While most of the BMX racing world go crazy for the latest and greatest frames using the latest in carbon and exotic alloys the guys over at Subrosa head back to their BMX racing roots and have developed a cromo race frame. I’m not sure what’s going on in the world of freestyle for brands like Subrosa, Colony and Cult to have all come out with race frames recently but it can’t be a bad thing. Can it?

The Subrosa Speedwolf has the classic look of a cromo frame with modern features to lighten and stiffen it. While the current breed of BMX racer may have forgotten all about cromo I find it refreshing that there are still companies around today that are willing to give it a new lease on life. Long live cromo.

Manufacturer’s Description

Subrosa is proud to introduce our 1st race frame, the Speedwolf. To create the stiffest chromoly frame on the market we developed proprietary shaped seat and down tubes that maximize the contact area and reduces flex. Other features include: 3-D CNC dropouts with integrated chain adjusters, included Q/R seat clamp and dual stiffeners behind the BB. Whether it’s rippin gates, staying low and fast over a double, or pushing past the finish for the win, the Speedwolf’s got ya covered!
