Carbon Fiber VS. Chromoly BMX bikes: Which is better? The Best in BMX!

[@woodystorey]

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 .

Just bought the SX250. Cant wait to get it, love the old school.

[@SupercrossBMX.]

Thanks? Please enjoy it!

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!

I wish I could get a carbon frame like yours kJ I can’t get one

Great Video ...Greatest Sport on Dirt.....

Good, informative review, with a humor. Well done!!!

[@SupercrossBMX.]

Thank you!

[@spongeimperium126]

I REALLYY wanna see you try the carbon wheels and 2 piece alloy cranks on the chromoly frame

[@ronaldmicheau5086]

I ride street when I ride but those bikes r sick!!look fast

[@andrexmillan]

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.

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?

CHROMOLY!! OLD SCHOOL

[@niko_hva]

I as an MTB freestyle rider, find BMX racing pretty cool

[@tonyengland9744]

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?

[@harpermx2962]

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

[@SupercrossBMX.]

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 .....

[@hawaiianpunch6534]

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

[@RJBTrueBlue99]

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?

[@scottbaican9566]

I didn’t even know they still made tiger teeth sprockets !

[@SupercrossBMX.]

These are re-issues that Michelle blesses us with the opportunity to do.

[@scottbaican9566]

@@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

[@GideonWallace]

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 😂

[@SupercrossBMX.]

hey no worries, thanks for watching!:)

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 need to add aluminum and titanium to the comparison.

[@gaffle-411]

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!
