When we launched the Vision F1 in 2021, it was the first BMX racing frame in the world built as a true monocoque carbon chassis. Five years later, it's still the frame that wins. World Cup wins. National titles. Olympic finals. Every continent. Real receipts, not marketing.

What the Vision F1 Is

The Vision F1 is a monocoque carbon fiber BMX race frame and fork — engineered, cured, and finished as a single continuous carbon structure. No glued joints. No bonded plates. No assembled rear triangle. The entire chassis is one piece.

This matters because every glue joint, every bolted plate, and every weld in a traditional frame is a place where energy is lost in transmission. Pedal energy that goes into the frame instead of the wheel. Vibrations that fatigue you over a 32-second moto. The Vision F1 was built to send what you put in straight to the rear wheel — nothing in between.

We took 18 months of testing to bring it to market. Every prototype was raced by our factory team before we shipped a single unit to a customer. When we finally launched in 2021, the Vision F1 won that year's USA BMX Golden Crank "Bike of the Year." It's been on a podium somewhere in the world every single weekend since.

The Material — Toray T1100-KS

The Vision F1 frame is built from TORAYCA T1100-KS — Toray's flagship aerospace-grade carbon fiber. The same material grade used in Formula 1 chassis monocoques, next-generation aerospace structures, and the highest-tier composite applications in the world. It's not commodity carbon. Toray controls supply tightly and grants direct access only to manufacturers with the engineering rigor to use it correctly.

The matched fork is TORAYCA T700S Nano Alloy Resin — a different fiber-resin combination optimized for the front-end loads a BMX fork actually sees on a gate drop and a first jump. Same Toray supply, different layup. Both engineered to the same standard.

The fact that we have access to T1100-KS at all is a function of our 35-year manufacturing partnership with our cycling factory. The certs are on file. The supply is direct. Every Vision F1 frame uses material that competing BMX brands cannot get.

The Build — One Piece, Zero Compromise

True monocoque construction means the entire frame is laid up, cured, and finished as a single continuous carbon structure. Here's why we did it that way:

• No JointsEvery glue joint, weld, and bonded plate in a traditional frame is an energy sink and a fatigue point. Monocoque construction eliminates them entirely.
• Captive Solid Carbon Rear Dropout with FLIP/CHIPAdjustable chainstay length via two FLIP/CHIPs (15mm and 10mm). Run a tight back end for tracks that suit it, run longer for stability. Both included with every Pro chassis.
• Built-In Chain Idler / GuideIntegrated into the frame structure. No bolt-on idler arm rattling loose mid-moto. Cleaner, lighter, more reliable.
• Threaded Bottom Bracket — T47 or Euro by SizeBottom bracket trends come and go. Threading stays. Pro size and larger frames run a threaded T47 shell; Expert XL and smaller run a threaded Euro shell. Every Supercross frame built since 2001 has been threaded, never press-fit — serviceable in any bike shop on Earth.
• Disc and V-Brake CompatibleRemovable V-brake mounts and a hydraulic / mechanical disc brake adapter kit ship with every Pro chassis. Run what your track and your setup demands.
• Tested 3× the EN BMX Safety StandardWe don't ship a frame that hasn't been beaten on for thousands of cycles. Then we beat on it 3× harder than the international BMX safety standard requires.

Race Receipts

The Vision F1 has been ridden to results that matter. A short list:

• 2021 USA BMX Golden Crank "Bike of the Year" — the year of launch
• UCI BMX Racing World Cup wins on multiple continents
• USA BMX National Championships across multiple classes and seasons
• Olympic finals appearances
• Riders racing the Vision F1 in more than 30 countries

It's not theory. It's not a launch story. Every weekend of the year, somewhere on the planet, the Vision F1 is on a gate that matters.

Factory Team Riders on the Vision F1

From returning Olympic legends to the fastest rookies in the country, the Vision F1 is the chassis our factory team chooses to put on the gate. Every weekend, every continent, every level of racing — their feedback shapes every revision we ship.

From two-time Olympic gold to a two-time UCI World Champion to the fastest 2026 Rookie Pro and UCI World #3. Three countries, two continents, every level of racing — one chassis. That's the proof statement.

Sizing — From Mini to Pro XXXXL

The Vision F1 is one of the very few BMX racing frames built across a full size run. From your first race bike to a UCI Elite Pro XXXXL, the same materials, the same manufacturing, the same standard:

• Mini — 17.5" top tube, 12" chainstays
• Junior — 18.5" top tube, 12.5" chainstays
• Expert — 19.5" top tube, 13.75" chainstays
• Expert XL — 20" top tube, 14.0" chainstays
• Pro — 20.5" top tube, 15.0" chainstays
• Pro XL — 21.25" top tube, 15.2" chainstays
• Pro XXL — 21.75" top tube, 15.2" chainstays
• Pro XXXL — 22.25" top tube, 15.2" chainstays
• Pro XXXXL — 23" top tube, 15.2" chainstays
• Pro Cruiser 24" — sold as a separate model, same DNA

What's In the Box

Every Vision F1 Pro Chassis ships with everything you need to build a complete frame & fork setup. (Mini, Junior, Expert, and Expert XL chassis kits include 1 set of FLIP/CHIPs sized for the 100mm axle and use a 10mm front dropout fork, which needs no axle adapters.)

• 1 × Vision F1 FrameToray T1100-KS monocoque carbon
• 1 × Vision F1 Matching ForkToray T700S Nano Alloy Resin carbon
• 1 × Steering Tube Top CapBrand-finished
• 1 × 20mm Fork Axle AdaptersFor the Pro fork — modern hub axle compatibility

Frame Geometry — Pro Sizes

Frame Geometry — Mini through Expert XL

Specifications vary depending upon Fork, Tire, and Rim selection. Measurements based on Supercross Fork and equal-size (e.g., 20×1.75 front and rear) tire combinations. Specifications subject to change without notice. All weights measured on a UPS-calibrated scale and vary with powder coat thickness and filler rod usage. Polished and anodized frames are the lightest as there's no paint.

Vision F1 vs Vision F1x

If you're choosing between the Vision F1 and our newer flagship — the Vision F1x — here's the honest read:

Both are race-winning, championship-grade carbon. The F1 has the longer track record. The F1x has the newer technology. There is no wrong answer — only the answer that fits your program, your budget, and your timing. Our 2026 race frame guide compares both against the rest of the field.
