Handcrafted in the USA from seamless drawn 6061 T6 butted aluminum, this frame combines proven race-winning geometry with a host of structural upgrades that make it faster, stiffer, and more capable than ever. The updated design introduces wrap-around seat stays, a slightly shorter seat tube, and a fully integrated disc brake adapter - eliminating the need for bulky axle-mounted hardware.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  As the largest Cruiser frame in the Crupi lineup to feature a 1\" integrated headtube, the Catalina 2.0 occupies a unique position for competitive Expert-class riders who demand precision engineering and race-proven performance.

The all-new updated geometry and integrated disc adapter bring this legendary frame into the modern era without compromising the race-proven handling that Crupi riders trust at the highest levels of competition. Every frame is hand built by skilled craftspeople - not mass produced - which means you're getting a level of attention to detail that factory-line frames simply can't match. For parents, coaches, and riders investing in a serious race setup, the Catalina 2.0 delivers the stiffness, precision, and long-term durability that championship-level BMX racing demands. When your frame is built right here in America with aerospace-grade aluminum and race-tuned geometry, you go to the gate with confidence.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eDo I need to buy the disc brake adapter separately?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eYes. While the Catalina 2.0 frame features a built-in disc adapter mount (eliminating the need for axle-mounted adapters), you will still need to purchase Crupi's Disc Adapter Kit and use a 120mm rotor for proper fit. Compatible brake systems include Tektro, TRP Evo, TRP Slate, and all Shimano hydraulic disc brake kits.
