Description

The Radio Helium frame has been out on track now for several years, with each year seeing the brand steadily improving this frame. For 2027 the colours and graphics have definitely taken on a clean look, with solid colourways and bold Radio decals on the down tube.

Technically, the frame is manufactured from industry trusted hydroformed 6061 alloy tubing, which produces a super lightweight race frame that is strong enough to take on the big tracks and high speeds they produce. Even the youngest racers need a frame that can take on 5m hill and everything that follows on from it.

The Radio Helium frame has proved over the past 5 races seasons that they can not only produce race wins, they are built to a standard where you can trust it with touches like a forged (read strong) dropout that can integrate Radio's disc mount. Or if you're running V-brakes, then Radio has you covered here as well. You have the choice.

Features

  • Hydroformed 6061 alloy tubing. A super light race frame that is still strong enough for big tracks and the speeds they produce.
  • Forged dropouts you can trust. Built strong, and they integrate Radio's disc mount if that is the way you want to stop.
  • Disc or V-brake, your choice. Radio covers both, so you can build the frame around the brakes your rider is already used to.
  • 1360g on the scales. Light enough for a young racer to handle a 5m hill and everything that follows on from it.
  • Clean 2027 colours and graphics. Solid colourways with bold Radio decals on the down tube.

Specifications

BMX race bike sizing

Race frames are sized by class, and the class you ride is set by rider height rather than age.

SizeRider heightTop tube
Micro (18" wheels)Under 110cm16.25"
Mini (20" wheels)110 to 125cm17 to 18"
Junior120 to 140cm18.25 to 18.75"
Expert135 to 155cm19.5 to 19.75"
Expert XL150 to 165cm20 to 20.75"
Pro160 to 170cm20.25 to 20.75"
Pro XL165 to 175cm21 to 21.25"
Pro XXL170 to 185cm and up21.5 to 21.85"
Pro XXXL175 to 185cm and up22"
Pro XXXXL185cm and up22.5"
Cruiser (24" wheels)175cm and up21.5" and up

Heights overlap between bike sizes on purpose. If you fall in two size categories, a growing rider new to racing is usually better suited to the larger bike, a experienced rider who wants the bike to more responsive should err on the smaller size. Some brands label the Pro size Pro L, with the same fit.

How to measure

Stand your rider against a wall in the shoes they ride in, heels flat, and mark the top of their head. Measure from the floor to the mark. Just don't guess their height either, you know how fast they can grow!

Here are some tips

  • Between two sizes and still growing? Take the larger size, but make sure you check the top tube length of the bike. The length of top tube for a given size (Expert XL as an example) can vary up to a half inch or more across brands. Most Expert XL frames are 20", but we've seen them as long as 20.7"
  • Experienced racer and wanting the bike to be more responsive? Take the smaller size. You want the bike to be "under you", not a stretch to the bars and cranks.
  • Top tube is the number that actually changes the fit, so compare it against the bike they ride now.

Still not sure? We're the experts and size bikes for riders every day of the week. Our team has decades of experience between them and will help you decide which bike is the right fit based on rider height and racing experience.
