In this video we build the new Carbon Radio Terra frame from the ground up and even take it for a few test laps around Rum River BMX! Shop Full Tilt Bike Co. - fulltiltbike.com
Carbon steer tubes are actually pretty popular nowadays. Some would even argue they're stronger than alloy steer tube forks because there's no bonding area on the fork. Maybe this could even be a topic for a future tech video? Carbon steer tube vs. alloy steer tube!
Racers still run narrow in the front? Put a 2.1 PowerBlock or 2.2 Maxxis torch and the bike will ride itself. Bigger diameter plus who needs additional weight reduction in the front?
Yes, it helps reduce the stall when riders drop their tire out of the gate. The bigger the tire, the harder it is to get the front tire up to speed. For riders who don't carry their wheel out of the gate, it doesn't really matter. But for us here at the shop, we find the 1.75 to be the optimal tire size.
complete build comes in at 18lbs. Which is really good for the larger XXXL frame, and there's still a fair amount of weight optimization that could be done to it! (ti bolts, carbon bars, etc.)
We cover all the component sizes in the video, but the frame is a XXXL (22.25 tt) and features the same geometry as the quartz frame which you can see here - fulltiltbike.com/products/radio-raceline-quartz-race-frame-spectral-silver-black
Looks and sounds great! Saving up already!
looks great
What a sick scoot!
Slick Build Man 😎🏁
Love these bike build videos
Thanks for watching! Glad you like them!
That frame looks awesome, carbon steer tube is brave. Factory dads gonna need to get torque wrenches or there are going to be a lot cracked steers

Sweet ride. Love the the videos you share with the bmx community. Thank you. Can I get the extract info to the brakes you used in this build. Please
Gotta agree that's a sweet-looking frame!! Curious as to pricing...
Pricing has yet to be finalized, but we'll update everyone once we know for sure.

whats the weight for a built like that?

What size TT did you go with in your build?
It's a XXXL so a 22.25" top tube. Then we got a 54mm stem on there too. We like our bikes on the longer side here!
What's the coating on the track?
it's soil tac, basically a glue mixture sprayed over top the dirt.
Throw out the specs!! And thanks!
