The ENVY replaced both the S7 and the G6e in one move: a custom tube specification in Easton's ULR — Ultra Light Race — 7005 series aluminum, with wall thicknesses, shapes, and tapers designed specifically for BMX racing.

The Story

Working with former Easton engineers, Supercross specified every tube: hydroformed shapes, double heat treatment, an integrated Campy-style head tube, CNC Euro bottom bracket and dropouts. The result came within about 50 grams of the scandium S7 at half the price — and the whole pro team moved onto it.

The ENVY held the title of lightest production race frame for five years, and it started the trophy run: USA BMX Golden Crank Bike of the Year in 2011 and again in 2012, the year Supercross also took Team of the Year. The platform's lineage — ENVY, RS7, BLK, and the Vision F1 — has now won Bike of the Year eight times, a record.

The platform evolved through numbered variations. The V1 ran 2009–2011. The V2 (2011–2013) moved to a smaller dropout and refined the tapers on the butting. The V3 brought a forged dropout with back-side CNC work and an even further refined tubeset. The V5, introduced in 2014, added a tapered 1-1/8–1.5" head tube on the Pro-size frames — the smaller sizes kept the straight head tube — and gave Pro-size and larger frames 15 mm dropouts with adapters down to 3/8" axles.

By 2014 the ENVY V5 was the factory team's race bike — in team neon yellow, it made the cover of BMX Plus! in March 2014 under Apple Valley program rider Jeremy Rommel, fronting the magazine's USA BMX Grand Nationals and Riders of the Year issue.
