Crupi Catalina 2.0 Micro Race Bike Frame

Description

The Crupi Catalina 2.0 Micro Race Frame is a fully redesigned, competition-ready BMX frame built specifically for young riders 4'2" and under. Hand-built in the USA from seamless drawn 6061 T6 butted aluminum, this frame delivers the race-winning geometry Crupi is known for - now with updated wrap-around seat stays, a slightly shorter seat tube, and a built-in Disc Adapter that eliminates the need for axle-mounted add-ons.

Every detail of the Catalina 2.0 is engineered for speed, stiffness, and durability on the race track. From the larger-diameter square-shaped down tube to the teardrop-shaped chain stays, this frame is purpose-built to give junior racers every mechanical advantage. Whether your rider is just stepping up to competitive BMX or pushing for podium finishes, this is the frame that gets them there.

Key Features

• USA Handbuilt Construction: Every Catalina 2.0 frame is hand-built in the United States - quality you can trust from one of BMX's most respected brands.
• 6061 T6 Butted Aluminum Tubing: Seamless drawn 6061 T6 butted tubing provides an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio purpose-built for racing.
• 16.75" Top Tube: Designed for riders 4'2" and under, giving young racers the right fit for confident, aggressive riding positions.
• Built-In Disc Adapter: Integrated disc adapter eliminates axle-mounted kits - compatible with Tektro, TRP Evo, TRP Slate, and all Shimano hydraulic disc brake systems (120mm rotor required; Hope, Avid, and mechanical kits do not fit).
• Wrap-Around Seat Stays: Updated seat stay design adds stiffness and strength to the rear triangle for a more responsive ride feel.
• Teardrop Chain Stays: Specially shaped chain stay tubes deliver a stiff, strong back end for maximum power transfer out of the gate.
• Square-Shaped Down Tube: Larger diameter square down tube increases frame stiffness and overall rigidity under hard racing loads.
• 3/8" (10mm) Parallel Axle Slots: Axle slots run parallel to the ground so rear wheel position never affects frame geometry - consistent performance every time.
• Thicker 3D Drop-Outs: Extra-stiff drop-outs engineered for disc brake use while still allowing standard chain tensioners for easy rear wheel adjustment.
• V-Brake Compatible: Brake posts are included on every Crupi frame, keeping V-brake setups fully supported.
• 1" Integrated Head Tube & EB24 Euro BB: Industry-standard specs for easy component compatibility and straightforward builds.
