Description

The disc evolution continues as Stay Strong moves to the V5 version of their ever popular aluminium race frame series. The team behind this iconic brand know their race stuff and hundreds of racers around the world confirm this by taking out race wins and titles every weekend. 

What makes these Stay Strong V5 frames special? From the Mini to the Pro XXXL the same attention to detail is applied in manufacturing these disc brake beauties. Starting with the tested and proven 6061 alloy tubing that is butted in various directions, Stay Strong have applied their years of knowledge and experience to the geometry of these frames. They run a little higher BB than other frames in this segment, pitching the rider a little further over the front of the bike on the gate. Well, that's our take on the specs. 

With new colours and decals for the V5 series of frames, plus the deletion of brake mounts carries over from the V4 frames all adds up to a smooth looking premium aluminium frame

The "youth" frames (Mini up to Expert XL, and Expert Cruiser) all run with a Euro bottom bracket and a 10mm enclosed dropout. The head tube on these sizes are 1-1/8 meaning that you can run either a mini 1 inch fork, or beef it up with a 1-1/8th fork. 

Trust a brand that's been winning for years with real racing pedigree. 

Features

  • Butted 6061 aluminium race frame. Tubing butted in various directions keeps the Expert XL at 1257g, light enough to sprint but built for full race abuse.
  • 20.25" top tube, 14.25" chainstay. The longer rear end settles the bike down at speed for taller Expert riders who have outgrown a standard Expert frame.
  • Higher bottom bracket than most. The 10.6" bottom bracket height pitches the rider further over the front of the bike on the gate and adds pedal clearance.
  • Disc only, post mount. Post mount for a 120mm rotor, with the rim brake mounts deleted so the frame stays clean and simple to build.
  • Euro BB, 10mm slotted dropouts. Common youth race parts fit without adapters, and the slotted dropouts make chain tension and wheel alignment easy to dial.

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 120cm16.25"
Mini (20" wheels)110 to 140cm17 to 18"
Junior120 to 150cm18.25 to 18.75"
Expert130 to 170cm19.5 to 19.75"
Expert XL145 to 170cm20 to 20.75"
Pro150 to 175cm20.25 to 20.75"
Pro XL165 to 180cm21 to 21.25"
Pro XXL170 to 185cm and up21.5 to 21.85"
Pro XXXL175cm and up22"
Pro XXXXL180cm and up22.5"
Cruiser (24" wheels)175cm and up21.5" and up

Heights overlap between classes on purpose. Where you land in two, a growing rider is usually better on the larger, and a rider who wants the bike to turn faster on the smaller. 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.

  • Between two sizes and still growing? Take the larger size.
  • Racing gates and wanting the bike to turn faster? Take the smaller size.
  • Top tube is the number that actually changes the fit, so compare it against the bike they ride now.
