Hand-built in the USA from seamless drawn 6061 T6 butted aluminum, this frame delivers a winning combination of stiffness, strength, and low weight that serious BMX racers count on. The 20.5\" top tube makes it ideal for riders 5'3\" and taller - especially lighter riders and girls with longer legs who need front-end length without the added heft of a Pro-class frame.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  The Catalina 2.0 arrives with notable upgrades over its predecessor, including wrap-around seat stays, a slightly shorter seat tube, and a fully integrated built-in Disc Adapter - no axle-mounted adapters required. Whether you're racing UCI or USA BMX tracks, this frame's geometry is race-proven and refined to keep your position consistent no matter where your rear wheel sits. It's the largest 20\" frame featuring a 22.2mm seat tube, which plays a key role in keeping overall weight to a minimum.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSA Hand-Built Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Every frame is hand-built in the USA from seamless drawn 6061 T6 butted aluminum tubing for race-ready quality and consistency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e20.5\" Top Tube:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sized for riders 5'3\" and up - ideal for longer-legged riders and lighter riders who need front-end reach without the weight of a Pro frame.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWrap-Around Seat Stays:\u003c\/strong\u003e New-generation seat stay design adds stiffness and strength to the rear triangle for a more responsive, planted feel on the track.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-In Disc Adapter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Integrated disc brake adapter eliminates the need for axle-mounted adapters - compatible with Tektro, TRP Evo, TRP Slate, and all Shimano hydraulic disc brake kits (Note: Hope, Avid, and mechanical kits are not compatible).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e120mm Rotor Requirement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Requires Crupi's Disc Adapter kit and a 120mm rotor for proper disc brake fit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeardrop Chain Stay Tubes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aerodynamic teardrop-shaped chain stays create a stiff, strong rear end built to handle hard sprints and rough tracks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Down Tube:\u003c\/strong\u003e Larger-diameter square down tube adds frame stiffness and overall structural integrity where it matters most.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eParallel 3\/8\" (10mm) Axle Slots:\u003c\/strong\u003e Axle slots run parallel to the ground so frame geometry stays consistent regardless of rear wheel position - no guessing, no compromise.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThicker 3D Drop-Outs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extra-stiff drop-outs designed for disc brake use while still accommodating standard chain tensioners for easy rear wheel installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eV-Brake Compatible:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brake posts are included for use with all V-Brakes, giving you flexibility in your brake setup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e22.2mm Seat Tube:\u003c\/strong\u003e The largest 20\" frame with a 22.2mm seat tube keeps weight to a minimum - a critical advantage in BMX racing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCrupi Catalina 2.0 Expert 2X Race Frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Crupi has been building race-winning BMX frames for decades, and the Catalina 2.0 Expert 2X represents the best of that legacy - refined, updated, and ready to compete at the highest level.

For parents and coaches looking for a frame that grows with a developing racer without sacrificing performance, the Catalina 2.0 is a clear choice. Its race-proven geometry, lightweight 22.2mm seat tube, and premium 6061 T6 construction mean this frame will hold up through seasons of training and competition. If you're ready to invest in a frame that's built to win, the Crupi Catalina 2.0 Expert 2X delivers on every front.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView Product Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTop Tube Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSeat Tube Diameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22.2mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAxle Slot Size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\/8\" (10mm), parallel to ground\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFrame Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeamless drawn 6061 T6 butted aluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDisc Brake Compatibility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTektro, TRP Evo, TRP Slate, all Shimano hydraulic kits (Hope, Avid \u0026amp; mechanical kits do not fit)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRequired Rotor Size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120mm (with Crupi Disc Adapter kit)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eV-Brake Compatible\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes - brake posts included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRecommended Rider Height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5'3\" and taller\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOrigin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand-built in the USA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat disc brake kits are compatible with this frame?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eThe Catalina 2.0 Expert 2X is compatible with Tektro, TRP Evo, TRP Slate, and all Shimano hydraulic disc brake kits when used with Crupi's Disc Adapter kit and a 120mm rotor.
