Best WeThePeople BMX Frames
1. Chaos Machine Frame
The WeThePeople Chaos Machine frame is a wild, dirt-ready setup built for riders who want speed, stability, and full control.
Designed with Tyson Jones-Peni, it features long, trail-focused frame geometry that feels super stable when roasting jumps or blasting bowls.
The frame comes packed with modern braking options, including disc mounts that work in multiple chainstay positions and removable chainstay U-brake mounts for riders who prefer a traditional setup.
WTP also widened the rear triangle to easily clear 2.4” tires and used larger-radius tubing to keep the back end stiff and strong.
Up front, the 127mm tall head tube keeps your cockpit clean with fewer spacers, while the reinforced top and down tube gussets add extra strength.
Built-in chain tensioners make rear wheel setup a breeze, especially for trail riders who want everything dialed.
While trail and transitions focused, Chaos Machine also works great for tall riders.
WTP Chaos Machine frame specs:
- Top Tube Length: 21”, 21.35”, 21.7”
- Head Tube: 74.25° / 127mm
- Seat Tube Angle: 71°

- BB Height: 11.5”
- Weight: 5.31lbs (21.35”)
- Best for: Trails & transition riding
- Price: $439.99 (may vary)
2. Utopia Frame
Utopia frame is a flatland-specific frame from WTP that is the “most advanced flatland frame” they’ve ever made.
The frame uses their signature hydroformed tubing and boasts a lifetime warranty just like other frames but with modern flatland geometry.
The frame has a kinked top tube to fit the needs of flatland riding.
This is also a BRAKELESS frame, meaning there are no mounts or other brake hardware options.
The frame comes in two different top tube lengths of 19” and 20” even and weighs in at just 4.27 lbs at the 20” top tube length.

- Price: $399.99 (may vary)
3. Doomsayer Frame
The Doomsayer frame from WeThePeople is Jordan Godwin’s signature frame which according to WTP is a “natural progression of the battleship frame combined with Jordan’s specific needs”.
The Doomsayer frame has a higher bottom bracket height and investment cast dropouts compared to the Battleship.
Jordan says it is exactly what he wanted and there is nothing he would change about it.
The seat stay tubing on the Doomsayer has also been strengthened to help frame TWISTING from Jordan’s hard spins.
In addition, this is a brakeless frame and also has built-in chain tensioners on the dropouts.
Note: Check out my extensive WeThePeople Doomsayer frame review.
WTP Doomsayer frame specs:
- Top Tube Length: 20.5”, 20.75”, 21”
- Head Tube: 76.25° / 127mm
- Seat Tube Angle: 71°
- ChainStay Length: 12.95-13.5”
- Standover: 9”
- BB Height: 11.9”
- Weight: 5.2lbs (20.5”)
- Best for: (Extremely) Technical street & park riding
- Price: $399.99 (may vary)
4. Pathfinder Frame
Here is Felix Prangenberg’s signature frame called the Pathfinder.
In 2020 the frame was given a complete revamp over previous iterations, including; a shorter chainstay, new graphics, and an offset thickness chainstay & bottom bracket shell.
This offset thickness means that the chainstay tubing and BB shell are thicker “in areas susceptible to grind damage.”
This difference in thickness is obvious in the chainstay tubing and is noticeable when looking at the BB.
Felix says that without this feature, he would easily GRIND THROUGH the frame.
The shorter chainstay is now 12.75” at the minimum versus 12.95” at maximum previously and this is a brakeless frame with external top/down tube gussets.
Note #2: The majority of WeThePeople frames are made in Taiwan.
FYI: Don’t miss my WTP Pathfinder frame review.
WTP Pathfinder frame specs:
- Top Tube Length: 20.75”, 21”, 21.5”
- Head Tube: 76° / 127mm

- Best for: Technical street & park riding
- Price: $394.99 (may vary)
5. Arc Frame
WeThePeople ARC Frame is Murray Loubser’s signature frame, built for technical street riding with a super clean, modern feel.
It uses butted Japanese seamless 4130 chromoly plus reinforced hydroformed tubing, so it stays stiff and tough without looking bulky.
The geometry is designed to be nimble, with a short 12.75” rear end (slammed) and a steep 76.1° head tube for quick steering and a shorter overall wheelbase.
At the same time, the 70° seat tube angle gives a slightly longer reach feel, which helps on manuals and technical lines.
The 7.5mm investment-cast dropouts include integrated chain tensioners and a smaller shape to avoid peg overhang, so grinds feel smoother and less snaggy.
Clearance is solid, too, with ovalized chainstays and a wider rear triangle for up to a 2.5” tire, plus more room around the sprocket.
Details like thicker weld areas at the head tube, box-section braces, and CNC touches on the head tube and bridge make it feel like a high-end frame, not just another chromoly triangle.
With top tube options in 20.5”, 20.7”, and 21”, it’s easy to pick the size that fits your riding style and body height.
WTP Arc frame specs:
- Top Tube Length: 20.5”, 20.7”, 21”
- Head Tube: 76.1° / 127mm
- Seat Tube Angle: 70°
- ChainStay Length: 12.75″ – 13.1″
- Standover: 9.6”
- BB Height: 11.8”
- Weight: 5.59lbs (20.75”)
- Best for: Technical street & park riding
- Price: $529.99 (may vary)
6. Battleship Frame
The WeThePeople Battleship frame is a progressive street-oriented frame for the modern-day BMX street rider.
According to WTP, the frame utilizes hydroformed tubing that “maximizes the welding area on the head tube junction for increased stiffness and durability.”
The Battleship also has a relatively short 12.7” chainstay which leads to the progressiveness and responsiveness of the current BMX street frames.
This one also has the option of brakes with removable hardware and a lifetime warranty.
The 127mm tall head tube is also present to ADD strength and give a clean look with fewer headset spacers at the same time.
Note: I also have a full-blown review of the WTP Battleship Magnum frame.
WTP Battleship frame specs:
- Top Tube Length: 20.5”, 20.75”, 21”
- Head Tube: 75.75° / 127mm
- Seat Tube Angle: 71°
- ChainStay Length: 12.7” slammed
- Standover: 9”
- BB Height: 11.7”
- Weight: 5.35lbs (21”)
- Best for: All-around street & park riding
- Price: $374.99 (may vary)
7. Paradox Frame
The Paradox frame takes their original Battleship frame and gives it all of their new frame technology making a frame that is the “Ultimate Street Frame.”
The frame uses a ton of investment cast technology with the invest cast yoke, seat stay bridge, dropouts, and seat clamp.
This investment cast yoke allows for the short 12.7 rear end to also be compatible with 2.4” tires and have BETTER sprocket clearance.
With all geometry being the same other than .25 degrees less in head tube angle, essentially, this frame is the same as the Battleship but with the new technology added in.
WTP Paradox frame specs:
- Top Tube Length: 20.75”, 21”, 21.25”
- Head Tube: 75.5° / 127mm
- Seat Tube Angle: 71°
- ChainStay Length: 12.7” slammed
- Standover: 9”
- BB Height: 11.7”
- Weight: 5.8lbs (21.25”)

How To Make Your WTP Frame Last Longer
Here are my four key factors to ensure the longevity of your frame:
1. Routine Inspection & Cleaning
Frequently examine your frame for signs of cracks, dents, or rust, especially around welded areas.
Clean off any dirt, grime, or corrosive substances to prevent damage. If you notice any signs of wear, address them promptly.
2. Ride Responsibly
While BMX is about pushing limits, constantly subjecting your frame to high-impact stunts, especially those beyond your skill level, can hasten wear.
As you advance, practice techniques that minimize unnecessary stress on the frame. In other words, try to learn how to land smoothly.
And DO NOT THROW your bike!
3. Proper Storage
Store your BMX in a dry, cool place away from direct exposure to the elements.
Moisture can lead to rust, and prolonged exposure to sunlight can weaken some materials. A dedicated stand or wall mount can prevent accidental knocks or falls.
But I store it upside down, so the bike sits on the grips and the seat.
See more on the topic by checking my how to store a BMX bike guide.
4. Invest In Quality
Start with a high-quality frame, which is exactly what you’re doing when getting a WTP frame.
Frames crafted from superior materials with better construction techniques inherently possess a longer lifespan.
Ensure your choice aligns with your primary riding style, be it street, park, or dirt.
Maintaining the entirety of your BMX bike, not just the frame, and replacing worn parts when needed will ensure you get the most life out of your equipment.
Thus, take a peek at my complete BMX bike maintenance guide and keep your bike fresh and running smoothly.
