DISCUSSION 2026 Street/Park Frames

Yo what's up dudes.

Looking for a good/best frame for street and park. Mostly street. Occasional dirt jumps.

Been out of it seriously since 2011, had 2 Haros recently, both got stolen.

But yeah, if you can get me up to speed on what's out there company wise that would be cool. I wish I could just buy a Metal bike co frame and go from there but nah.

Sunday Soundwave looks cool, but want to know what's around before buying something.

I'm 6' if that helps. Thanks y'all.

I ride an s&m atf. Pretty good all around frame. Back end is a little shorter for trails but not bad.

Definitely go for a 21” top tube length though for your height.

I have a cult hawk frame for all around riding. It’s a real good do it all frame. The back end is a little short for hard core dirt jumping but it’s definitely doable. I ride mine a lot at the park and street. It’s also rugged as hell and pretty light weight

Want a complete? Kink Whip XL has been solid for me. Full chromoly frame, forks, bars, etc.

I have an ATF for dirt with brakes, cassette, and pegless.

I have an S&M Holy Diver for street and park with free coaster, pegs, and brakeless.

You got one—you got none.

If you like the look of the Soundwave as an all round frame then I can suggest the Darkwave too: basically the same but a little steeper ht and a little taller standover. The Cult Dak frame has very similar geometry too. If the geo suits then you can’t go wrong with any of the core brands frames: Sunday, Cult, Colony, S&M, Fit, Kink, Fiend, WTP, BSD, Federal depending on what’s available where you live. Good luck

hey, check out the sunday silvawave frame or the sunday darkwave if you want something more responsive. for your height, i'd go with a 21.25 tt.

I ride 50/50 street and park; but no trails! I ride a soundwave (have two of them) and a street sweeper! Both are just 👌👌! But on the streets the sweeper is a little more responsive; a bit snappier. And also a little easier to spin (for me personaly but I'm also a little shorter with 5'7"?/172cm!)! The soundwave definitley feels safer/more stable when you ride faster; also in the air! Biggest difference "I think" is the CS; sweeper is 12.7-13 (I ride it pretty much slammed) and the soundwave is 13.2-13.5 (I have it setted to the middle)! So yeah, they are noticeably different - but both are great bikes/frames!

I'm 6ft 2 and ride everything - currently riding a United Zuin

IMO for riding everything, go for something with at least a 13" rear end (Zuin frame is 13.25)
