New BMX Frame by Phoenix Pro Cycles – The Talon

Those scooters are lame.

Hideous. I am embarrassed for myself and everyone else in the BMX community if we are being grouped in with scooter company designs like this.
It is obvious that the people designing this frame do not know the needs of a BMX frame, and are merely trying to do something different and cheesy.
Mid 90s Specialized anyone?

Big difference in modeling up a solid in CAD and executing individual parts and tubes in the real world. Why show both?

Very simliar to the Intense frame with a variation on the seat tube. Also, dgaddis is correct, bmx racers want zero flex as it is a pure sprint on dirt that is equivalent to pavement.

Apparently Tom Floyd’s kid is into flexy BMX frames as well, but who knows, “competitive 4-stroke” used to be an oxymoron in the motorcross world.

Regardless, scootering falls well below even trampolining on my sports that I respect scale.

I like it when people step out of the norm of cookie cutter products. Kudos to that.

BMX racers slam their seat post and raise it high between moto’s for cool down. So…When the seat is slammed, you’re going to see an ugly, scratched up seatpost exposed in the seat tube delete area.

Kinda defeats the intent of the missing seat tube aesthetic.

Hopefully that’s a prototype frame on the bottom as the welds are a bit boogery.

Looks like the designer was assuming that carbon would be the end material. It does not translate well into aluminum.

So much wrong.

That back end is snapping clean off when you case a 20 foot jump, what’s in place to prevent that? the bottom bracket is hideously unsupported and stiffness out of the gate surely has to suffer as a result? Poorly thought out. As pointed out above, seat post will be exposed at times and the finish is rough. Micro scooters are a plague on grass roots BMX and skateboarding – don’t think you’ll waltz into the bmx if you’re involved here.
