That Chromo frame is just SICK!!...if you have the strength, the carbon is the way to go, but if you’re an older rider and don’t have the strength you once had when we were younger because it’s more forgiving and not as rough a ride, chromo is it...and KJ, it was you and I that talked for a bit about chromo on Facebook a couple weeks ago for older racers and you said you felt smoother on your chromo bike, but faster on your carbon bike. I’m 56, still racing since the 80’s and I’ll be getting that Supercross chromo frame here pretty soon...I hope, whenever Bill is ready to get them shipped out...
In bmx freestyle flatland , street or vert I,ll choose chrome Molly over any or all new bikes , especially from 1987 up to 1991 , them bikes were built to last & were tough as hell , I’ve only seen just a hand full of chrome, Molly bikes crack the frame or bend frames , I’ve seen plenty of forks bend but once bike company’s came out with tapered forks it was all over for bmx flatland , street & vert .
KJ I’m your biggest fan! I can’t believe they would kick you off the track since you are so famous. Anyways if you ever find that gauge could you please sign it and send it to me since I’m your biggest fan?
dang, the way you with that bike around man makes me wonder how it would compare to a dirt bike on that track of course with the proper tires. if my comment seems ignorant, it is because I don't follow either for my racing I just ended up here somehow 😂
One big stuff to have in mind... ACTUAL TRACKS, they are rock hard and stiff like nascar track so stiff frame is better... BUT, may be chromoly is cool for non permanent tracks or more dirty ones and provably your knuckles will thanks chrome instead carbon even on pumptracks. PS: Racing with a HARO CITIZEN but ride pumptracks with my SE ASSASSIN CHROME chick... Fully inflated, ASSASSIN feels like a double suspension bike.
Hey KJ, do you ever run a 1.6" tire with a 44/16 or equavalent gear ratio? If so what are your thoughts and experiences compared to running it with a 1.75" tire?
@@SupercrossBMX. I ran one in the early 90s ! Loved that sprocket ! It got bent one day somehow and I couldn’t get a new one so I bought a VG Cog that I’m still running
Cromoly seems to be much stronger to me. I have seen carbon fork snap and have never seen Landing gear bend let alone break. Sure they are lighter but are they stronger?
The carbon is almost as strong as the chromoly the only reason carbon breaks is usually if there is damage to the fibers weather a rock scratched em up or something carbon is plenty of strength when taken care of
Carbon is a very strong material. And it is getting more and more refined every day. We still build Cro-mo for the older riders who want the more flex for the knees and ankles, but the Carbon is the fastest and most efficient way for a race frame. And the strongest! There is a reason .....
I have a weird question for all your riders out there any questions or tips would be much oblige so I have a 2004 Redline mx20 chromoly steel I can't find any more information about it but if anybody has any information on it let me know thank you
You're an experienced BMX rider and you're just now realizing a lighter weight BMX bike is easier to race and ride? So tired of these modern-day BMX bikes with chunky, fatboy seats, chunky rims, porker tires, and a total disregard to aesthetics (looks). Supercross bikes look awesome ESPECIALLY their carbon fiber ones!

I’m not even into BMI bikes (Chromoly Fixed Gear Guy!) but this was so entertaining I’m going to subscribe and keep up the good work!
Just bought the SX250. Cant wait to get it, love the old school.

I didn’t even know they still made tiger teeth sprockets !
These are re-issues that Michelle blesses us with the opportunity to do.

Angle of the dangle. Use the chromoly for endurance training.

Hi Dominic, head on over to BMXmuseum.com or BMXsociety and they will have plenty of information for you.
Chrome all day
Good day, were can we order this carbon frame and fork for our bmx?
you can always check with your favorite Supercross BMX dealer, and if you don't have one local, www.supercrossbmx.com is always a great option.
@@SupercrossBMX. thanks
@@rolesymongomez4221 Anytime!!
Kid is still looking for it
Great video!
That One Dude thank you!
Supercross is awesome- wyatt
Thank you!
You need to add aluminum and titanium to the comparison.
Working on an Aluminum one now with our ENVY RS7
Weight weenies... LOL I always thought it would be easier for me to loose weight off myself than it would be to shave weight off my bike! LOL
Lenn Long 😂😂
Titanium ..?i ride a Josh bmx,Ignit fork and Xmod cycles bar ..all Titanium,best choice for me ,49 years old ..😎👍
What about titanium and magnesium?
Oh, two very bad materials for BMX racing frames… we will have to schedule in a video
@@SupercrossBMX. what's the bad thing about titanium?
Por favor traduzcan. Los videos al español de nada sirven que esten tan buenos deven complacer ala audencia
Wait.... IM FROM ROCK HILL

Seen so many carbon mtbs break in my day, I’d NEVER trust a BMX one. Sometimes, metal is just better.
And then you get me being 15 right now on a old steel race bike and I’m going for a lighter bike soon
Kahit mtb bike lang lodss
Trust 4130
Penge po bike
I think I got a chromoly bmx in my creepy basement i might go and check. 2days later yep it is a chromoly
Ha, creepy basement... at least it wasn't a creepy attic on halloween..... BOOO!!
@@SupercrossBMX. well I leave in a hunted house anyway
Please give me your bmx 🤘😬
You LOOK faster on cro mo..
I am the Opposite of him I am a huge Weight Weenie lol
You race/ride what you can afford. Of course carbon won’t flex and have a better power transfer. Save the money and do a few more squats in the gym 🤣
Anything thats free.
