Supercross BMX — Est. 1989 · Apple Valley, California
The Hall of Champions
Eight Golden Cranks. A five-year winning streak no other frame brand has matched. A World Champion. National titles on three continents. Olympic-medalist riders who chose to come home to Supercross after their podiums.
In 1989 Bill Ryan built the first Supercross frame so Billy Harrison would have something faster to ride. Thirty-seven years, eight Golden Cranks, and one of the most decorated factory teams in BMX later, this page is the receipts.
Olympic Pedigree on the Factory Team
Three Olympic-tier riders are on the Supercross Factory Team today. Two won their medals before joining us. One made the Olympic final on a Supercross frame in Beijing. We're honest about which is which.
Beijing 2008 · Olympic Finalist on a Supercross
Samantha Cools
Made the Olympic final on the Supercross S7 platform. Crashed in the main. "We were heartbroken with her and proud of her in the same breath. That's BMX." — Bill Ryan. The first and only Olympic finalist on a Supercross frame to date. Also: 2004 + 2005 ABA Women's National #1 Pro and Double UCI Junior World Champion (20" Class + Cruiser) — all on Supercross frames. Five major Supercross-era titles. The most decorated woman in Supercross history.
Factory Team · Pro XXL Vision
Māris Štrombergs
2× Olympic Gold (Beijing 2008 on ONE Bike, London 2012 on Free Agent). The most decorated BMX racer in Olympic history. Joined the Supercross Factory Team after his Olympic career. Locked through Brisbane 2032. He chose Supercross because he wanted to — not because we had the biggest paycheck.
Factory Team · Pro 4XXXXL Vision F1x
Kye Whyte
Olympic Silver, Tokyo 2020 (held 2021) — riding for GT at the time. Joined the Supercross Factory Team after Tokyo. Now on the Vision F1x carbon. 2026 plan is UCI World Cups in Europe first, then back to USA racing after rehab from a 2025 back injury. Training videos suggest he's ahead of Ross Cullen on current form.

Industry Firsts
1980s
First BMX brand to use carbon fiber
Supercross was the first BMX brand to put carbon fiber into a race frame. Before it was a category, we were already there.
2021
World's first BMX monocoque carbon frame
Vision F1. Single uniform carbon construction. No joints. No welds. No bonded areas. 18 months of testing before launch. Won the 2021 Golden Crank.
2026
World's first BMX frame using Toray M40x + M46x prepreg + T1100-KS
Vision F1x. The same Toray aerospace carbon fibers used in the Red Bull F1 Team chassis. Validated by Kye Whyte and Oliver Moran before launch.
By the Numbers
The Through-Line
Every rider on this page chose to race a Supercross frame. None were chosen because Supercross had the biggest paycheck. They were chosen because Supercross had the best bike the brand knew how to build, and because the partnership was real.
Bill Ryan started at SE Racing in 1981 at age 12, sweeping floors and stickering frames for Scot Breithaupt. Forty-five years later he still designs every frame in the line. That continuity is the answer to how a five-person operation in Apple Valley, California puts riders on Olympic podiums alongside brands ten times its size.
The receipts aren't a marketing flex. They're the proof.
