BMX Racing Frames
Phoenix’s new Talon frames are carefully handmade from aerospace grade 6061-T6 Aluminium alloy in Phoenix’s own facilities in Beaverton, Oregon USA to very precise tolerances. Compression forming technology, similar to that used by many high-end mountain bike brands was employed to give the ultimate in optimized strength-to-weight as well as a tuned ride.
In the past, many monocoque style BMX frames were criticized for being too stiff in the wrong places. With the aid of modern engineering software Phoenix engineers optimized the Talon’s strength-to-weight and “tuned” the flex of the frame so that the rider experiences efficient acceleration along with unmatched steering precision and balance.
Each frame is built in custom made fixtures to ensure proper alignment during each step of the hand TIG welding process. Frames are then solution heat treated, re-straightened and aged to true T6 hardness by a Certified Aerospace Metallurgist.
Frame geometry was carefully selected for each frame size with rider age-range, weight and projected skill level as the main criteria. Talon race frames will be offered in 7 class sizes and 5 anodized colors (gold, black, blue, red, green) and white (powder coat). Frame weights range from just over 1.14kg (mini) to 2.1kg (ProXXL).
