STAYSTRONG V4 : PLUS RIGIDE QUE JAMAIS

As part of its continuous evolution, STAYSTRONG strikes hard once again in 2022 with the release of its new V4 frame!

With a cleaner design and highly effective colorways, the British brand delivers a frame offering unprecedented stiffness. Tested by top riders of the brand such as Izaac KENNEDY and Mattia FURLAN, they were immediately convinced by its responsiveness and efficiency. At the start gate, the frame reacts extremely well during the first pedal strokes, providing a strong acceleration feeling, while also delivering excellent precision through corners. The V4 clearly promises to be very aggressive and will be one to watch closely at the top of the podiums!

The V4 features a higher standover than the previous model, contributing to a better chain alignment. Its top tube is also thicker again, allowing riders to adjust their setup more easily. Additionally, the V4 now comes with a direct BSA-compatible bottom bracket, offering better standardization for everyone. On the V3 models, the bottom bracket was press-fit and required a Stronglight adapter to convert from PressFit to BSA. Like many brands today, STAYSTRONG has chosen to remove V-brake mounts on its new frames, as BMX Race standards are now clearly moving towards disc brakes.

What we can take away from this new 2022 model is a stiff, very stable frame, combined with technical improvements that move closer to current standards and improve compatibility with a wider range of components.

“ What stands out the most to me is the feeling during the first pedal strokes out of the gate. The first, second, and third pedal strokes are stiffer and more efficient, and you instantly feel faster. After just a few practice starts, I achieved my best time down the SX hill. ”

• GONZALO MOLINA (OLYMPIC RIDER & WORLD CHAMPION)

“ With personal best times both from the first straight, over full laps, and while remaining extremely precise through corners, the V4 is THE race frame a rider needs! ”

• MATTIA FURLAN (ITALIAN ELITE TEAM)
