The Impact’s seat is stiff and uncomfortable.

The seat angle is not adjustable and the seat height has minimal adjustment. This created an unpleasant ride for some users.

The pedal mounts are only 1/2”. Testers would have preferred 9/16” pedal mounts, as they are more common.

The warranty of the bike is void if it is not assembled by a professional.

According to multiple reviewers, the tires wear quickly on the Impact.

The rear axle is wider in diameter than most peg attachments. It is difficult for riders to find pegs to fit the bike.

The Framed Impact is an attractive BMX bike. Testers agree that the 20" model is best for beginner BMXers and teens. The bike has a solid steel frame that allows one to practice and master tricks without damaging the bike. Users complained the seat is stiff and lacks adequate adjustment. The pedal mounts and rear axle are not standard in size and make swapping pedals and adding pegs difficult. The bike has a warranty but it is void without professional assembly.
