What makes a good BMX frame?
A good BMX frame is made from heat-treated 4130 CrMo - the steel allows thinner walls at the same strength and so saves weight. The dropouts decide the rest: investment-cast or forged ends survive grinds and hard landings far longer than laser-cut or stamped plate. Butted tubes (multi-butted rather than single) put the material exactly where the forces act. High-end frames for BMX park and BMX flatland are made from high-grade titanium, offering the best weight-to-strength ratio of all. More on this in the category FAQ
