Are you ready to check the best Fiend BMX frames?
Yup, these are heavily street-oriented.
Everyone knows that Fiend is a rider-owned bike company.
Not just any rider; it’s Garrett Reynolds’!
The story of Fiend started in 2011 with a promotional video.
That’s it!
It all took off from there.
This post covers:

Best Fiend BMX Frames
Note: Frames are listed in no particular order. (The 1st one is not necessarily better than the 5th one – all are DOPE!)
1. Raekes
If technical, wild and just overall insane riding is what you’re after, Johnny Raekes‘ signature Fiend frame might be the perfect solution for you.
It comes in three sizes and two colors (the trans earth green look vivid!) with removable brake mounts (which don’t come with the frame.)
What I really like about the frame is the higher standover at 9.5″ and the insane 8mm thick investment cast dropouts.
Also, Raekes frame has ovalized down tube and chain stays, which boosts its strength.
This one is for tech wizards with a short rear-end, steep front-end, and overall solid build!
Raekes specs:
- Top Tube Length: 20.6”, 20.8”, 21”
- Head Tube: 75.5°
- Seat Tube Angle: 71°
- Chainstay Length: 12.9”
- Standover: 9.5”
- BB Height: 11.6”
- Weight: 5.2 lbs 20.75”
- Price: $389.99 (may vary)
2. Mills
If you know, you know. I’m speaking about the graphics on Lewis Mills‘s signature Fiend frame. (Hint: Scarface.)
This beast of a frame means serious business. It’s a street machine that you can easily use for park riding. (Even trails, as that’s what Lewis does from time to time, too.)
The frame comes in four different top tube lengths, covering almost every rider out there.
It features a 4130 heat-treated chromoly tubing with internal gussets for extra strength.
Also, the Mills frame comes with 8mm thick dropouts with built-in chain tensioners. Strong AF!
Mills specs:
- Top Tube Length: 20.5”, 20.75”, 21”, 21.25”
- Head Tube: 75.5°
- Seat Tube Angle: 71°
- Chainstay Length: 13.1”
- Standover: 9.5”
- BB Height: 11.625”
- Weight: 5 lbs 20.75”
- Price: $445.39 (may vary)
3. Morrow
Fiend’s Morrow V4 frame is the fourth iteration of Ty Morrow’s signature frame from Fiend. The frame has external gussets on both the top/down tube and a double-butted top tube.
The down tube uses double-butted oval tubing and the seat tube is externally butted.
At 11.625”, the bottom bracket height is lower than average for the modern street geometry category, while the 75.5° heat tube and 12.9” chainstay fit the category well.
The Morrow V4 is a brakeless frame with chain tensioners built into the 6mm thick heat-treated dropouts.
Note: See Ty Morrow’s bike check.
Morrow specs:
- Top Tube Length: 20.5”, 20.75”, 21”, 21.25”
- Head Tube: 75.5°
- Seat Tube Angle: 71°
- Chainstay Length: 12.9” Slammed
- Standover: 9”
- BB Height: 11.625”
- Weight: 5 lbs 20.75”
- Price: $369.99 (may vary)

Designed by Garrett Reynolds himself, the Reynolds V2 frame from Fiend is the second version of his signature frame from his company Fiend.
With a full heat treated 4130 chromoly construction, the top and down tubing for the Reynolds V2 are double butted with the top tube featuring an internal gusset.
The Down tube has an external gusset and the dropouts are investment cast 8mm thick with built-in chain tensioners.
This brakeless frame comes in at an even 5 pounds at a 20.75” top tube length.
Note: See Garrett Reynolds’ bike check.

Colin Varanyak’s signature Varanyak V2 from Fiend is the second version of his signature frame from the company.
It has a double-butted top tube with an external gusset and an integrated seat post clamp.
The seat stays on the frame are tapered down to the 8mm thick dropouts, which are investment cast (with built-in chain tensioners).
This brakeless frame has a lower bottom bracket height of just 11.5”.
On the topic of the bottom bracket, the Varanyak V2 has a heat-treated bottom bracket shell and the frame is available in 4 different top tube sizes.
