Length: 50" - Lug: Two-piece bind-free brass - Fits: Frames with 245mm cable stop distance - Weight: 3.0oz

The Kink Sever tires feature a simple, yet stylish and effective low profile tread pattern that rolls fast while providing a ton of grip. The entire outer tread surface is micro-knurled which adds additional traction, fresh out of the box. The 2.4? tire width and resilient rubber compound help soften hard landings for both the rider and the rims. Increased thickness in the sidewall areas helps to prevent flats and improves stability even when running lower tire pressures. - Pressure: 60psi - Bead: Wire - Weight: 32.5oz

The Kink Universal Driver guard is designed to fit most modern freecoaster and cassette hubs using either an 8T or 9T driver. The guard is made from heat-treated chromoly steel, giving it a ton of strength and long lifespan. The slim chromoly design means it can slide between your existing hub hardware and dropout, which allows for easy installation with only a wrench or socket to loosen and tighten axle nuts
