We are excited to officially announce that Payton Ridenour, the 2026 USA Cycling National Champion has joined the Chase Factory Pro Team. Payton has been a stand out on the USA and UCI BMX racing circuit for quite some time and we are super excited for her to join the Chase Pro Factory Team of Izaac Kennedy, Barry Nobles, & Connor Fields. Payton will be outfitted in her new Chase uniform starting at the USA BMX Legacy Nationals at the USA BMX Headquarters in Tulsa, OK on May 2 & 3rd.
A little back story on how Payton chose Chase at the start of the 2025 season – At the end of 2024, Payton and her long time sponsor parted ways. This only fueled her more to be on top of the sport. When it came time to choose a new frame to race on, she decided on Chase. But maybe not in the way you think. Payton went on the BRGstore.com and purchased a frame for herself. She didn’t e-mail asking for a discount or free frame, she just chose the frame that she thought would give her the best advantage to race on and clicked buy now! This was a pleaseant surprise from us at Chase and we followed up with offering her product support from that day on. Fast Forward to 2026 and we are super excited to work out a Pro contract for Payton and welcome her to the team and Chase Family!

The ERA CF is the result of a long development process. Over the past few years, we’ve worked step by step to better understand what riders really need from a carbon BMX race frame. This project combines rider feedback, real track testing, and continuous refinement.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
