Product Spotlight: Stay Strong For Life V5 BMX Racing Frames
The Stay Strong V5 racing frame has hit Aussie shores. Stay Strong boasts it’s their best frame ever, that it’s stiffer and stronger, this is achieved through a brand new drop out system which has to be seen to be believed. It takes 10 or 15mm axles, runs BB86 bottom bracket, integrated chain tensioners, has a tapered steerer and is a disc only frame with tidy brake hose/cable routing.
The new artwork is new, 4 two tone fade options, but the details in the “STY STRG CODE” decal design are cool and will suck you in to having a close look at the frame. As they say “resistance is futile”.
Manufacturers Description
Stay Strong’s best ever frame, just got even better!
Introducing the 2024 For Life V5 Stay Strong alloy BMX race frame. Starting off by keeping the stiffness (BB86 and oversized seat tube/downtube/bottom bracket junction), the winning race geometry (if it works, don’t fix it) and the “stay strong” look from the previous model but tweaking it to be even better than ever before. The main addition being the bespoke Race DVSN dropout and 5 point drop out system, which fixes the inserts and disc hanger to the frame for both ease of use and stiffness. The custom drop out allows for a taller seat stay, which in turn adds to a stiffer and wider back end. The rear access chain tensioners also make it super simple to adjust your wheel when needed.
The Race DVSN dropout and 5 point drop out system, brings these three additional elements to the V5.
1. Stiffer/wider back end.
2. Easy access to your back wheel/disc hanger all of which is fixed to the frame.
Stay Strong dropouts are available with both 10mm & 15mm inserts: 10mm as standard, and a custom 15mm thru axle kit available for anyone who wants to run a 15mm rear hub. The new V5 is their most technically designed and tested race frame yet, with new additional design features, whilst still incorporating the triple and double butted tubing, tapered headtube, smooth welds and the TTL (to the line) bottom bracket (BB86).
With every new frame come new and improved water decals and logos. With the V5 being no exception, welcome to the “STY STRG CODE” (lots of hidden messages to find across the frame). The other obvious difference is the fade out colour schemes, giving you not one but two colours per frame. The V5 is Their best looking and performing frame to date.
Please note: Pro size frames use a disc hanger suitable for 140mm disc rotors.
