Nightshift style, double-butted, top and down tubes with proven internal gusseting.

Butted Seat Tube & Miter Cut Top Tube:
The seat tube is where all three triangles of the frame meet and it is crucial to keep this tube strong.
Tapered Chain & Seat Stays:
Both chain and seat stays taper to provide a refined and clean look to the frame while still providing strength. The are both angled on the inside for improved chain clearance and weight savings.

A: Top Tube Length:  20.75″ or 21″ – Learn what size is right for you here.Opens in a new tab.

This is a pretty long top tube. Best for taller riders 5’6″ and up.

B: Chain Stay Length: 13.25” to 13.5″ – Learn About Chain Stays HereOpens in a new tab.

This is a long chain stay. Longer Chain-stays give you more control when doing manuals and bunny hops.

C: Head Tube Angle: 75º – Learn About Head Tube Angles HereOpens in a new tab.

Steep head tube angles make the bike “snappy” meaning more responsive to fast turns.

A less steep head tube gives you more control.

D: Seat Tube Angle: 71°

E: Bottom Bracket Height: 11.8″

F: Stand over height: 9″

This is a tall standover. A tall standover gives you more control with barspins and t-bogs.

Conclusion

The Discovery frame is made to last. Sunday kept simplicity in mind by using a clean design. I like the built-in chain tensioner and the removable brake hardware. Oh, and the 🍑 color is pretty sick too. If you are a rider that is taller than 5’6″ looking for a strong frame upgrade this is for you. The Discovery is geared for burly street riding due to the big geometry and heavyweight.

My parents bought me my first BMX bike in 2011 and it changed my life. This bike has taken me all over the world and introduced me to cool places and cooler people. My goal is to help get 1,000,000 people into BMX so they can experience the joy and freedom that comes from a progression based sport.
