BMX Bikes Explained

1. What are they?

   BMX bikes are compact stunt bikes that are durable and highly manoeuvrable. Their design encourages quick bursts of acceleration, gravity based tricks, racing and freestyle riding.

2. Why are they good?

   BMX stunt bikes are impressively agile and their high handlebar position and 20 inch wheels make them ideal for performing tricks and stunts. BMX stands for Bicycle Moto-X and its origins lie in race circuits with banked corners, jumps and rhythm sections. BMX race bikes are lightweight and stiff to aid power transfer and withstand the jumps of a race circuit.

3. How do I choose a BMX Bike?

   BMX riding spans across a number of disciplines such as street, skate-park, dirt jumping and BMX racing. It’s essential that you identify which discipline is for you and purchase a BMX bike that has the right characteristics for your kind of riding.
