Title: BXT Frames
Post by: SometimesFast on April 26, 2025, 09:47:04 PM

Hello All,

I’m thinking of buying a BXT carbon hardtail frame and was curious if anyone has any experience with them?

Can't tell you too much because I've only got one BXT frame, but it's been fantastic. No problems whatsoever. It's the Hightower clone that I bought to replace the Haideli Hightower clone that had big problems.

Sounds like a positive review.  If a full suss frame has no problems then a hardtail should be worth the risk.

Thanks

Which BXT frame were you looking at?

I had an older version of the version of the MTB 036 and didn’t really have any issues with it. But it is worthwhile to keep in mind that the geometry on BXT frames can be a bit wonky since a lot of them have really long chain stays and the headtube tends to be more on the steeper side (though some will argue this is better for stability).

I also heard that the MTB 056 (hardtail Scott Spark) were having a lot of issues with cracking seat stays. I don’t know if they ever addressed this issue with the updated frame though.

The frame that I’m looking at is the T1000 from BXT. It’s a pretty straight forward hardtail frame but I don’t know the history of the company.


Cheers

I have a bxt road 115. I stripped down the pain and there was a lot of plaster filler around the junctions of the rear triangle. I just a big red flag. I hope the new models don't have this quality.

Broke mine within 1/2 year and they wouldn’t warranty it.

That sucks.  Thanks for the reviews.
