We just heard from Bill over at Supercross about the launch of the Vision F1x along with the press release below we had some little interesting insights.

Inside the MX Series: Why the F1x is a Material Science Breakthrough, the F1x is a masterclass in modulus and yield. We’ve overcome the brittleness of high-modulus carbon by using Toray M46x, which is 20% stronger than standard high-mod fibers. This allowed us to thin the walls while increasing stiffness. It’s a legacy of rigidity that started with our 6-bar stiffened rear ends and has now culminated in our most efficient power-transfer platform to date, as confirmed by Oli Moran and Kye Whyte during every high-torque Launch.

Supercross BMX Launches the Vision F1x: The Intersection of Formula 1 Technology and World Championship Racing.

APPLE VALLEY, CA – Supercross BMX, the 8-time Golden Crank “Bike of the Year” winner, is proud to announce the official launch of the Vision F1x. This frame represents a revolutionary evolution of the championship-proven monocoque Vision F1 and stands as the lightest, strongest, and most efficient Supercross BMX frame ever produced.

Engineering the “Launch”

The Vision F1x is not merely an update; it is a material revolution. While building upon the world-renowned geometry of the Vision F1, Supercross engineers have integrated a proprietary blend of Toray M40x and M46x Prepreg Carbon Fiber—the same high-performance materials trusted by the Red Bull F1 Team for their chassis and utilized in critical aerospace applications.

Historically, carbon fiber engineering faced a “trade-off” problem: increasing stiffness usually meant losing durability. The F1x breaks this rule using the Torayca™ MX Series. By utilizing nano-level control of the graphite crystallite structure, the M46x fiber is approximately 20% stronger than previous high-modulus fibers while maintaining extreme rigidity.

For the racer, this translates to “The Launch.” The high-modulus fibers act as a reinforced spine, resisting lateral flex during a Pro-level gate start and ensuring 100% of the rider’s energy is transferred to the rear wheel. This “livelier” feel has already been validated on the track by elite team riders Kye Whyte and Oli Moran, who describe the bike as “jumping” forward the moment they engage.

A Record-Breaking Legacy

This launch follows a historic milestone at the 2025 USA BMX Grand National, where the racing community voted Supercross the Golden Crank Bike of the Year for a record-breaking 8th time.

“Winning that 8th Golden Crank was a massive honor, but we aren’t the type to sit back and rest on our records,” said Bill Ryan, owner of Supercross BMX. “That recognition has only made us dig harder to ensure we are giving the BMX community the world’s best products. From the 6-bar stiffened rear ends of our early Cro-Mo days to this new F1x, our goal has always been to eliminate flex and maximize speed. The F1x is our way of saying ‘thank you’ to the riders who put us on top.”

Availability
