DEVO (1999–2004) — Supercross BMX Heritage
Supercross BMX Heritage Collection · The Refinement Era
DEVO
1999–2004The cro-mo series that carried the Supercross rear end into the 2000s — secondary seat stays, flipped.
The DEVO series launched in 1999, the same year Supercross began its move to Apple Valley, California — cro-mo frames running a flipped version of the Supercross secondary seat stay design as aluminum took over the sport.
The Story
Not every racer wanted aluminum. The DEVO gave the cro-mo faithful a current frame with the rear-end geometry Supercross built its name on, and it ran for six seasons alongside its sibling EVO line. A DEVO Pro 24 cruiser served the big-wheel crowd.
The DEVO era closed in 2004 — the first year aluminum frame sales outsold cro-mo at Supercross.
