Since the beginning of BMX racing in the early 70’s, the materials and technologies used have not changed much. All BMX brands have continued to use steel or aluminum frames by keeping all the existing standards and have, each year, only modified the colors, geometries or tube shapes of their frames… without any real technological revolutions.
Prophecy BMX decided to fight to be different… and bring from 2011 all the new technologies inside the BMX “race” to give to all BMX riders: performance, innovation and high-tech product.
Our passion for BMX racing can be seen in everything we do on a daily basis, from the decisions we make internally at the company to the products we decide to make in order to be the best BMX racing brand in the world, this is what drives us to design and manufacture the highest quality products. Year after year, Prophecy BMX remains the undisputed leader in product innovation and cutting-edge technologies used. So not surprising that we are the first and the only carbon frame in BMX history to win a gold medal at the Olympic Games (Tokyo 2020).
We invite you to get to know us better: See by yourself what Prophecy BMX does as an industry leader; try our products, check out our latest technologies and innovations on our website or visit us at the next BMX race you attend. Thank you for choosing Prophecy BMX. We look forward to meeting you!
Prophecy BMX’s advanced carbon technology consists of optimizing the design of each BMX race frame to give them exceptional strength and stiffness by adding carbon where it is needed most, but at the same time removing it in areas that need it least. The goal is to achieve the perfect “race” BMX frame in terms of weight / stiffness / performance / comfort. There are 4 important steps to reach this perfection:
A “RACE” BMX frame needs a manufacturing method that has the highest strength to weight ratio available. Some manufacturing methods such as “tube to tube” add weight and do not provide sufficient or at least random strength due to the possibility of voids when joining and tying the tubes together. Thus, only monocoque manufacturing allows for a solid, reliable one-piece frame that avoids most other manufacturing problems.
Several forces are exerted on a BMX “race” frame whether they come directly from the ground (during jumps, landings …) or from the rider (during pedaling, pushes …). These forces push, pull, twist, stretch and compress each tube on the BMX “race” frame in all directions. Using finite element analysis (FEA) and 3D computer simulations, each carbon tube is designed to address these forces. So we do a complete analysis of the frame, pointing out all the stress points to determine the best possible way to design it, and our software allows us to identify all the potential problems and fix them before we even open the tooling.
The Prophecy BMX “race” frame is in fact made of several layers of carbon (pieces of carbon more or less big glued together). Since each piece has a different fiber direction, each piece and layer of carbon fiber used in our frames is placed exactly according to the specifications set by our engineers following finite element analysis (FEA) and 3D computer simulations. This allows the rider to have the stiffest, strongest, lightest and most reliable frame possible on the market.
There are a multitude of carbon fibers available on the market that could potentially be used to make a carbon BMX frame. Prophecy BMX engineers exclusively use TORAY carbon fiber from Japan, which is recognized worldwide for its exceptional performance and quality. According to the areas of the frame or accessories, they will select standard, intermediate or high modules carbon fibers to guarantee a product with optimal resistance, and even improved by the use of our special Epoxy resin from Korea. The choice of this resin is also essential because it allows to have a stable product by increasing the resistance to shocks in the various places of the frame, in particular at the bottom bracket and the head tube. And to maximize 100% the efficiency of our combination of carbon fiber and Epoxy resin, we developed our frame in 3D by showing on our computer screens all the forces and torsions during pedaling, thus giving the rider not only rigidity, but also bringing him essential comfort so that he can retranscribe his pedaling power emitted on the bike to the ground, and all this with a frame with minimal weight Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
