Are you on the hunt for the best Radio BMX frames?
Do you need something affordable but strong and reliable? Or you are into BMX racing?
Yup, you came to the right place!
Even though the Radio’s price is lower than the industry’s average, you still get a product you can trust.
Solid and reliable, if you will.
After all, Radio Bikes is owned by no other than WeThePeople, so you know quality matters. (A lot!)
What’s also cool about Radio is its heavy focus on racing. But their freestyle frame line is also strong.
Note: If you’re more of an all-around rider, I suggest you opt for Nemesis.
Enjoy.
Best Radio BMX Frames
Note: Frames are listed in no particular order. (The 1st one is not necessarily better than the 5th one.)
1. Radio Nemesis Frame (My Fav!)
Here is the Nemesis frame from Radio Bikes. This frame is an all-around frame with somewhat aggressive geometry.
The responsive frame geometry has a 75.5-degree head tube angle and a short rear end with a wide range at 12.7”-13.3”.
This is combined with a moderately high standover and lower bottom bracket height.
The Nemesis has top and bottom tube external gussets and removable brake hardware (buy separately).
The frame is also built with straight gauge tubing that is fully heat-treated, and it carries a lifetime guarantee.
If you’re looking for a reliable street frame, Nemesis is it.
Nemesis frame specs:
- Top Tube Length: 20.75”, 21”
- Head Tube: 75.5°
- Seat Tube Angle: 71°
- Chainstay Length: 12.7” – 13.3”
- Standover: 9.25”
- BB Height: 11.6”
- Weight: 5.2 lbs (2.36 kg) / 21”
2. Radio Squad Frame
Radio’s Squad frame is a clean, lightweight, do-it-all setup, with geometry that works just as well in the park as it does on the streets or on dirt jumps.
Made from butted seamless 4130 chromoly tubing, it keeps the weight low without sacrificing strength, making it one of Radio’s toughest all-around frames.
The 117mm (4.6″) tall head tube, integrated headset, and gyro-tab holes give you a modern front end that looks clean and feels solid.
Out back, the CNC-machined 6mm dropouts and adjustable 13″–13.5″ chainstay length lets you fine-tune the feel of your bike.
The custom CNC-machined head tube logo is a nice touch that makes the frame stand out without going over the top.
You also get removable brake mounts and guides, so you can run brakes or keep it brakeless for a clean look.
With stable-but-tech geo and a lifetime guarantee, the Radio Squad frame is built for riders who want one frame that simply handles everything.
Squad frame specs:
- Top Tube Length: 20.6”, 21”
- Head Tube: 75.25°
- Seat Tube Angle: 71°
- Chainstay Length: 13″ – 13.5″
- Standover: 8.6”
- BB Height: 11.8”
- Weight: 4.98 lbs (2.26 kg) / 21”
3. Radio Saxon Frame
The Radio Saxon frame is a fast, nimble, park-focused build designed for shredders who want maximum control during tech tricks or at higher-speed transition riding.
Its super short 12.75″ chainstay and 8″ standover keep the frame responsive and easy to whip around, so your trick combos will feel more effortless.
Still, feel free to extend the rear wheel to 13.25″ if you need a tad more stability.
Moreover, the unique oval seat tube gives you extra foot clearance — a small detail that makes a big difference in real riding.
Up front, the smooth hourglass head tube and 117mm height create a clean look while helping you run fewer spacers.
The 11.6″ bottom bracket height and 75° head tube angle balance stability and quick handling perfectly for modern park riding.
With CNC-machined 6mm dropouts, butted 4130 chromoly tubing, and clean, removable brake mounts, the Saxon is built tough without adding unnecessary weight.
It’s available in 20.4″ and 20.8″ top tube sizes and comes in three great color options.
Backed by a lifetime guarantee, the Radio Saxon frame is a killer choice for riders who live at the skatepark and want a frame built for (serious) progression.
Saxon frame specs:
- Top Tube Length: 20.4”, 20.8”
- Head Tube: 75°
- Seat Tube Angle: 71°
- Chainstay Length: 12.75″ – 13.25″
- Standover: 8”
- BB Height: 11.6”
- Weight: 4.9 lbs (2.22 kg) / 21”
4. Radio Quartz Pro Frame
The Quartz Pro Frame from Radio Bikes is a BMX race frame that is a two-time world championship-winning frame, according to their website.
This frame is an alloy frame that uses Radio’s Helium frame as its base with some changes.
The frame is designed to be fully disc brake compatible and utilizes a new hydroformed 6061-T6 tubing which Radio calls their Paradigm tubing.
This change allows the frame to be considerably lighter than their Helium Frame. Radio says that Quartz frame is “the lightest and sleekest machine on the track.”
Quartz Pro frame specs:
- Top Tube Length: 20.5”
- Head Tube: 74°
- Seat Tube Angle: 71°
- Chainstay Length: 13.9”
- Seat Tube Length: 231 mm
- Seatpost Size: 27.2 mm
- BB Height: 11.6”
- Weight: 3.64 lbs (1.65 kg)
5. Radio Solar Pro Frame
Here is the Radio Bikes Solar Pro BMX race frame.
This is a carbon fiber frame that uses Torayca carbon and a mono construction which means that it is one piece.
The Radio website says the Solar Pro frame is “laboratory tested & proven to be insanely stiff.”
This frame has internal cable routing and weighs in at just 2.56 pounds.
Solar Pro frame specs:
- Top Tube Length: 20.75”
- Head Tube: 74.5°
- Seat Tube Angle: 71°
- Chainstay Length: 13.9”
