Get the matching look with the carbon Apex fork!
The French revolution in BMX racing started long ago when they travelled to the USA in the early to mid 90s and soo established a reputation for being some of the smoothest, and fastest riders on the planet. This reputation is as valid today with the French taking all 3 medals at the past Olympics.
The French build their tracks deep and steep which demands a frame with geometry that can handle the speed, and be responsive, the 2026 Inspyre V3 frame series fulfils this design criteria, with some of the fastest riders in the world slinging these around on the World Cup circuit.
Variable wall thickness of the hydroformed tubes means that these frames are stiff right where they need to be, while retaining near lightness of a carbon frame, but at a substantial lower price point.
Additional frame stiffness in the Pro sizes is created by using a larger seat tube, and a CNC'd head tube adds a aerodynamic flavour to the overall design of the V3 frame. The youngsters get their own design tweaks with the Junior, Expert and Expert XL frames running thinner tubing allowing these frames to be exceptionally light and not quite as stiff. After all, the young crew aren't quite pumping our 2000 watts, yet!
At the rear end, according to Inspyre
"The SWELL rear dropout system has been completely redesigned for a better user experience. The SWELL V2 dropouts provide a real 25 mm adjustment range. The internal aluminium 7075-T6 plates in the dropouts stay in place even when the wheel is removed, ensuring optimal ease of use during maintenance. The chain tensioning system uses two CNC-machined adjusters mounted on a stainless-steel axle. The disc brake mount follows the postmount standard for a 120 mm disc, but it is possible to use a 140 mm disc with a +20 mm spacer. The dropout comes standard with a 15 mm thru-axle (sold separately). 15mm to 10mm adapters are included with the frame."
Comment from the LUX LAB workshop - "These are bloody nice frames to build up, and the dropout system does what it says on the tin. It works and is easy to install and adjust. Other frame companies should take note" Ev, LUX co-owner and BMX tech guru.
