Product Description
Fly's Fuego Frame has been totally revamped taking a fresh approach, the Fuego V8 frame is designed to fit different riding styles, whether you're into tech street, all-around riding, or even flatland!
Added an Invest-cast bridge and Yoke to accommodate a short rear end the Fuego now has plenty of clearance for 2.6" tires. On top of all that the standover height has been increased to 9.5", the head tube angle at 76° and the BB height to 11.65".
The 21" version keeps it short at 12.8", striking the perfect balance between stability and a snappy feel. But if you're all about tech street and flat street, the 20.6" size boasts a super short 12.4" rear end. The Fuego V8 also comes loaded with internal and external gussets for extra strength, multi-butted and tapered tubing for an optimal ride, an Investment Cast seat post clamp for added durability, and Dropouts with integrated chain tensioners for hassle-free setup.

FRAME SIZE CHART
Frame sizing is very much a personal preference: some riders like them longer, others shorter. Here's a rough guide - if you have any questions remember we are here to help!3ft - 3ft 8" - best suited to a 16" BMX bike
3ft 8" - 4ft - best suited an 18" BMX bike
4ft - 5ft - 18" to 20" top tube
5ft - 5ft 4" - 20" to 20.25" top tube
5ft 4" - 5ft 8" - 20.25" to 21" top tube
5ft 8" - 6ft - 21" to 21.25" top tube
6ft plus - 21" top tube or longer
| Rider Height (in) | Rider Height (cm) | Top Tube Length |
|---|---|---|
| 5' | 152 | 20" |
| 5'3" | 160 | 20.5" |
| 5'6" | 167 | 20.75" |
| 5'9" | 175 | 21" |
| 6' | 182 | 21.25" |
| 6'6" | 200 | 21.5" |
FRAME GEOMETRY
Frame geometry can take a bit of understanding - but here at SourceBMX we are here to help! The first thing to understand is that BMX frame sizing is best measured by the length of the top tube - shown here as TT. Keep reading on to understand how the angles change how your frame will feel!
Head tube angle determines the angle of your forks. A steeper HT (i.e 75°and higher) will make the bike turn quicker than a mellower angle (i.e 74.5 and lower°). The more responsive the frame, the more twitchy it will feel, especially at high speed!
Seat tube angles don’t vary too much (around 71°) and affect the centre of gravity. The steeper the angle, the shorter your bike will feel. Some frames have a mellower seat tube angle (example 69˚) which makes for a longer frame without actually being longer and reduces how fast your frame turns.
The chain stay is essentially the length of the rear end of the bike. A shorter CS length will make the bike more responsive and a longer one more stable. As a rough guide a 13.5" long chain stay is about average.
Stand over height is essentially how high your frame is. A frame with a low standover height is more responsive and easier to 'throw around' whilst a high SO height is more stable; particularly useful when going fast.
