the previous one but with new carbon 3K layers, new paint design and new seat clamp with quick release made by CNC especially developed for carbon frames.
Our carbon frame technology:
-“Monocoque” frame: We are still using the same technology with a one piece front triangle that we call “Monocoque”.
-Both chain stays and seat stays are as well in one piece in order to increase the rigidity.
-Hand made: The Prophecy BMX racing frame is 100% hand made.
-All carbon layers are placed one by one accordingly a placement chart defined in advance by our engineers and exclusive to our product to give to the rider the right stiffness, resistance and comfort with an incredible weight! (Pro XL frame is 3,19 lbs = 51,14oz, +/-10%).
Quality control:
Many quality controls are done at each stage of the fabrication process to control the weight and avoid mistakes.
All frame sizes are as well previously tested beside human rider test inside our laboratory’s machines:
-BB pedal fatigue test during 100000 cycles with 1200 Newton
-Head tube horizontal force test during 50000 cycle with 1200N
-Vibration test during 30000 cycles with 54kg on seat tube, 42kg on BB, and 20kg on head tube.
-Vertical fatigue test during 50000 cycles at 1200N
Carbon used: Many kinds of carbon fibers in the market could be used to make a carbon bmx frame, and all fibers get different properties and qualities. Prophecy BMX's engineers use TR50 carbon fiber, which is the one who gets the highest strength properties compare to all other standard ones. This guarantees perfect product strength especially with our special Epoxy Resinused from Korea that we have selected.
The choice of the Epoxy is very important as well because it makes the stability of the product, increase stiffness and strength in different areas of the frames in order to improve impact resistance, especially near the BB and head tube. And to maximize 100% the efficiency of our carbon fiber and Epoxy resin , we have developed a frame in 3D ergonomic designed to give to the riders not only stiffness and light weight but as well more comfort to help the rider to transfer all his power and energy to the ground.
The retail price is not finalized yet but it will be online beginning of January on our website.

We are proud to introduce to you our new Prophecy carbon frame for 2012. This new frame will be available in February 2012 for the sizes Pro XL, Pro, Expert XL and Junior. The black color will be still available for frames sizes Pro, Expert XL and Junior to give to riders more choices. So what is new on this frame? Basically with are using the same process of fabrication than
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
